In an effort to put myself in a better mood, I will share two amusing exchanges with Liam.

This morning on the way to daycare, while listening to the Muppet CD we have only just remembered that we own:

LIAM: I like the Muppets!

A: Me too.

LIAM: So do I!

And yesterday afternoon, while I was in my office looking for something:

[OFFSTAGE SOUND F/X: CRASH!]

A: [pokes head out of office to look at LIAM in the living room] Liam, was that you?

LIAM: [earnestly] No! Maybe it was… the cats?

And the funny thing is that I went into the kitchen and sure enough it had been the cats, knocking over the child gate we use to screen off their litter box. He hadn’t been trying to redirect me away from something he’d done that he didn’t want me to know about, despite delivering the exact answer that would arouse suspicion.
