"Mommy?" Jack doesn't lift his eyes from his homework.
"Yes?"
"Would you be mad if I did something bad, like Cassie did?"
"Probably. What did you do?"
Still not looking directly at me: "I ate an Otter Pop in the living room and I didn't see it leaking."
"It leaked on the carpet?"
He looks at me now. "Yes. But I got a cloth and I wiped it." Gesturing.
A moment of silence, his eyes locked on mine. My small smile. "Bad Jack. Shame."
His small smile. "Are you gonna make me go outside now?"
brilliant. all cleaned up.
