Owen drags broom and dustpan into room to sweep up enormous pile of peanuts and peanut dust that he just spilled on the carpet while I'm nursing Asher...

Owen:  Mommy, Mrs. Laura in class has dis broom too!
Me:  Oh, does Mrs. Laura use it to clean up messes?
Owen:  Yep.  Those kids smash goldfish all over the floor during snack time.  They make a LOT of messes.
