earlier
me: “Alice peed on my bed.”
mom: “Clean it up.”
me: “She was digging in my sponge rollers, maybe she thought it was big litter.”

later
me: “Pearlie, get over here, or I’m going to bring those kittens in here.”
mom as Pearlie: “Kittens aren’t allowed on the bed, they might wee.”
me: “You’ve weed plenty of places before.”
mom as Pearlie: “Only outside and on my wee pads. …and right beside my wee pads, when I thought my hiney was on it.”
me: “In Alice’s defense, she probably thought her hiney was in my sponge rollers.”
mom as Pearlie: “When you’re little, sometimes you just can’t tell where your hiney is.”
