In Which Berry Boy Exasperates His Mother (again)....
Berry boy is sitting, feet propped up on the dining room table, dusting off the toast crumbs from his legs.
Me, with my sternest mother look and voice - "what, were you born in a barn?"
Berry Boy looks at me blankly (apparently, I have never used this expression with him)
Me - "get your feet off the table - we don't put our feet on the table in the house"
(Berry Baby, who feels the need to insert his own two cents, blows a raspberry with pureed squash in his mouth, thus spraying pureed squash about two feet across the table)
Berry Boy, still confused - "Only in the barn?"
Me (trying to keep the look of complete exasperation off my face) - "Yes, only in the barn" (we do not HAVE any such barn...)
I love family life :)

"Flailing and thrashing, Buttercup wept and tossed and paced and wept some more, and there have been three great cases of jealousy since David of Galilee was first afflicted with the emotion when he could no longer stand the fact that his neighbor Saul's cactus outshone his own. (Originally, jealousy pertained solely to plants, other people's cactus or ginkgoes, or later, when there was grass, grass, which is why, even to this day, we say that someone is green with jealousy.) Buttercup's case rated a close fourth on the all-time list." - The Princess Bride

I just spewed coffee onto my monitor. That is so.... typically you and Berry Boy. I could literally "hear" your voices. What a riot. Yes, theoretically, if you had a table in your barn, you could put your feet on it Berry Buddy. You crack me up. I'm glad I get to watch you grow up and have you for my prairie boy's bud.
LOL - eeexcellent :) That was the effect I was hoping for (hah!)
I can't help being blown away by the princess bride quote. You, my cultured friend, have many surprised hidden beneath that perfect exterior. Too funny.
