Sometimes Carter needs to be held and rocked to sleep in the bathroom where it's kinda dark and the floors don't creak. This gives me time to look in the mirror and ask:
"Why won't he go to sleep?"
"Why don't I just lay him in his bed?"
"Why haven't I brushed my hair or my teeth?"
"Why doesn't the laundry put itself away?"
"Who is going to scrub the tub?"
Believe it or not, the mirror doesn't answer me back.
