Quote of the Day

While you are destroying your mind watching the worthless, brain-rotting drivel on TV, we on the Internet are exchanging, freely and openly, the most uninhibited, intimate and, yes, shocking details about our config.sys settings. ~Dave Barry

Dinner Conversation

Warrick (9):  I know a spider.

Me (19) (shutup):  Did you sit down beside her?

Warrick:  Yes

Me:  You didn't get frightened away?

Warrick:  No.

Huston (8):  (giggles)

Me:  Did you eat your curds and whey?

Huston:  (explodes with hilarity, after trying very hard not to show that he thought his mom said something funny)

Warrick:  Why do you always have to ask all kinds of difficult questions? 

Huston:  Are you Little...uh...haha...Miss...uh...(indecipherable muttering, as he tries to remember the name of the story)

Warrick:  (dead pan look at mom) And I don't have a tuffet.

Emma (4):  Can I have cheese all alone? 

Me:  Yes

Emma:  Really?

Me:  Yes

Emma:  REALLY?

Me:  Yes

Emma:  REALLY?

Me:  Eat the cheese.  My head hurts.

Dalton (7):  (whispers) Donovan, do you want the rest of my food?

Donovan (3):  (shakes head no)

Dalton:  (puts it on Donovan's plate anyway) Here, you can have this.

Donovan:  I DOH HAAAAAN IT!!!!!!!  (Translation:  I don't want it)  (throws everything on his plate away, in case it got contaminated with the things that came from Dalton's plate)

Madilynn (5):  Why do we have to wear pants at dinner, anyway? 

Me:  If you want to take your pants off, just go ahead and get ready for bed.

Madilynn:  But why?

Me:  (rolls eyes because I know how many times a five year old can ask why)

Madilynn:  (asks why a few hundred times)

Emma:  (in an offended tone) Don't eat the mashed potatoes, they taste just like mashed potatoes!

Everyone Else:  GROSS!!!!
