Sometimes I say things just to be funny and my kids take me completely seriously.
I brought home a box of twinkies from the store and the kids asked me what they were for. I told them they were decorations for the Chrsitmas tree. The next thing I know they are hung (evenly--not all in a clump) on the tree and then guarded zealously.
"Those are not to eat! They are for the Christmas Tree!"
Any suggestions on what I should bring home next?
