May or may not have been heard at our house:

"Why did I only get one pair of underpants from you in the laundry this week?”

“I don’t know. Maybe ‘cause I only took one shower.”

“Wait. You only took one shower?”

Nod.

{How did I not notice that?}

“Hmm. That’s not enough.”

“oKAY.”

“And also? Wait a minute….FAMILY MEETING! EVERY ONE COME HERE A MINUTE!”

Kids assemble from all corners of the house.

“Is everyone aware that the standard is clean underpants Every. Single. Day??

Guffaws & nods.

“Okay. Because I’m definitely not seeing 21 pairs of kid underpants every week in the laundry, if you know what I mean…”

Horrified silence.

“Can we go now?”

“Yes.”

I’m pretty sure I had mentioned all this to them before. More than a few times.
It wasn’t the Romney’s sickness training video* but it was needed all the same.
