Double Wombat

Tonight while making dinner:

Sarah: Omygosh today we had a fire drill!
Robert: Was there a fire?
Me: Noo..It was practice, right Sarah?
Sarah: No! It was a REAL fire drill!

...

Robert spotted our cat Freya doing something gross.
Robert: Freya! Don't you have any manners?
Sarah: Daddy, I'm sure she has at least 1 manner!

Puzzled Wombat

Sarah has been working her way through a book of mazes.

Sarah: What do I do here?
Me: It says "The baby elephant is lost! Help her find her family."
Sarah: *solves it and goes to the next one* What do I do here?
Me: It says "Help the zookeeper bring the bananas to the monkey!"
Sarah: *solves it and goes to the next one* And what do I do here?
Me: Help the ant find the picnic basket!
Sarah: *huffs* Why do they need my help? Why can't they help themselves?
