excuses

I have a lot to catch up on--like Esther's third birthday!--but right now I'm tired after a busy day, so I'll just share a few of Esther's creative excuses for not doing what she has been asked to do.

Daddy:  Let go of that book!
Esther (in a conciliatory tone, without moving her hand):  I'm just holding it.

Mommy (after Esther poked the keys on the computer keyboard and changed the screen):  Esther!  You know you're not supposed to touch the keyboard when it's not your program!
Esther:  My elbow just did it [as opposed, presumably, to she herself--she also has tried to see if she can get away with pushing buttons with a toy].

Mommy:  Esther, come put your pajamas on.
Esther:  I'm busy spitting on my leg.  [And she was!  Don't ask me why...]
