The Tax Man Cometh

April 15th.  Tax Day.

Me: "Goodnight guys, I'm giving you kisses because I have to go  

downstairs and finish taxes.  Daddy's going to read you stories."

Liam: "What are taxes?"

(Fortunately, Liam had picked out a book [where did this come from??]  

last night on the Christmas story, so an analogy popped right  

into my head.)

Me: "Remember how Mary and Joseph had to go to Bethlehem to pay their  

taxes?  Well today, we don't have to ride a donkey to Bethlehem.   

Mama just has to sit in front of the computer for 15 hours."

Liam: "Oh."

I think I'd rather be riding a donkey 10 months pregnant right now...
