Overheard in Storeyland

While bathing the children the other night, Emily was the last to get in the tub. Meanwhile, I was running around getting everyone ready for bed. All of a sudden, I heard giggling so I stood outside the bathroom door to investigate the cause of such bubbly laughter. Hannah went in to brush her teeth while Emily was still bathing but got distracted by squirting lotion all over Emily.
"More...More, it's not working!' Emily demanded then fell into another fit of giggles as Hannah put more lotion on her.
"There that should take it out if you just rub it in!" Hannah encouraged with a fit of giggles.
"No, I need more," Emily insisted "I am still full of WRUNKLES!" (aka wrinkles)

Immediately I figured out what was going on...Emily had soaked in the tub so long she was wrinkled up and the girls figured lotion would take them out!!! There was so much lotion that I had to drain the tub and give her another bath. To them I appeared to be reprimanding them for getting into the lotion without permission but on the inside I was laughing. There truly is NEVER a dull moment in Storeyland!
