The other day I found a laundry basket upside down in my room with our little vacuum robot (Terry) underneath it.

I asked my 5 yo "why did you put a basket over Terry! Now his battery is dead and he's all sad!"

Him: "Terry was already sitting still, so I put the basket on him!"

Me: "Well, buddy, you should have let me and mom know Terry was stuck! If you see something, say something."

Him for the next 3 minutes: "Oh, Dad, I see a thing! Oh, Dad, I see a thing! Oh, Dad, I see a thing! Oh, Dad, I see a thing! Oh, Dad, I see a thing! Oh, Dad, I see a thing! Oh, Dad, I see a thing! Oh, Dad, I see a thing! Oh, Dad, I see a thing!

Pointing at each thing he saw along the way. I laughed for a while and then cried uncle.
