The Pail of Water

Leon continued his nursery rhyme analysis at bedtime last night.  We had just finished singing "Jack and Jill" when he decided to dissect it.

Leon: How'd he break his crown?
Me: He broke it when he fell down and bonked his head.
Leon: And he had to go to bed? (I think he was mixing in a bit of "It's Raining, It's Pouring")
Me: Yup.  He bonked his head really bad and had to go to bed.
Leon: What happened to the water?
Me: (Huh????  Water?  Oh yeah, the pail of water.) It spilled when he bonked his head.
Leon: (Pauses to think.)  And he went to bed?
Me: Yes.
Leon: When he gets up, he needs a towel.  And a mop!
Me: Does he need to clean up the water?
Leon: (Very serious).  Yes.

Jack will not get out of cleaning duty on Leon's watch, even with a bonked head and broken crown.
