Clueless

I was treating myself to a cup of hot cider while I watched Good Morning American and listened to Ben and Lauren playing together nicely in their room when all hell broke loose. I heard a giant crash and rather than crying I heard accusations "Benny did it!” "No, Lolo did it!". I ran upstairs to find their dresser completely emptied out, clothes strewn from one end of the room to the other, and the dresser on it's side.

Lauren: Benny trashed my room; look (pointing at the dresser) he broke it!
Ben: No, Lolo did it!
Me: What happened?
Lauren: Benny did it!
Ben: Lolo did it!
Me: Ben did you do this?
Ben: No, Lolo did it!
Me: Lauren did you do this?
Lauren: No, Benny did it!
Me: Who did this?

At the very same time they both accused the other by pointing and saying "Benny/Lolo did it!” I am afraid this will not be the last time they accuse each other and I end up leaving the room just as clueless as I was when I walked in.

I finally got over feeling like a complete fool so I decided to talk to Jack.

Me: When is Scooby Doo going to be over?
Jack: When they take the bad guys mask off, duh.
Me: We are going to go see Santa, when will you be ready to go?
Jack: I already told you, when they take the bad guys mask off.

When did I become so stupid? I thought that didn't happen until the kids were teenagers. I can't imagine how stupid I will be then!
