Teaching my children well

The kids were off from school, a free day, YAY! Honey calls and asked us all to come have lunch with him, second YAY! We were vetoed on a semi adult lunch, because Daddy is such a push over, McDonalds won. We pick up Dad and head to the golden arches. Everyone was enjoying their meal and as usual there was plenty of laughter. Apparently, I didn't think there was enough going on at our table. I bit off a piece of my straw paper, chewed it up and tucked it into my straw. (you see where this is going?) While no one was paying attention I dart Honey, right on the CHEEK. (man was it funny) He looks at me with huge eyes and inquires as to what my problem was. lol! My reply, "Nothing, why?" The kids are hysterical and grab for their straw papers. The battle is on. Honey, clearly a bit aggravated with my juvenile behavior but not at all shocked, just shook his head. I peg Michael in the side of the neck. NOW, Daddy thinks it may be a little bit funny. "DUDE, Mommy just nailed you!" I let the kids get a couple launched before I had to put a halt to the war games. I didn't want to completely destroy the local eatery, and YES, I did pick up every spitball we shot. (I'm not completely irresponsible)

I'm thinking next, launching peas and carrot off a spoon in the cafeteria, lol!! This parenting thing is a blast.


Did you know? The first drinking straw was constructed by winding strips of paper around a pencil and gluing it together. The first patent for a wax coated paper drinking straw (made by this spiral winding process) was issued to Marvin C. Stone of Washington, D.C. in 1888. Initially the straws were all hand wound, but in 1906 his Stone Straw Company invented a machine to wind the straws.
