Crime and Punishment

 Today I went to pick up Amy from school and took her right home since we had plans to go swimming with the Golightly's .  When I got home Elyse was in her room crying.  I went to go see what was wrong, when she started trying to talk I thought she had done something that she felt bad about.  That was partially true. 

 The story:  

Elyse "Caia sent me to my room."

Mom: "Why did she send you to your room?"

Elyse still crying: "I licked the wall."

Mom: "You what?"

Elyse: "I licked the wall."

Mom: "Why did you lick the wall?"

Elyse: "To get the turkey flavor off my tongue." (the turkey we opened last night and I had some today for lunch, it was fine she just didn't like the taste.)

Mom: "Caia did you send your sister to her room for licking the wall?"

Caia: "Yes licking the wall is gross."

OK I don't know what made me laugh harder the fact that Elyse licked the wall or that Caia sent her to her room for it.  Every time I tell that story I laugh myself to tears!
