ElderChild walked into the kitchen.
She stopped, a few steps into the kitchen... completely bewildered. ...Why was she there?!?
YoungerChild didn't skip a *single* beat (at all!!) and hollered "Senior Moment!" and started to giggle.
I admit... I giggled too.

All The World's A Stage
I'm a "techie". Short-speak for "Theatre Technician". We're the people who run lights and sound, we move props, set pieces, and microphones around on the stage. But we do so very swiftly and clothed in black so that, while you (*sometimes*) notice us, it doesn't quite mentally register, and the production continues on rather magically. We're literally the smoke-and-mirrors.
Tonight I have an evening "call" (tech-speak for "shift-at-work") so I simply dressed in my theatre-"blacks" (all-black-clothing) when I emerged from my shower today. I'm not big on changing my clothes as the day progresses. Upon seeing my attire, ElderChild played the overly-dramatic role of "Have you seen Mom? I haven't seen her in a few hours. Where is she? Where's mom??!" (I'm right there in the room, I'm simply wearing black clothing...). YoungerChild joins-in with "Where's Mommy? She was here a minute ago! Where did she go?" ... and then husband chimes in with an annoyed tone: "Your mother is Right-There. She's only "invisible" if she's on stage!!"
... To which YoungerChild responds "Daddy: All the World's a Stage!!"
