Yesterday I called the boys in from playing in the backyard to take a bath. (Actually, a shower--they were too dirty for a bath.)

"We don't want to!" they whined.

But they trudged upstairs anyway, grabbing toys along the way.

Harrison hopped in with his Lego guys. But Cameron "hid" behind the bedroom door.

"Cameron . . . " I warned. "I see you. Come on."

Then I heard him say this:

"Cameron Jones is not available right now. Please leave a message. Beep!"

Boy, did he have the timing and delivery right on that one! We all laughed and laughed.

(All the way to the shower.)
