How about a fried egg in oatmeal.   I did that as I was a youngin and my dad would look at me like I was nuts.  I said you have to try it.  He never would.  I always sat next to my dad at the table and he would always tell me how gross that looked. Well, it wasnt until several years later after I had moved out of the house and we went on vacation together.  We were eating breakfast at some restaurant and I caught him putting his egg in his oatmeal.  I was like Dad!  You said that looked gross.  Come to find out from my mom...dad has been doing that for a long time.  LOL

Marsh you said a bad bad bad bad word...the S-bucks name...shame on you shame shame shame

In all seriousness, I used to work for Starbucks.  I was part of the first crew at a new outlet at a mall near my home.  It was a fun job that helped me to extend my unemployment until I got a better job.  I also actually like their products.  But I have also gone to some really great independents!  But I got to admit that one of the "perks" was working with beautiful women who were quite friendly.  Bummer that I was old enough to be their dad!     

I take it you have never used the phrase "Who's your Daddy!!"

Ok,
I gotta put this in here. My son is 15, 16 on the 25th, but anyway, we were watching inside edition after dinner and they did a story about the woman who spent 1 million dollars on plastic surgery to look like Barbie.
So my son looks at me and says, "I don't know why anyone would spend a million dollars on plastic surgery", and I responded quickly with "yea, me neither". But he continued with his comment "I mean, wouldn't she be afraid that if she fell down or got punched in the chest that plastic shrapnel would pierce a vital organ?".
I stared at him for a few seconds and just busted out laughing. It was one of those that makes your gut hurt from laughing so hard.
I now call him p-shrat when he makes a comment about something. 


Oh and Timj, was always put our eggs in our grits here in the south. You yanks and your oatmeal...lol!

Eggs in grits is about as good as it gets so I really can't knock the oatmeal thing. Doesn't mean I don't want to. Sounds weird. Guess it depends how you like your oatmeal. I must have grits this weekend. Thx

I don't have kids but all my friends do. Quick story: I'm a remote control plane/helicopter enthusiast. It was getting a little stale for a while, didn't touch any of them for almost a year when one of my friend's kids spotted an airplane part and started with the questions. (He's 5)

Long story short, I broke out my electric stunt plane, put it on the ground and just had it kick up some wind. Oh man, he jumped back in disbelieve and excitement. The look on his face was pure joy and bewilderment. In one instant, the reason I fly planes, collect them, build them was summed up into an expression on this boy's face, not words.

My experiences with children are few so this really stuck with me. I lost sight of why I enjoyed my hobby so much and this little guy reminded me in a flash. When I think about it I can't help but smile ear to ear.
