Not sure what this says about our house

Child 1 and child 3 love to play Pet Shop.  They pretend to be animals and I pretend to buy them.  The other day they were being cats (big surprise).

Child 1: "Mom, this is a pet store.  Can you come and buy us?"

Me: "I'm right in the middle of making dinner, and I can't leave right now.  Can you wait?"

Child 1: "Can't you buy us online?"

Me: "Absolutely.  Click, click, click.  Beep, beep.  Gee, I can't wait until my new cats come in the mail!"

And they delivered themselves to my kitchen door, unpacked themselves from their remote-control crates (laundry baskets) and moved into the living room.  I got dinner made without having them underfoot and they still felt like I was playing with them.

Parenting WIN.
