My niece and nephew were here today and one of our activities was making meatballs (or more accurately, making Metalmom’s dinner). I have found that when making meatballs or meatloaf, the kids’ hands work the meat better than I do. (Shut up you pigs!!!)
Mark cracked the egg into the dish while Alex poured in bread crumbs. Then they dug their hands in.
I said,”Okay, hands out so I can add the seasoning.”
No response.
I said, “Hands out of the way, please!”
No response. They were too busy squishing the hell out of the meat.
Finally I said,”Hands up!!”
Mark threw his hands up and yelled, “Alex! Hands up! We’re going to juvey!”
I was so proud that not only did he know what “hands up” meant, but he also knew that he’d end up in juvey for non-compliance!
That’s my boy! Who says I don’t teach the kids useful lessons?

on August 7, 2008 at 4:09 PMWow. I must be an awesome mom. My 8 yr. old knows what “juvey” is, too. Actually, I think it’s on TV somewhere. I’m just impressed that BOYS were cooking.
