Express Mail

When Ian was about 10, and Connor was 5 they were playing in the living room with a leftover box from Christmas.  I was in the kitchen fixing lunch when Ian came in and asked if we had any "Duck" tape. 

Me: Why?

Ian:  I just wanted to tape the box back together.

Me: Be careful with this.

About ten minutes later.

Ian:  Dad, do we have any stamps?

Me:  What do you need stamps for?

Ian:  I want to mail the box.

Me: That would take a lot of stamps, it's a big box.  Out of curiosity, what did you put in it?

Ian:  Nothing.

Me:  (Now in the living room) That's a heavy nothing.  Where's Connor?

(giggles come from inside the box)

Ian:  I was this close.
