Not a Tough Egg to Crack

I think my kids are trying to torture me.  I haven't quite figured out why or what information they're trying to get out of me, yet, since the only "secret" information I have are theories developed based on my own delusional paranoia from my obsession with the X-Files during my formative years, but I know that they're up to something.  The problem is, that they're so cute and sweet-looking that I'm having a hard time fighting back.  I can totally sympathize with Christopher Robin and his problematic gang of misfits.

I'm pretty sure this is how the conversation went the other night after we put them to bed.  (And, yes, I think Buster can secretly form full, logical sentences).

Little H:  Psst, Buster.  Mom is working late tonight, so I say we get up before 6 tomorrow morning.
Buster:  Do you think you can take this one on your own?  I've had a long day dumping out the toy baskets and ripping apart all of her magazines.  Plus, I got her up at 3:30 last night all by myself.
Little H:  Oh please, you may have gotten her up, but I made sure she stayed up by implying that I would cry and wake up the house if she didn't lay down on the floor with me in my sleeping bag.  Then I proceeded to intermittently hit my head on the bed for the next two hours so she would have to keep moving me.
Buster:  Okay fine, how about this?  If you take tomorrow morning, I'll say "Where's Dada?" continuously in my Elmo voice for the first two hours after I wake up and then follow up with an hour of crying every time I realize that I can't stuff fifteen little cars into the back of my dump truck.
Little H:  Fine, that'll work.  Oh!  Did I tell you that I figured out how to play the Imagination Movers CD on iTunes?  It's going to be awesome.  Now let's get some rest.  Mom will be coming up from her office around midnight so we both need to show up at her bedside at precisely 1:00 a.m. right about the time she's falling asleep.
