It's not as fun to reenact as you might think.

Me: Okay, before you watch this, you must go upstairs and put underpants on under your nightgown.
Her: (doing splits and the like all over the carpet) I don't like underpants.
Me: I don't recall asking you.
Her: But I don't need them.
Me: Yeah, you do. Go and get some on.
Her: I don't like underpants.
Me: This does not bode well for your future. Anyway, you have two choices—go upstairs and put underpants on, or go upstairs and get dressed. Which…now that I think of it, also involves underpants.
Her: I don't want to wear underpants.
Me: Then you have a problem. Either get dressed or put underpants under your nightgown.
Her: I don't like underpants. I don't need them.
Me: Go upstairs and get underpants.
Her: Nah. I don’t want to wear them.
Me: Go.
Her: But--
Me: GO.
Her: (STOMPS UPSTAIRS, NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN)

One time, I woke up and my then 4 year old son had FLOURED the living room floor!

What was his logic on that one?

From:

This was at our old place, no carpet, and the living room was ginourmous, like 13 feet by I don't recall. It was after I had baked a cake I think and had shown him how to grease and flour a pan... Well come to think of it, could have been worse, he might have GREASED and floured the floor. gah

Anyhow I asked him, I think he tried to tell me something about how he wanted to vacuum the floor and he was putting stuff down to vacuum.

Yeah, I didn't believe it either.
