No Caves for Mom

It's the final week before school lets out for a 2-week vacation. The kids are ready for the break, but they're also excited about the classroom parties that will go on this week. Kenneth's class has chosen Mexican food as a theme (what says "Christmas" more than burritos?--hey it's TX). We've been given tortilla chips as the item for which we're responsible. Evelyn's class is a different story, however. The 1st grade has collectively chosen to have a breakfast party. We've been assigned a fruit tray. Sigh. I figure the teachers assign the "responsible" mothers the difficult items. Heck if I'm going to pay HEB for a prepared tray either (they charge mucho $$$$ for those), which means I'll be slicing apples and arranging grapes at 6:30 Thursday morning.

We had the Discover channel on one evening recently...which led to a very amusing comment/observation from Evelyn.

Discovery Narrator: "Caves remain one of the least explored places on earth: at least, by man."
Evelyn: "Yeah, women don't go into caves. At least women like Mom don't."

Rod and I about died laughing. So true though.

That made me laugh out loud. That is a little girl who truly knows her Mom :)
