You Getting Much Wood Offa That?

I have 3 sons who are all in Cub Scouts. They were in the kitchen the other day preparing for the Annual Rainwater Regatta, which is a Cub Scout event that races small sail boats that each Cub has created himself from a block of wood. So, my son's, Josie, Fin and Sean are sanding their toy boats they've carved, dilligently shaping their sleek sailing vessels for the upcoming competition. Nora and Maggie, my daughters are in the adjoining room watching Phineas and Ferb...you know the Disney cartoon...with their dad. After watching the boys for a few minutes, I make a few mental calculations as to how much wood they are removing, and come to the conclusion that my kitchen floor is soon on its way to looking like that of a  sawmill. So, concerned about the amount of wood shavings going on my kitchen floor...I said to the boys:

"Are you getting much wood off that?"

My husband hears me say this, and thinking I am speaking to him, says:

"No, honey...it's Phineas and Ferb, and I don't roll that way".

I nearly cried I was laughing so hard. Of course, the kids had no idea why their parents were laughing so hard at this statement...and that is as it should be!! Although, our 12 year old daughter, Nora Kate, had her suspicions that there was some underlying inuendo there, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. Screw her and her puritanical glare!!

My Dad, great philosopher that he was (lol..), once gave me some wonderful advice: "Marry a man who makes you laugh". I of course looked at him, and said..."so you want me to start trolling the Circus for lonely clowns?". He didn't think this was too funny. At the time, I wondered why...

But I must say that my Dad's advice was good advice. Michael makes me laugh...all the time. He is the man of my dreams, the love of my life, and the laughter in my soul. Even when I am mad at him, he still makes me laugh, despite attempts NOT to!! Just the other day, he came into my office, and after making some seemingly off handed comment I laughed so hard that I spit iced tea all over my desk. I'm still cleaning off the computer keyboard from that zinger!
