Always Off My Guard

"DAAAAAaaaaaaAAAAAaaaaaaad?"

5-year old Wulf, Jr. was yelling at the top of his lungs from the opposite end of the house. His little sister was asleep. He knows better. I quick-timed it to the back bathroom and snapped at him.

"What is your problem? Your sister is sleeping - why are you yelling all through the house?"

The boy looked up innocently from the toilet and said, "Well, you see, I have too much energy..."

How can I do anything but laugh?
