In our little world with three growing boys, there's ALWAYS SOMETHING to smile about...
but usually only after we've given the initial blank stare with mouth WIDE open and no words coming out thinking "WHERE in the world did THAT come from!?!"

and then had a few moments to actually think it through...

A Typical Sunday Dinner

I wanted to let you in on some excerpts to one of our "nicer" Sunday dinner conversations...Hope you enjoy it (because I generally end up with my head on the table and my arms over my head).

Child #3:  For my birthday, I want to have a British Party...then I can invite everyone to my "birthday potty".
Child #1:  The British are the ones from France.
Me:  Um...England, maybe.


Husband:  Son, we don't wear socks on our hands at the dinner table.

Child #3:  Chicken....Baahhhh-Haaaaahhhh!

Child #1:  We talked about choosing good music at church today.  Our teacher said there are appropriate times for certain music, like, it would be awkward if you changed the radio station in the middle of the basketball game and all of the sudden the song went from chanting "We Will, We Will" to [click] "Love One Another".

Me:  Why don't I keep a notebook and pencil with me at all times...

Child #2:  Mom, in the Son of Neptune there was a sign that said "Moose Pass"
Me: Oh.
Child #2:  And then there was a sign that said "Moose Pass Gas"
Me:  [Roll eyes]

Husband:  Other son, get your socks OFF your hands, too!!!

Child #2:  You have giGANtic buck teeth!  Mwahahaha...
Child #1:  No I don't!
Child #2:  It looks like you do when you look through your glass like a telescope.

Me:  So what was your favorite part of the day today?
Child #3:  What's for dessert?
Child #1:  [singing hard rock] "I feel like, I feel like..."
Child #2: [singing to aggravate his brother] "...a Child of God"
 
Me:  [exasperated] WHY are all our dinners like this!?!
Husband:  So you have something to blog about...
