Table Talk

There is a standing tradition in our home...we eat dinner together and say a prayer together. But this is usually where all our allusions of great parenting stop. Tonight was no exception. You see...we have been having a particularly difficult time with Kade and Payton lately ... and their unending desire to make everyone laugh at the table through making bodily noises. We usually let the first offense go with just a warning but the second lands their butts in time-out. Tonight Kade fell victim to the 2-strike policy. Upon returning to the table from timeout:
Dad: "Kade, why did you go to time-out?"
Kade: "Because I burped at the table."
Dad: "What do you say?"
Kade: "Excuse me."
Dad: "I think you should say that you are sorry to the table."
Kade: Immediately looks down at the table and says with a straight
face...you guessed it...
"I am sorry table"

Ahh...I should have known that was coming.
