Moment Of Irony

Here is my ironic conversation from last week. I was getting ready to go out for my girls night out to get the much awaited book "Breaking Dawn". Yes, I know. I'm just a glorified teenager.

Anyway, CG had picked up some dinner at the almighty McDonald's for him and the kids since I was going to be going out. He was in the other room assisting my Dad in trying to find the source of the leak that was dripping into the basement and creating much havoc. It's like the house somehow knew that I was going out so it spontaneously started leaking. I was in the kitchen keeping one eye on the girls and one eye on the clock and one eye on my skirt trying to decide if I could get away without ironing it (I couldn't, by the way). That's when I saw that Lolly was dunking a chicken nugget in her caramel sauce, which would not have been a big deal except that Lolly did not get chicken nuggets. CG got chicken nuggets.

So the conversation went a little something like this:

me: "Lolly, what are you doing?!"
Lolly: blank stare in my general direction, pause, then "I'm dipping the chicken in the caramel sauce".....duh...
me: "We don't just take what we want from other people's dinners!".....as I pick up CG's drink and take a big ol' swig.....without asking.....

It's a good thing that I'm the parent and I set such a good example for my children. You can send condolence e-cards to my email and I will pass them on to the girls. At the very least I will show it to them.....at some point.

And, in case all my new and old devoted readers were wondering, I have not forgotten about the giveaway. I'm still just trying to figure out how to do the random drawing part. It will be posted as soon as I can manage that along with a sick baby and cranky toddler and all the other stuff that makes my life so glamorous.

Stay tuned for further information.....
