Mon chérubin hilarant

My boys are going through a phase. For about the last 6 months. Every night when they hear me coming through the front door they abandon their dinner and hide under the kitchen table.

They know that I know where they are.

They jump out and say "boo" anyway, and laugh when I pretend to freak out.


Last night, we had a variation on this when young Cherub decided to stay under the table for as long as possible.

It went like this:


INC: Where's Cherub gone?

Cherub (from under the table): You have to guess where I am.

INC: Okay. Are you in Japan?

Cherub (from under the table): No

INC: Are you in America?

Cherub (from under the table): No

INC: Are you under the table and you need to come up and eat your dinner right now?

Cherub (from under the table): No

INC: I think you are.

Cherub (from under the table): You have to ask if I'm in France.

INC: Okay [small sigh] Are you in France?

Cherub (from under the table): NO!
