There's way too many incidents to list, but two come to mind:
Kristine asked Cameron to strip the sheets off his bed and remake it with clean sheets. So Cameron did as he was asked and took his dirty sheet to the laundry. He then pottered around upstairs until Kristine asked what he was doing.
"Looking for my green sheet," he said. "Where's the green sheet?"
Kris found the white spare sheet but not the green one, and Cam really wanted to the green one. Acting on a hunch, Kris went downstairs and lo-and-behold the green sheet was sitting in the dirty laundry pile where Cam had just taken it.
She went back upstairs and told him.
"Thanks," he said and disappeared. A few minutes later he returned to his room with the green sheet and started putting it on his bed.
"Isn't that the dirty sheet that you just took off?" Kris asked.
"Yeah," was the reply..

============================
The other incident involves the other two children.
Tomas and Alana emerged from their rooms one morning with perfect matching circular bruises on their foreheads. Had they been fighting, I wondered, and scored a double KO? Nope.
They had both received pop-balls for Christmas. The rubber half balls you turn inside out then after a few seconds they pop and jump in the air:

For some reason they had decided to launch them from their foreheads, but since these ones didn't have the air release hole in the top, they suctioned on and gave them the equivalent of a massive forehead hickey after they'd tried it a few times. Fortunately the bruises faded over the weekend and we didn't get hit with any child abuse charges, but you'd think after it got stuck the first time, or when you saw your sibling get it stuck, you would stop.... Good thing we didn't get fireworks for new years...
