Things my 13 year old said to me this morning while I took him step-by-step through the process of preparing dinner:

13: Do I have to touch the raw chicken with my hands?

Me: No, it will leap into the pot all by itself. You’re just there to watch.

13: Do I put the chicken IN the crockpot?

Me: No, place it AROUND the pot. It cooks better that way.

This may have made my day.

Scene: Dylan(7) & I driving home in the car last night.

DYLAN: “Look! Mom! It’s a full moon.”

ME: “Oh, yes it is.”

DYLAN: “Can I put down the window?”

ME: “Sure.” It was freakishly warm here last night.

DYLAN: hands gripping window that is 1/2 down, face turned toward moon “Wooo, wooo, awooooooooooo. Wooo, wooo, awoooooooooo.”

ME: “Are you being a werewolf?”

DYLAN: smug, and happy “Yes. Wooooooooooo, wooooooo, awoooooooooooooooooooooooo”

several minutes later

ME: “Can you roll up the window now? I think we’ve had enough howling.”

DYLAN: “One more. Woooooo, woooooo, awooooooooooooooooooooooo…”

If you happened to be driving south on 590 in Rochester, NY last night around 8:30 and saw a child sticking his face up to an open window and howling? Yes, that was us. And yes, this was on a highway with cars zooming by his opened window. I may have been laughing. And I may have been the tiniest bit embarrassed. Shocking, I know.
