My father collects all of his change for the year and gives it to the boys on their birthdays. He brought out his stash of change this year, and Jonny exclaimed, "Holy Abalone, that's a lot of cash!"
Robert had a dish of whole dried plums, and I saw that Jonathan was eating one. I told Robert, "That was certainly nice of you to share your snack with Brother." He said, "I didn't give him one--he helped himself." I went over and looked in the bowl--there was one left. "How many did he take?" I asked. I realized that was a stupid question and started taking the plums out of Jonny's mouth. One, two, three, four were pulled out, just like the magicians' scarf trick.
I didn't realize that, along with every contagious disease that comes down the pike, that I would also catch the dreaded scourge of whining. I was at the doctor's office yesterday, loaded down with sweet little baby, when the receptionist handed me a three page document to fill out. "Do I have to do it now?" I whined.
Robert has started many clubs over the years, including the infamous "Butt Club". That club is for anyone who says that particular word . It's very popular with the under 6 crowd, who think the word "butt" is hilarious. His latest is the "No Adults Allowed Club". I asked him who was eligable to join the club, and he said, "Anyone who goes to our church who is under 30."
