Laugh or Cry Moment - AKA Joseph's Upsteps Party

Boy:  "Mummy, I'm going to have a party upsteps"

Me:  "OK, sweetie, that sounds like fun"

Boy:  "Yes, you can come upsteps when I'm ready"

Me: "OK, shout me when I can come upstairs"

Some twittering important work happens, then 10 minutes later...

Boy:  "Mummy, you can come upsteps to my party now!"

Me:  "Erm.... "  *thinks to self - WTF!*  "Why have you taken all your toys and books off the shelves and piled them into the middle of the room?"

Boy:  "For the party, oh it doesn't matter Mummy, go back downsteps!"


Just in case you think it doesn't look that bad, I would like to point out that under all the bigger stuff is a box of dominoes, various lego bricks, jigsaw pieces, the plastic sticks from kerplunk and various other small plastic bits of stuff that need putting back into the relevant boxes.

I am holding off the tears... for the time being.
