A few more funnies from the kids

--On my birthday (of course, they had to make it memorable!) I was upstairs when Felicity came into the room leading a sludge-covered, slightly stunned looking Abby.  Well, I didn't know what it was, just this green slime that was throughout her hair, dripping down her face, shoulder, and arm, and her hands were covered as she tried to keep it from getting into her eyes.  My first panicked thought was that it was some kind of cleaner, but Felicity told me that Seth had dumped some shampoo on her. I managed to get it off without getting any in her eyes (whew) and then I interrogated Seth. Apparently, and this is filled with some details that I'm guessing at because he was a little embarrassed and not keen on talking, they were playing hide and seek and decided to hide in the bathtub downstairs together. They were waiting quietly when Seth saw the shampoo sitting there and thought he could wash Abby just as well as Mommy could.  This is where he stopped talking, but I've figured it out with some help from Felicity.  He dumped about a third of the bottle on her head when he realized this wasn't as good of an idea as he had thought and  he was probably going to be in trouble.  So he got out of the bathtub, turned out the light, shut the door, and went to tell Felicity that "Abby is in the bathtub with the lights out."  Felicity ran downstairs to find Abby who was forlornly and quietly waiting for someone to rescue her. She smelled Rain Forest Fresh the rest of the day.
--Abby loves my chapstick in my purse. One day she grabbed Felicity excitedly and told her, "I show you something!" She triumphantly pulled out the chapstick, and told Felicity, "This makes me happy!"
--At dinner sometimes we play an animal guessing game where one of us will think of an animal and everyone else asks questions until someone guesses the right animal.  Tonight, Seth's three guesses were: A dinosaur.  A dragon. And Captain America.

I'm sure I'll have more to add to the collection soon.
