Annabel: “Don’t turn the light on, Mom. We have to keep all the lights off for the show.”
Me: “I’m very glad that you are having a show, but I have to get dressed for work so I need the light on.”
Annabel: “I’m going to have Sam come in here and shoot you.”
Me: “What?!?!?!”
Annabel, heading down the hall: “Sam, I need you to come down here and shoot Mom with your turtle.”
******************
Basically, I have lost all control of the situation. That’s the point of the story.
No, he didn’t shoot me. But he did have a turtle.
Beyond the Dooryard 
Soon, the mob boss is just going to give Sam a look and you won’t have time to react.
And the smoking turtle will tell no tales…
Things are hardcore in your house. Turtles are REGULATING.
We had a similar situation the other night while I was trying to work but couldn’t because I had to sit still because FIRE BOY was back in the house and he was PISSED at the ICE QUEEN (me) and if I moved at all he would shoot me with his FLAME HANDS and I would MELT. Also, Fire Boy was naked. Again.
