Overheard

Sunday afternoon activity - playing with a big box. 

Quinn: "OK.  A little more tape and we'll mail Colby to Australia."

Colby:  "One problem.  The box isn't very sturdy."  (Mom note:  THAT'S the problem with mailing him to Australia???)

Quinn: "It smells like chicken farts in here."

Colby: "Yeah, I farted."

Quinn: "Wait, I have an idea.  Get out get out get out."

Reagan: "How bout I get mailed to Australia?"

Colby: "We need tape!"

Reagan: "Shut me!  Shut me!  Now!  Tape me!  Tape me!  Make it a surprise for Quinn."

Colby: "Take the light-saber so there's light in there."

(After a few minutes)

Colby: "OK, Mom.  I'm ready to mail Reagan."

Mom: "Where to?"

Reagan (from inside the taped box) "Mail to Africa!"

Quinn comes and opens the box.  Then shrieks and runs away, when he finds his sister.  "I don't want it!  I don't want it!"  ha ha ha

So then, Colby puts Quinn in the box.

Quinn: "It's really uncomfortable in here."

Colby: "It's a jail cell.  It's supposed to be uncomfortable."

Quinn: "Is this how it's supposed to be?  Do I fit?"
Colby: "Yes.  I just have to tape it more.  Jackpot."
