Ever the Hostess

Over the long weekend, neighbors and friends dropped by here and there.

Our house is an open floor plan with the kitchen in the heart. When guests arrive, they are quickly ushered into the living room with full view of the kitchen.

One of the first three questions posed whenever anyone arrives is some variation of "May I offer you something to drink?"

A neighbor came by this morning bearing fresh produce in a bag. As he came through the door, he asked: "Do you like corn?"

Obviously distracted, I could have sworn he said: "Do you like porn?"

Shocked and more than a bit uncertain, I asked him to repeat the question. He did and proffered the bag full of sweet corn. Immediately relieved, I told him what I thought he had said.

We laughed and then he said jokingly: "Well, do you?"

Before I could answer, Sweet One appeared and being her mother's daughter asked: "Would you like something to drink, iced tea or a coke?"

From behind her and on the tail-end of the question, we all heard Wee One chime in: "Beer?"

Never a dull moment.

Thank you for sharing an attractive window into the life of your little moppets and the paroxysms of glee they can provide at a moments notice...

I'm child free by choice but I would SOOOOO order me up one of each of your kids for myself if I could. That wee one is after my own heart. As a matter of fact we just need a Wee One Blog, I mean any kid that offers me a beer is my kind of kid.

Fun
