The Twinkies

This headache – not pretty.

One great thing about 2 kids is if you tell them to stay on the lawn and one doesn’t the other will rat the miscreant out immediately.

I just opened up a jar of pickles I made last summer. They’re good. The cucumbers were prodigious and I have pickles everywhere. Still.

If you have socks on your hands it’s hard to open the door. Life lesson of today.

James: I want toast. I’m hungry.

Me: No, this toast is for me. I already made you eggs.

James: But I’m hungry.

Me: Then have a banana.

James: I don’t want a banana. (try to imagine the whining and growing pitch of hysteria here)

Me: Then I guess you will be hungry.

James: No, YOU’LL be hungry.

Me: OK

James: (picks up a banana and throws it across the room)

Me: Go to your room.

James: (hysterical screaming)

- time lapses –

James: (hands me a banana and whimpers. I start the peel. He eats it) Mmmmm.
