The other night I was getting the kids ready for bed and I'm running solo as the Wife is in the field for three weeks for school reasons so she can graduate sooner rather than later with her new degree.

Gabrielle is usually first and is pretty good managing herself for only being 10. After she showers and gets dressed she comes to the door frame of the kids bathroom where I'm bathing the boys and says to me,

"You can't deny this pantless fury"

And then promptly marches off giggling to herself.

I was speechless and the boys laughed and after I got them out and dried off so they could get dressed I went to find Miss B. She was in her room on her bed reading as she often does and I paused in her doorframe silently still trying to figure out what to say.

Without turning around at all she states,

"I'm going pantless tonight Dad. It's too hot and you're going to have to deal with it."

I jokingly asked,

"And if I demand pants?"

To which she replied,

"Pantless fury Dad. Not gonna happen."

Shortly after I walked away laughing to myself the boys sprung out from their room in PJ shirts and underwear shouting,

"Pantless fury!"

With their arms outstretched and their older sister dying of laugher on her bed I accepted my fate and they all went to bed without PJ bottoms.

Now it's a regular thing. Simply to defy me lol.

Damn kids. Send help.
