Take Me Out to the Ballgame

When your son is fanatic about baseball, he might one day pay you the ultimate compliment.   He will hold it back until the perfect situation arises, when this — the highest of compliments — can be appropriately handed out.  And, this past weekend, it happened at my house:

“Mom, if I were describing this breakfast in baseball terms, it would be a walk-off grand slam home run in Game 7 of the World Series, bottom of the ninth, full count, with two outs”.

(And to the rest of us:  homemade waffles with strawberries and whipped cream, with a side of bacon.)

And She Was Right

A lesson learned the hard way this morning:  I’m no longer the Master of the iPod in my own kitchen. 

The morning was crisp and sunny, it’s “Smoothie Friday” in our house, and Seattle is all abuzz about the warm weather coming our way this weekend.  Alas, I had the Mellow Mix going, not a peppy summertime mix.  Without my realizing it, my daughter snatched the remote control, and abruptly changed the song.

Her explanation?  “That song was too sad for a Friday”.  
Man, I love that kid.
