The Inspiration

We were visiting my parents and my grandmother was there. As we were leaving to head home, our 5-year-old kept hugging his great-grandmother over and over and telling her, "I just can't stop hugging you!" My grandmother was loving it! After a couple of minutes of this, we were finally able to convince him to join us in the car to leave. Giving her one last squeeze, he said to his great-grandmother, "Bye! Call me when you die!"

This is our inspiration. The truly hilarious, way-better-than-fiction, actual sayings and experiences with the wee little folk around us is what this blog is all about. We invite you to share the joy!

Irregular

Souplantation (in some parts of the country called Sweet Tomatoes) has become our favorite restaurant, especially since we usually have coupons that make it very affordable.  The staff there over the past few years has gotten to know us.  As we were sitting there eating on one particular occasion a little while ago, one of the assistant managers came by, said hi, and dropped off a stack of coupons at our table.  We appreciatively said thank you.  After she left, our 9 year old asked:


"Why did she do that?  Is it because we are Normals?"  Utterly confused, my wife and I asked, "What are you talking about?" She said, "You know, because we normally come here?"  Just like the pants, it hit me:


"Oh, you mean Regulars!" Yup, that's it!  You've gotta love upper level developing language skills!
