Magic!
The leprechauns visited our home last night. While we were sleeping, they went about their mischievous leprechaun business and got to work, setting up a trail of sparkle clovers and candy and golden nickels. They especially enjoyed the kitchen, and the milk in the fridge is now the color of new spring grass.
The Kelley-hued milk was the highlight for the seven-year-old, until he discovered something even more amazing than green dairy products. Leprechaun PEE! Before leaving, the leprechauns must have visited the restroom (all that green beer, can't say I blame them) because our toilet water is also Kelley green. I, personally, thought it was a little rude of them not to flush, but I suppose our bathroom is not ADA-leprechaun compliant, and they do have little arms, so I'm over it.
Ethan was beside himself at this magical toilet water, I had to discourage him from taking a thermos full of it to school to show his friends. I did promise that he could bring his buddies over after school to brag about our "magic" toilet. $5 per ticket for admission is reasonable, don't you think?

The Prosecution Rests
Go to sleep, it is bedtime.
How do I know it is bedtime?
What do you mean?
It does not say bedtime on the clock. There is no sign that tells me it is bedtime.
I SAY it is bedtime. So it is.
But, how do I know you are telling the truth? You could be making that up so I have to go to bed earlier so you have the house to yourself. I don't know. It could be morning for all I know.
Yes, it is morning. Now get dressed for school.
But you said it was bedtime!
Right then, now go to sleep ...
