Vacuuming Fun

Right now, at this very moment, my boys are fighting over who gets to vacuum my couch. Yes, it's a brave new world, over here.

Earlier, when it was Nicholas' turn, Benjamen kept getting in his way, sitting on the bare frame, all the cushions scattered on the floor in front of the couch. With a bit of mystery in my voice, I called Benjamen over, "Come here."

"What?" he asked as he came closer.

"Sit here on this big cushion."

"Why?" he asked.

And as I put the other big cushion on top of him, I said, "So I can have a Benjamen sandwich!" and I laughed and laughed as I walked away.

Then a little, muffled voice came floating to my ears: "Then EAT ME!"
