One for the Books!

Every once in a while someone in our household does or says something too funny for words. Last night was one such "once in a while...."

My husband Joel and our daughter Jenna went out to dinner last night, just the two of them, for a special night out together. Later, as he and I were enjoying some quiet time alone after the kids were asleep, he told me of something Jenna had said while they were out.

Jenna had wanted to go to one of her favorite restaurants, Fazoli's, so of course, that's where Dad took her. They had just ordered their food and sat down when Jenna realized she had been given an unusually large portion of spaghetti.

Joel commented to Jenna that the guy in the back making the food had most likely figured that even though she was a little girl, she could probably handle a larger portion of spaghetti.

Jenna responded with all the seriousness of the moment, saying, "I'm not little, I'm mediocre."

"You mean 'medium'?," Dad responded, keeping a straight face.

"Yes. I'm medium," she replied.

And I thought she never listened when I was talking to her brother! We have been talking a lot, lately, about striving for excellence instead of settling for mediocrity.... I guess she picked up just enough of the conversation to be dangerous!

It helps to look for the humor, especially after difficult days like yesterday!
We certainly had a good laugh over this one. Hope you did too!

[Our not so mediocre daughter, Jenna!]
