Chuckles

Our family is a rowdy, noisy bunch at the best of times. Needless to say, on long road trips the conversation flows fast and furious with only a half-hearted attempt to bring auditory peace with music or videos. Our trip to the Cape was no different. Here are some of the conversation fragments that had us chuckling...

Joe: "The thing McDonalds has over a fancy resturant is the wide assortment of dipping sauces."

Savannah: "Do we pass through Africa on the way to Cape Cod?

Nate (singing): "Make new friends, for when you're old. One is silver and the others gold."
Second verse: "Make new friends, with all your gold. One is silver and the others gold."
(I guess "but keep the old" didn't make sense to him.)

Mom: "Joe, perhaps you could write a paper comparing Catniss (Hunger Games) with Lysistrata?"
Joe: "Yeah, cool, Mom. Do you think I can get extra credit for that?"
Mom: "Hmmm, maybe not. Perhaps just some brownie points."
Louisa: "He gets BROWNIES???"

While these had us chuckling, our time with the Peterson's had us laughing so hard that at one point I thought I was going to snort coffee out of my nose. It was a delightful holiday, just what we needed. Hats off especially to Margaret's amazing sugar cookies. Yum.
