My wife intercepts 10yo while he’s going downstairs.

– Hep hep hep!
– Oh… okay.

He turns around and goes back to his room, then starts tidying it. I look at her, incredulous:

– Did you know he hadn’t tidied his room?
– No, I didn’t. I often do this. I “hep hep hep” them, and see how they react. I don’t know what they’re guilty of. It doesn’t matter. THEY know.
