Brief snippets of life at home

[drwex]

I'm ignoring all the shoveling and the tantrums and the fighting to bring you these two moments.

This morning the boys were engaged in a game in which one calls and the other responds:
L: You're terminally weird!
K: No, just misunderstood.

(No idea where THAT came from.)

Last night there was fire in the fireplace, and the boys and I cooked hot dogs on sticks over the fire.

After hot dogs there were marshmallows. The boys showed me how they liked to set theirs on fire. I showed them how I liked to brown mine carefully all around and 'skin' it. After careful comparison, mine was declared the superior method.

Guess the old man still has a trick or two to show. *grin*

I scorn those who voluntarily set their 'shmallows on fire. Golden-brown all over is the way to go. But I don't skin mine: I like the crisp, caramelized outside.
