Jeremiah Reported The Following Conversation:

Kate: Sarah, do you think you'd like to take big-girl gymnastics like me when you're done with swimming lessons?

Sarah: Yeah!

Kate: OK, well, we'll see.

Here's a dialog from the Drueke childhood.
Chris: Look! Paul Bunyan who ate all the onions!
Jeremiah: No. It's Paul Bunyan who ate all the popcorn.
Chris: No, it's onions! (followed by crying)
Dad: Stop it Jeremiah.

A scene from a visit to Castle Rock, MI - circa 1981

Sweet Jesus! Again with the Paul Bunyan!!! Grow up! I repressed that, and most other childhood memories, years ago.

And it's still TOTALLY popcorn.

I reasonably certain it was pancakes, which is exactly what I would have pointed out had I been in your Dad's shoes on this one.

I think we avoided most confrontations (because we're Druekes) by making a wall of pillows between us; thus, avoiding eye contact or contact of any form. Ain't it grand being mid-western!

Michael Phelps is better than Paul Bunyon.

LMP said...

Flapscrap n' me, we're Provosts. We CREATE confrontations.

They weren't pillows, they were couch cushions! Sheesh!

Keith said...

Those aren't pillows!!

The critical mistake here was committed by your dad. He should have said, "Paul Bunyan ate children." and left it at that.
