In a burst of housecleaning frenzy I did some rearranging and reappropriation of storage containers. Which led to this conversation with my son.
Lex:Â Why are my stuffed animals all in my laundry basket?
Me:Â Because now it is a stuffed animal basket.
Lex: Oh. [leaves]
Lex:Â [immediately comes back]Â But where are my dirty clothes going to go now?
Me:Â In a laundry basket.
Lex: Okay. [shrugs and walks away]
Man, I love this kid’s easygoing nature. It sure is a nice contrast to his sister, who reacted to the changes in her room with “Why did you do that? Why is that there? But where did the other one go? Why did you put that in my closet? But WHY?!”
