Red Fruit Salad Recipe (1)

My boys are funny. They make me laugh out loud at least a dozen times every day. I write every bit of their funnies down so that I never forget a single word of it. My three-year-old Sammy said something yesterday that will likely be in the top 3 of funniest things my boys ever said. If you follow me on Facebook, you know what’s coming.

My camera broke (boo), so I brought it to the repair shop with my boys in tow. The nice gentleman at the counter was writing down my information, and Elijah and Sammy were sitting together in a chair being silly and laughing. Sammy stopped laughing and spoke into the silence, “Mommy, are you going to take your pants off?” ..crickets chirping…. I have to give the man credit because he did not flinch. I shot Sammy a mortified and confused look. Then again, but louder this time, “MOMMY! Are you going to take your pants off?!” Oh my goodness! Where did this come from? What must this man think of me? That removing my pants in public is a common event? “Thank you, ma’am, I will give you a call when your camera is ready.”

As embarrassing as it was, I love it. These are the stories I will be telling to Sammy’s wife someday.

    I asked him, Ed, but he just giggled. Two weeks ago, the four of us were eating out as a family and in the middle of the meal, Sammy said, "Hey Dad, what's the name of the restaurant where you took your pants off?!" I have NO IDEA where he got this idea about removing pants, but apparently he thinks this should be a regular thing. 🙂 Silly boy.
