kids say the darndest things: No. 16

ok, so we're still on a fishing kick...at least it stretched through this weekend since we packed up the whole family and tried to use the leftover bait from daddy and son's foray the other day.

this time everyone (that means kids, not mom...please) took a shot at string in a big one. Bait was flying, hooks were getting caught in tree branches, poles were snapping...but we managed to hang on long enough to hear the youngest in our crew utter these words as he sent out his final cast for the morning

"Eat my bait fishes!"

today is a daddy and son day...they have gone fishing and I stocked them up last night with bags of chips, donuts and the strongly needed bait.

well, my dear son asked me when I was tucking him last night if I and his sisters would not come with he and daddy today since he just wanted to alone with dad.

I responded, "No problem babe, have a great time!"

to which he replied, "Thanks mom, we'll bring you home any of the donuts that we don't eat."

a recent surge in Nutella popularity in the house has the family eating it day and night...even when there isn't much bread to schmear it on. Out of desperation the other day, we swiped it on some old crackers and swallowed it down...but the crackers were a bit stale and we ended up in a quite sticky mess in our mouths.

To which I said, "Well, this is a change of pace!"

To which my son replied, "Yeah, I know...a change of paste!"
