Joseph (calling out to me): Mrs. Butterfly? I just need to stay here and lay down. Because there need to be many butterflies coming out, so I need to lay some more eggs.
.........
Me (enthusiast voice): Who wants to take a bath?
Joseph: not me! Not me!!
Me: Joseph, you have to take a bath. You are dirty.
Joseph: Noooo!! I don't want to take a bath. I don't want to.
Me: Joseph, you have to take a bath.
Joseph: Noooooo!!!!
Me: Yes, you do. Boys who do not take a bath do not get to play with Ipads, kindles or anything with a screen.
Joseph (tugging at his buttons and dropping his shorts simultaniously): help me! Help me!!

"Joseph! Did you just hit your brother on the head with a book?!"
"No. It was a piano."
