One night, as I was putting Baab and Katya to bed. [<em>Truthmeter interjects</em>: only Katya because Baab can sleep all by himself now!]
As I was reading her a story, I remembered something I wanted to tell Mrs. Porcupyn and yelled out to her. After no response, I heard kids muttering "Lazy amma!" under their breath.
Immediately, I corrected their perception "Lazy Appa not lazy Amma!" adding that, after all, Amma does most of the work in the house and Appa just sits and does nothing.
<em>Defence Attorney</em> Katya rose up to Appa's defence: "Well, Appa <em>dooz</em> a lot of work too! He reads to me every night when I go to bed!" [Strictly speaking, not true, says the <em>Truthmeter </em>because sometimes Appa watches <a href="http://www.nbc.com/outsourced/">Outsourced</a> or <a href="http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/26393211/">Sunday Night Football</a> and neglects Katya at bedtime]
Porcupyn: "Well, that's not a lot! Besides, Amma does so much other work!"
Katya (<em>continues in her role as Defence Attorney</em>): "... AND you give me bath!" [Truthmeter agrees, but ...]
Porcupyn: "That's not a big deal and besides, Amma does that too!"
Katya (<em>presents an irrefutable argument</em>): "Well, you bring me home from daycare too!" [<em>Truthmeter</em> goes ding ding ding as Katya delivers a TKO ;-)]
PS: Appa is acquitted (<em>for the time-being, at least</em>) of the crime of being lazy.
