Most days, it is all we can do to make it through the day relatively sane and out of CPS scrutiny. It can be hard at times to enjoy, much less remember, the multitude of silly and funny things that the kids say every day. However, some of the gems do tend to stand out, like this one from last night:
The big kids were 'pendin' the night with Mimi and Big Mike, so both boys had a much more open stage at the dinner table and a less divided audience. Well into dinner, I notice Will giving me a very funny look--kinda googly, semi-cross-eyed, with a goofy face that only Will can pull off. I ask him what he's doing, and he responds "I'm giving you my interlastic stare."
Trying not to giggle, I ask Will, "What is an interlastic stare? I've never heard of that."
He continues to goggle at me for a few seconds, then straightens himself up and says with a straight face and (mock) dignity: "I stand correctly."
Needless to say, that is a new Hutton family saying.
