Background: Enoch and Kate have made up a game to play in the car. When they get buckled in before Mom does they each get a pretend chocolate trophy. Since it encourages them to get in their seats and buckle up, I'm all for it.
Today when Greg and I got in the car to go the church, Kate was crying. She was crying because Enoch took away her pretend chocolate trophy. (Yep, I was thinking the same thing you are - just wait, it gets better.) When we asked Enoch why he took away her trophy he said she was eating it before she was buckled in. Greg said to give it back to her. Enoch refused.
Greg said, "Give it back it her or I will take away ALL the chocolate trophies."
Enoch said, "I'll just make more."
Greg said, "Give it back or I will take away your pretend chocolate trophy making equipment and you can't make any more.
Enoch said, "Oh, yes I can."
Kate piped in, "I'll help Enoch make some pretend chocolate trophy making equipment and then we can make more and have all we want."
Then I threw my hands in the air and said, "Why are we having this conversation?!"

Enoch and Kate, will you make me a chocolate trophy for getting Marcus buckled in first in our family?
So funny! I love what great friends Enoch and Kate are. I hope my kids have as much fun playing together.
P.S. I can't find your email address in my contacts list anymore! I don't know how to reply to comments on my blog so...We don't have an Elder Ellis serving in our ward right now, but what a small world!
BAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Nothing like arguing over the pretend. Aaah, kids.
Imagination Station! That's what your house is! Your children have a lot of imagination! That is so wonderful! (I know it it sometimes a little much, i.e. the "kitties" and "tigers" that live at your house, but enjoy it while it lasts.)
That is seriously hilarious! But you do have the cutest kids with the cutest immaginations.
You're having this conversation now so you can laugh about it years from now, and so will they when they're older. :)
