A Rosalie and Papaw Funny

Rich and I recently went away for a few days to celebrate our 15th anniversary. We left the children with my Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad came here to our house to stay with them. If you have spent anytime at all reading my blog you must know by now that I am very particular about food. So, I pre made several meals for the children and made a detailed list of what the each child likes to eat and even how to prepare a couple of those things.
Rosalie woke up bright and early Monday morning saying that she was hungry and would like to eat. So, my Dad asked, "What would you like to eat?" She said, "An egg on toast!"
So, my Dad scrambled her up some eggs and put them on top of a piece of toast.
He put it in front of her and she started shaking her head and saying that she did not want those eggs on her toast! A very confused Papaw said, okay, and helped her to get the eggs off of the toast.
Rosalie did eat every bite of what Dad made her and it was fine. When my Dad started telling me the story ... I had a very good laugh and asked him if he even bothered to read the detailed sheet that I left him that had very precise directions for making an egg on toast. We all had a good laugh after that.

You may have guessed that he never looked at the sheet.

You see ... I am my Dad's daughter. I left a menu plan with them, pre-made meals, and a detailed list of what each child likes to eat for lunch and breakfast. My Dad likely would have done the same thing. (only his list would have been much fancier ... probably in spreadsheet form and color coded for each child.)

  2. Happy belated anniversay, Larissa! It's hard to believe that you have been married almost twice as long as me, but our kids are so close in age.
    I'm so happy that you and Rich were able to get away without the kids. Where did you go?

    Penn is looking forward to the day when we can go away for a weekend. Wilhelm is starting to wean himself, but only time will tell how much longer he will go. You know what I recently figured out? In almost 8 years of marriage I have ONLY had 16 months where I haven't been pregnant, nursing or both! Crazy!
