From my friend, “Mrs. P.”
Me (to one of my boys who was absent yesterday): Hey Buddy, you feeling better? Or, wait… Were you sick yesterday?
Boy (sighs): Oh, yeah… gas problems…
Me: Well, I’m glad you’re feeling better…
Boy (shakes head, smiling):
Me: Well, I’m glad you’re feeling better…
Boy (shakes head, smiling):
Ohhh, Mrs. P…. our CAR ran OUT of gas!! (Oh… Oops.)
Girl 1: Mrs. P., I really don’t think that weddings should cost so much money. I’m thinking when I get married, for food for everyone, I’ll just order out KFC turkey or chicken and Pizza Hut.
Girl 2: Yeah, I’m thinking more like left-overs at my wedding.
[Her dad is going to want that in writing.]
Just grab a few of these for your guests and you’ll be all set!
Motherhood and Martial Arts 
Glad the boy clarified that, because I don’t think boys ever run out of gas like cars do. and I was all for ordering pizza at my wedding, but the look I was getting from my wife convinced me that other catering arrangements would be more appropriate.

I like the way those kids think regarding the weddings. My daughter wanted her prom dinner to be at Taco Bell. I thought it was hilarious and SO appropriate for her. No one else did. Including her boyfriend. I think it would have been lovely. I say have leftovers at the wedding!!!

Taco Bell would be funny. I would be fine with KFC or pizza. Leftovers would be a bit much. We had to do that for Christmas dinner once, though.
Strange circumstances. It was that or McDonald’s and McDonald’s was closed! 🙂
BTW, prayers, please. Town just north of us on fire!

PIF, I prayed before I started this response.
I pray for everyone’s safety and for these fires to be contained. How terrifying. Please be safe. (That sounds so …. not enough to say.)

Thank you, CM. I can always count on you. The wind shifted and pushed it away from our direction. I’m grateful for my family’s sake, but it’s still such a horrible, scary thing for those still in the path or already affected. And those poor firefighters.

I know that I truly don’t know what everyone is going through. Just what I can get from the news is terrifying enough. I’m so sorry for everyone.

Ha! Love it! Gas–such a boy thing to say. And yep, the dad better get the wedding dinner ideas in writing. KFC would be awesome, I think. I mean, a lot of people have chicken for the reception dinner anyway, right? Might as well make it KFC 🙂
