The Necessity Of Invention

I turned off the kitchen faucet after doing the dishes and I heard whispering ...

*whisper whisper whisper*

Me: "What are you two whispering about?"

In unison: "Nothing!"

Me: "'Nothing' ... ??? What's the point of whispering about nothing? Come on. You had to have been whispering about something ..."

Daughter #1: "Well, we were whispering about ... whispering."

Me: "That's dumb. Who would do that? Who would whisper about whispering?"

Daughter #2: "We would, that's who ..."

Daughter #1: "And if it's so dumb, why would they have invented whispering?"

Day #1 With The Girls

I'm certain the fun has just begun ...

"What do you guys want to do today?" I asked both the girls. 

"Let's go toilet paper somebody's house! That would be cool!" said the littlest.

"Are you goofy? It's snowing outside."

"That's what would make it cool! It would make it that much harder to clean up!"

"Hello! It's snowing outside! You wouldn't be able to see a toilet-papered house that's white with snow. Did you forget toilet paper is also white?"

"We could dye it a different color ..."

"When you wipe your butt it disintegrates. So how in the world are you going to dye toilet paper ... ?!??"

*raucous laughter*
