Caleb: Mommy, the conductor told me to go upstairs.
(He and Colin were playing "The Polar Express")
Mommy: No, you may not. Benjamin is sleeping and I don't want him to wake.
Caleb: But I need to! The conductor told me to!
Mommy: No. We can't wake Benjamin.
Caleb: But I will tiptoe! I'll be quiet as a mouse!
(I grin at such a cute and earnest response.)
Mommy: Okay then.
Caleb bent his back in a crouch and started tiptoeing right from that spot in the living room, creeping forward ever so slowly.
