Flavor of birthday cake

Me: What kind of birthday cake do you want for your party?
Things Two: Oh, I get to pick? How about butterfly nectar, like from flowers. You know, what bees and butterflies drink.

Wasting my life

Thing One and I picked flowers from the garden for a party this evening.
Thing One (standing in the garden while holding the vase): I'm wasting my life.
Me: What do you mean?
Thing One: I'm standing around not getting anything done.
Me: Oh.
Thing One: I'm wasting my life RIGHT NOW.
