Me: Why are there a bunch of golf balls in the fridge?
Children: For the same reason there are pencils in the toaster, Mother. What a ridiculous question! Can you not see our curious little minds must work through the intricacies of thermodynamics in our youth so that we can unleash the power of free energy in the prime of life?
Me: Uhh....right. That must be it.
Children: There, there, Mother. Now return to your pots and cooking instruments that you may prepare for us a perfectly balanced delicious meal from the Canary Islands to which we will turn up our noses come meal time. We shall demand oatmeal as soon as bedtime has been announced.
Me: Just like last night.
Children: See, Mother? You're getting it already! Bravo!
