Self-interrogation

Lucas opened the pepper grinder and dumped the peppercorns all over the kitchen counter tonight.

J: Oh no, what a mess!
L: (After pondering the situation) Where mess come from?
J: You should ask yourself that question.
L: (Pauses.) Lucas, where mess come from?
J: Laughs
L: (Smiling.) Funny! (Long pause.) Lucas, you made mess.

Good one, Lucas! But I'm hoping you don't make a habit of talking to yourself - that's for old people like Grandma!

I love the Socratic parenting Lucas is getting from both Mom and Dad...
