The things we talk about around the dinner table...

(Background to the conversation) Every Friday night is our date night. We have five kids, so babysitting is not something we can afford very often. Our date nights happen after the kids are in bed. They still go to bed at 9pm just like on a school night, and then D and I will watch a video we rented or a TV series on DVD, or we will play board games, eat a late dinner, paint watercolors or ceramics, etc.
Tonight I had made deep fried zucchini and fried mozzarella cheese sticks to go with dinner. I mentioned to D that the cheese sticks and some fried shrimp and other appetizers would be good date night fare. #1 whimpered because he loves all those foods.
D: You can have those for your date nights when you grow up.
#1: (incoherent noises that translate to YUCK, and some squirming around.)
Me: Yeah, you can have a date night when you grow up, get married and want to spend some time with your honey bun.
#1: (More tortured sounds)
D: Yeah, you can sit on the couch and kiss...or you can kiss in the kitchen...
#1: (Frantically tortured sounds)
Me: And then your kids will say EEeeeeewwwww! Gross! Yuck Dad!
#2: Yeah, you could make a tape of you kissing, and when your kids are bad you can make them watch it. You can tie their hands behind their backs...
Me: (interrupting) Um, that would be illegal. If it wasn't we would have tried it by now.
#2: Moooom!
The conversation moves on. A few minutes go by and #3 asks if we have any Gorilla Glue.
Me: No.
#2: What is Gorilla Glue?
#1: Its super glue!
Me: Gorilla is a brand of glue.
#3: Is it illegal to glue a kid to the floor?
And here I thought we were having a totally new conversation!
