The Dinner Hour
Tonight’s dinner was LOUD as usually with me scrambling to answer questions, dish out food and pay attention to whoever called my name. When things settled down, we shared some jokes. My favorite one was told b Chris (12) and it went like this.
“There was a blonde, a brunette, and a brown headed person.”
I laughed and told him brunette and brown were the same thing.
“Okay, there was a blonde, brunette and a red head and they were in front of a firing squad. The red head said, ‘look, tornado.’ Everyone look and she jumped over the fence. The brunette said, ‘look, a flood.’ They looked and she jumped over the fence. The blonde said, ‘Fire!'”
Pretty cute joke.
Then after dinner, Gracie was running around the kitchen in her brother’s old cleats. She was clomping around and lifting her toes. I asked her what she was doing.
She said, “I’m trying to do Heelys!”
Her three brothers bought Heelys with their Christmas money and wheel around all over the place. She thought since she was wearing her brothers cleats she could do Heely’s as well.
Innocence is adorable…sometimes!
