I was helping my daughter study last night. I parked myself on the ground, next to her bed and started quizzing her. For some odd reason, she decided my leg would be a good resting place for her head. She plopped it down on my shin.
"Ow!" she complained. "Mom, what the heck? Why is your leg so hard?"
"It's called a bone. You clunked your head on my bone."
She made a face. "My legs aren't like that. I have some meat on my bones! You're too skinny!" She grabbed my leg. "Look, Mom. You're nothing but a skeleton!"
I laughed. "No, I'm not. But if you think so, then what do you recommend I do about it?"
"Eat more ice cream!"
(Now that's something I can live with!)
A skeleton mom.. that would be the first ....
ReplyDeleteMaybe I belong in a Halloween book!
Deletehahaha i love it---you have a couple of wonderful excuses for a lot of ice-cream---what could be better!!
ReplyDeleteI think I'll add chocolate to that, too!
DeleteExcellent solution. I admire your daughter.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
She always has the right answers!
DeleteCan't argue with that logic!
ReplyDeleteI'm not arguing, either. I'm heading straight for the freezer!
DeleteA good excuse to chow down on the ice cream
ReplyDeleteIt's the perfect excuse!
DeleteSounds like a great plan to me!
ReplyDeleteAny excuse to eat ice cream!
DeleteAnd how about some chocolate while you're at it?
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly!
DeleteShe had a good suggestion and you could put all kinds of things on your ice cream like whipped cream, sprinkles, coconut... The possibilities are endless.
ReplyDeleteAlways good advice!
ReplyDeleteEat more ice cream. Very good advice.
ReplyDeleteThat's something I still want to learn to make at home, ice cream. Have you seen the costs lately, and how small the containers are. AND, some of them aren't even real ice cream. Ugh.
I adore Ice cream When in the US yours seemed to be more tastier than ours.
