Two Random Moments in Time

ONE
Middle Child works at a residential summer camp.  I went up to pick him and one of our neighbor kids up this week and bring them home for their "weekend".  My daughter went with us.

The boys were exhausted when we picked them up.  We were about half an hour into the drive home when Tommy pulled a summer sausage out of his back pack, opened it up, and split it with Matt.

Tommy then proceeded to lean forward in his seat, and offer some sausage to Becca, waving it under her nose.

"Mmm... Becca.  Do you want some?  It's summer sausage.  It's great."

"She's a vegetarian" said Matt from the back seat.

"I know!" laughed Tommy.

Becca proceeded to hit him with her purse...


TWO

We were at a robotics tournament in April.  I was sitting in the lounge with the television along with another mother, Esther, waiting for the rest of the team to get back.  A hockey game was on the television.

I wasn't paying attention to much of anything, and Esther had her head down on the table.  We were both exhausted.

All of a sudden, Esther picked her head up off of the table, looked at the television with a bewildered look on her face and then said "Oh, he said broke his STICK.  That makes a whole lot more sense!"

(True story, I swear!)
