Quips

If you've known me for any amount of time you will know that I adore my kids. Yeah, they can get on my last nerve, but hey...that's their job. I may be biased, but they are pretty smart too, not just brainy-type smart, but funny smart also.

When my boys were in elementary school, their teachers were amazed that my kids understood sarcasm and could dish it out as well. Now, as we all know, you can't teach sarcasm. It is good to see that my kids have some of my genes....lol.

Last week I was explaining to B how to use our bread machine. The order to put things in etc... When I got to the yeast part and told him to make a well in the flour to put it in, he questioned why. To be honest, I'm not sure of the technical answer, but I told him that I think you don't want to mix the yeast in too soon. To that he replied...."Yeah, you don't want premature fermentation..." OMG....I almost fell over laughing.

Then J, a couple years ago, around age 11 quipped during a conversation on diets like Atkins and being a vegetarian etc... "I'm a vegan on the Atkins diet...." Ok, my kids are smart mouths.... ;-)

And I couldn't be prouder...
