My daughter A has been learning how to sew from Grandma Maggie. Apparently A whipped up a skirt for herself earlier today. She's made a couple of pillows and another skirt, too. Krista related the following conversation to me tonight:
Krista: I can't sew very well. And your Dad isn't even interested in sewing, he'll probably never learn to sew.
A (horrified): You mean that for the rest of his life he'll have to buy his clothes?

Obviously, Mom is not around today
A (from upstairs): DAD! I DON'T HAVE ANY CLOTHES!
Me (Downstairs): YOU'RE CRAZY! I PUT ALL YOUR CLOTHES AWAY YESTERDAY!
A: MY DRAWERS ARE EMPTY!
Me: Come here.
A: WHAAAAT?
Me: COME HERE!
A: OKAY!
(thump thump thump thump down the stairs)
A: There are no clothes in my drawer.
Me: Do you remember yesterday when your drawer wouldn't close because I had put so many clothes in them?
A: Yes.
Me: But now there are no clothes in your drawer?
A: They are in the wrong drawer.
Me: So. Get your clothes. Out of the wrong drawer.
A: Okay!
(Thump thump thum--)
A: DAD! Z IS WEARING MY CLOTHES!
Z: THEY WERE IN MY DRAWER!
Me: Come here.
Z and A: WHAAAAAAAT?
Me: COME HERE!
Z and A: OKAY!
Z (upset): These aren't mine but they were in my drawer!
Me: Sigh. Listen. I put your clothes away yesterday. I can't always tell whose clothes are whose. So if you find your sister's clothes in your drawer... don't wear them. Give them to your sister.
Z (still upset): But now I can't get this shirt off! It's too small.
Me (helping her get the shirt off): A general rule of life is, "If you can't get the shirt on, it's probably not yours."
Z: I could get it on, I just couldn't get it off.
The children finally arrived, Z dressed with clothes from her drawers and A dressed in the clothes that Z had returned to her.
