The darn thing

During a recent driving trip there was a fly trapped in our car. It kept buzzing around us, and finally landed on the driver's side window. Craig was driving, and, not taking his eyes off the road, he reached for the button to lower the window. Unfortunately he couldn't locate the button quickly enough, and the fly buzzed off to another part of the car.

"Aarrgh!" Craig said in frustration. "I couldn't find the darn thing!"

Isaac thought this was pretty interesting. "Daddy couldn't find the darn thing," he said several times. Then, perhaps in solidarity, he said, "Isaac can't find the darn thing."

Isaac continued to repeat these two phrases for a few minutes, while Craig and I tried to keep our laughter fairly quiet.

But then we heard Isaac say, "Mama knows where the darn thing is."
