Conversations

Back in the summer of 2008, Eric was laid off along with 250 other boat builder here in the Valley.  As a family we had a crash course in "need vs. want" real quick.  We found that we didn't "need" cable and had it shut off.  Though things are perfectly fine now, we still maintain that mentality and find that cable is among things we don't need.  We watch movies in the evenings and that's about the extent of the ol boob tube.

This past Saturday morning Caitrin had woke up and stumbled onto the couch.

Caitrin: Mom, will you put in a movie for me?
Mom: Nope.  It's "No TV Saturday".
Caitrin: You are so mean!
Mom: I know.  But me being mean only means I love you.  Isn't that right, Tarren?

Tarren's room is right off the living room.  I knew she was trying to wake up and was hearing our conversation.

Tarren: Yea, well.. most of the time.
Mom:  What's that supposed to mean?
Tarren:  All the other times you're just PMS'ing.

The child obviously doesn't know how dangerous those words are.

As for Eric, he had to hold himself back from spitting all his coffee out..
