I gaze down at my children's guilty faces with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

"What happened here?"

Ever the responsible older brother, Edward tries to explain. "Dad told us a new story and we were acting it out."

"We were coyotes!" his three-year-old sister adds excitedly.

Edward frowns at her from his superior six-year-old height. "Not coyotes, Alice. Key-oh-tee."

"That still doesn't explain this," I gesture at the mangled garden ornament.

Edward looks down bashfully.

"We were tilting at windmills," he mutters.

I turn my head away as I try not to laugh.
