Multiple choice
I was in the bathroom cleaning the floor. Emma walks in, "Mommy, what are you doing?"

"I'm cleaning the floor."

"Why?"

"Because it's dirty and it needs to be cleaned."

"Why?"

Blah, blah, blah...doesn't matter what I say.

I turn around and look at her and she's holding my can of dry Comet cleanser.

"Emma, put that down. You shouldn't be touching it, it has bad chemicals."

I turn away and resume scrubbing.

Emma's next logical move would be:

a. Put down the can of Comet like Mommy said.
b. Commence another round of the "Why?" quiz.
c. Start shaking the can and sprinkling Comet all over the bathroom rug.

HINT: The answer is always "c."
