Justin

Just a few moments with Justin today that I would like to remember:

• Today while I was making lunch (cantelope and chocolate chip pancakes), Justin was changing the boys out of their church clothes. Koyle was screaming and carrying on as he usually does. The kid hates to get his clothes or diapers changed. I overheard the following conversation between Justin and Koyle:

J: Koyle, get over it. You have to get dressed every day of your life.
K: still crying
J: Seriously, you have to get dressed every day. Except for your honeymoon. Then you can stay naked all day if you want. But other than that you have to get dressed
K: still crying

Awesome honey! Good thing he doesn't understand yet. But seriously, I love the way Justin talks to the boys. He is always so matter of fact and honesty. It always makes me smile.

• Then at lunch we were happily eating our pancakes with peanut butter and chocolate chips when Justin had this conversation with Matthew

J: Matthew, when is your mother...
M: Are you talking to me?
J: Yes, I am
M: Why?
J: Because I am sabotaging your mother. So Matthew, when is your mother going to learn that some things are just better without chocolate chips in them?

This is when I entered the conversation:
  C: Seriously? They are chocolate chip pancakes. You are the only person I know who complains about their wife making them eat chocolate chip pancakes.
J: I'm just saying, I like my food plain.
C: They are chocolate chip pancakes!
J: I just always tell you to make some without chocolate in them for me. You finally learned to do that with your zucchini bread.....

I will end the dialog there. Yet another reason why I love Justin. He can always make me laugh. And yes folks, he was being serious. He really prefers plain food and doesn't appreciate chocolate as much as I do. Makes my job as cook pretty easy.
