Rhetorical questions

“What is the bowl doing on the sofa?”
“Playing!”
“Who are you trying to fool? Bowls don’t play.”
“No, the bowl is not playing. The toy is playing with the bowl.”
“Which toy?”
“Transformer.”
“Please tell your Transformer toy that he is not supposed to play with bowls. If he wants to play, he should play with the other toys.”
“Okay Mamma.”

Two days later.
“What is the bowl doing on the sofa?”
“Playing!”

Since they are not going to start putting the bowl in the sink after polishing off the cheeseballs, maybe I should just stop asking rhetorical questions!
