The Golden Rule (in our house)

Last night prior to dinner in the middle of the kitchen floor this is what I overheard:

Ashleigh: "Ryan! Lay down on the floor and stay!"

Ryan: "NO!"

Ashleigh: "Ryan! Lay down on the floor and stay!"

Ryan: unresponsive...

Ashleigh: "Ryan! I want you to lay down on the floor and stay and pretend to be meatloaf!"

Me: "Wha?"

Ashleigh: "Ryan! Pretend to be meatloaf!"

Me: "Ashleigh, why do you want your brother to pretend to be meatloaf?"

Ashleigh: "Because I want to cook him!"

Me: "Ah, of course. Why do you want to cook your brother?"

Ashleigh: "Because he's my friend..."

Me: "Right... completely makes sense now."
