When you're kids know you too well

When you're kids know you too well.... they know how to get away with stuff. Here's a conversation I had with my second oldest after they had built a tent on their bed.

Me: "hey, no playing in a tent, clean this up."
E: "we're not playing in a tent, we're playing Star Trek."

Me: "Do you think just because it's Star Trek, I'll let you play?"
E: "Yeah."

S: "I know, I used my fork."
