memories

tonight after church we went out to eat with some friends. because there were so many of us, we opted to sit at two tables instead of one big table. kelli and i ended up sitting at the kids table. i told her that i felt like were back in jr. high or high school. back then, whenever mom and dad took someone from the church out to eat or had them over, it was our job to sit with the kids and keep them entertained so the adults could visit. when i said that, ryan leaned over and said, "welcome to my life at the kids table." poor little thing, he's only just beginning!

anyway, tonight was hilarious. the kids we were sitting with ended up entertaining us instead of the other way around. jonah, who's five, kept flirting with the server (in his defense, she was pretty). jared, who's in 3rd grade, kept eyeing my salad. when i got it, he said, "um bethany, could i have a crouton...with a piece of cheese....and tomato...and lettuce?" i bit my lip so i wouldn't laugh out loud and slid my plate over to him. he looked at kelli and explained, "it's okay, we're sharing." i love that boy. jonah and jared's big sister kandra was just mortified.

oh the memories...

Beth, I figured you would not be bored with our kids sitting with you.
I forgot to tell you, Kelli, and Ryan to guard your food when you sit with Jared. Check out my blog to find out what Jared said about sharing your salad. :-)
