I don't know what goes on around your house in the evenings.  But, around here you just never know what might happen.  There are evenings when Ms L can be found creating snowflakes or writing letters to her pen pals.  N can be found reading (Quelle Surprise!) or perhaps hunched over a Lego creature of some kinds.

And there there are evenings like tonight.   N set up a Help booth in the living room ala Lucy Van Pelt.    Not to be outdone Ms L sets up a help desk in her room.  N's is bar bones and overpriced  at one dollar a session.  Ms L's is lovely with mood lighting and bargain at 1 penny (fake only please).  
They are each other's best customers.  N's actually gotten L to pay two dollars for questions she needs no answers for,:

"Where's Feather (her invisible cat ) hiding, I can't find her anywhere?!!  "
"She's on top of my head!  One dollar please, " he replies.

"I forgot , Where did Daddy go again"
"He went to work"
"Oh, yeah.." she says, palm to forehead "Now I remember"
"One dollar, please," he says a little too gleefully.

Taking cash only

 Visiting Ms L's room is a different experience.  First she offers you a free pass for your first visit, after that you must pay in fake paper pennies, any size will do.  And when you ask your question she answers in the form of a riddle ala the Sphinx.

Me: "How am I going to pack for my kids super secret adventure, " I ask "when they are home and there's a light bulb out in my daughter's room?  Can I pack in the dark, when they are sleeping"

"Umm...you realize I am one of the kids, right?  Your daughter."  She replies with a slight eye roll (I swear it was there)

I assured her, yes, I was aware she was my daughter.

"Okay, then here's your help  When you are in the dark and all alone you should use 'blank' to help you pack"

"A lantern?"

"Yes!  Please hand over your free pass and have a great day."

As I sit here now the help desks are closed.  (N closed for business when he realized he wasn't getting any $$ from me and Ms L said there were no more free passes for the day)  

Currently the kids are giving each other noogies.... I have a feeling I will be dispensing my own "help" in a few minutes.  

Never a dull moment.
