As stressful as life has been lately, we have still found a few, yes...actually a few minutes, of pure joy and laughter. Today dawned cloudy and cool, which was such a nice break from the hot weather we have been having. I don't know about y'all but in our house cool weather means one thing.......break out the HOT CHOCOLATE!
As we prepared for FHE tonight (we are having it tonight because we missed it yesterday) we started talking about our FHE treat (grape popsicles....which actually would have been perfect yesterday because it was nice and HOT....oh well). The conversation went as follows:
Me: "Maybe we should have hot chocolate instead. It is too cold for popsicles."
Gabe: "MMMMmmmmmm. I LOVE HOT CHOCOLATE."
Rob: "Then why don't you marry it?" (really mature of Rob.....I know......he is SO mature)
Gabe: "NO!......We can't marry hot chocolate, Dad. You are just being silly."
Rob (under his breath directed to me): "Watch....he's is going to find some girl named "HOT CHOCOLATE and marry her."
For a second I laughed at his joke but then it hit me.......and it seemed to hit Rob at the same time because he looked up at me with a slightly alarmed look just as I said,
"Man, if Gabe brings home a girl named "HOT CHOCOLATE" we are likely to have a huge problem on our hands."
We had a good long laugh about that.

Don't worry, that's just her stage name.
You guys really are too silly. But that hot chocolate remark of Rob's proves that dads are alike. Ira is always saying that some of my retorts to the kids' comments are "teenagerish". I tell her they are normal. This proves it.
