Horsing Around

(My mother-in-law has picked my son up from school, to discover one side of his coat is coated in syrup. They get home.)

Mother-In-Law: “Take that coat off so I can wash it.”

Son: “Hold your horses!”

Mother-In-Law: *pretending to be huffy* “Well. I. Don’t. Have. Any!”

Son: *pretending back* “Well PRETEND!”
