Two Short Stories

Landen, our two year old, usually spends Wednesday, Wednesday night and Thursday at his Grandma and Grandpa's. During our evening without "the Buddy." Kristi and I make it a point to spend some time focusing on our seven year old twin daughters, Kylee and Makenna. We usually head to LaFogata or Mancino's for supper. I love these evenings.

During the past few weeks we've had a couple of good family laughs during these meals. You probably "had to be there" for these, but here goes anyway.

At Mancino's the four of us share two of the daily specials; a turkey grinder and a pop. A few weeks ago Kylee and Makenna were sitting across from us sharing their pop, each sucking through their own straw at the same time. Kristi said, "Take it easy girls. . . you're starting to look like conjoined twins." After a few seconds, I added, "Yeah, joined at the cup." This tickled both of the girls, and soon, Kylee's pop was dripping out of her nose, which made the event even funnier.


Last Wednesday we were back at Mancio's. Kristi noticed they had a "Now Hiring" sign posted. I said, "That's something you don't see very often in Nappanee right now." Makenna then added, "Yeah, it's usually 'Now Firing." Not bad for a seven year old.
