"What's for dinner Mama?"... How many times have I heard THAT?? It comes right after, "What's for breakfast?.... What's for snack?...I'm hungry!...What's in my lunch?...What's for snack?..." And usually before "What's for dessert?" Hmmmmmmm... So you wanna know what's for dinner, do ya?? "Well, Mama got a new recipe! You're gonna LOVE it! Green bean casserole surprise!!" Uhhhhhhhh... "What?" hehehehe.... "Yeah! Are you starving?" Uhhhhhhhhh... "Wuz the surprise, Mama?" hehehehe..... "Spinach, squash, carrots, brussel sprouts, and just a little peas! That's why they call it casserole. That means all the yummy stuff is baked together!... SURPRISE!!" hehehe... Uhhhhhhhhhh...."WHAT?? Ewwwwwwwwwww. Mama!! No ways!! ... your GROSSSSSSSSS!....What?" hehehehe...I mean, really... if we can't mess with them, then who can?? It's not like we're going to let their friends or foes mess with them! Right? Oh HECKS to the NO!! But Us? Mama's?? Oh, yeah!! I think your feeling me!!
So anyway, we had some fun with vegetables. Well, maybe I had more fun than they did... but, whatever.... Overall I have to admit, my little varmints did really good with veggies. Until they didn't, that is...
Hidden Greens
I wonder if Mom thinks I ate
the peas I hid beneath my plate...
'Cuz last night when she moved my chair
she found my green beans under there
and when I said they must have slipped??...
she served dessert and I was skipped!
Then there was this sweet little inquisitive morsel that came out of Tiffany one night... It isn't exact, but pretty much sums up her sentiments...
Peas Don't Please Me
Yes, I know my manners,
but in cases such as these...
...must I still say "Thank You"
when you're passing me the peas?
And for the finale?? I'm cleaning the kitchen one night and dang it if there isn't something sticking up the disposal. And, here I thought we were doing so good...
Cleaning Off My Plate
Loved the spinach,
loved the carrots,
loved the vegetables...
I'd go back for seconds
if I wasn't quite so full!
Loved the broccoli,
loved the squash,
loved those brussel sprouts...
They're the best I ever had
without a single doubt!
Loved the green beans,
loved the salad,
everything was great...
(the trash compactor said
they were the best it's ever ate!)
Of course I never really made them casserole surprise (well, at least not the vegetable one). But you get the idea! Anyway, what did I get as payback??? Oh, and you know I did! It was a garbage disposal stuffed with artichoke leafs!! ....Ummmmm....Garbage disposal DOWN!!!
Didn't Tiff spit her veggies back into her milk?? That's pretty smart. And all this talk about sneakiness brings back a memory.... One day after dinner, you were sitting at the dining room table catching up with a friend on the phone. It was Tiffany's week to be on kitchen duty. She was trying to impress you and do her duty to a T. Well, when she started cleaning the wooden table with a ruff scrubby pad only used for dishes, I gasped and needless to say.... Mama caught Tiff red handed. I totally just through Tiff under the Bus;) hee hee
ReplyDeleteOh Yea??? Well, I remember when I bought my first new car... Honda Accord, pimped out with s sunroof... and you and your sweet brother woke me up one morning to surprise me....suprise me with the fact you had taken a bucket of water, two brillo pads... and the COMET!! You cleaned mama's car...with COMET and a brillo pad...in the 90 degree weather...Worked so hard you built up a sweat scraping all the paint off of mama's car... Oh, how proud you were for doing a really good thing for mama...
ReplyDeleteDon't even get me started on the gum incident!!! hehehehe
Love you!
