Conversing

Sometimes the conversations that my family has crack me up. Not necessarily because they contain funny content, but because it's just plain funny how a family can carry on a dinner conversation entirely on (the other night...) ...the amounts of caffeine in a cup of coffee. 

*At the dinner table tonight*

Mom: "Dawson was a great help at the grocery store this morning but he... uh.. he was a bit excited about his upcoming birthday. He was a bit chit-chatty".

Dawson: "Ya I was chittery. Sorry..."

*While reading a Christmas book after dinner*

Dad: "...and then Laura opened her new doll. She had a blue and pink calico dress, and Laura let all the other children play with her. 

Dawson: That was nice.

Mom: *Having almost fallen asleep... sleepily says* "Mmmm... what was nice?"

Dad: She shared her baby doll with the others. 

Joelle: It wasn't a baby doll. Just a doll. There's a difference. 

Everyone: *laughs*

Dad: *Starts reading again* For Christmas breakfast baby Ma made each baby child a baby pancake man... 

Joelle: Daaad... there seriously is a difference.
