If only in retrospect, at least!
These past few weeks have been peppered with amusing moments, although a few weren't that funny until looking back on them!
Scene: quick mid-week family dinner at Taco Bell.
Cast of characters: Ernesto, Aidan, Lily and yours truly
Necessary Background information: Lily chews quite noisily, with her mouth open. We are diligently working on this, but to date have been unsuccessful in curbing.
Lily: "I can't wait until I am old enough to go on a date. I think I will date Nesto... Maybe I should marry him." (Insert VERY noisy chomping as she nibbles away at a cinnamon twist"
Aidan: "You know what sis? If you keep chewing like that you won't ever even go on a date. If a boy ever hears you do that, he will just get up and leave you in the restaurant, and be like 'ooh lame!'
I am watching one of my good friends' two children, and getting ready to start dinner. I turned the burner on high, put on the pot of water to heat up and then went to get the crayons for the girls to color. I walk back into the kitchen, and to my horror, there are flames shooting two feet above the stove! I am clearly one to have around in a crisis, because I proceeded to herd the girls out of the kitchen and scream at the top of my lungs, "Ernesto!!! There's a fire, there's a fire!!!!" He had the flames out in under 30 seconds. By this time the boys had come running to see what the commotion was about, and I simply turned and said- Pizza anyone?!
At the very least, I can be assured my life will never be dull!
