"You look like twenty bucks!"

Which isn't too bad considering a light bulb looks like six bucks.

Of the many things our kids are, they are hilarious. The things they say and do just crack my wife and I up. Sometimes we have to do our best to not let them know they are making us laugh, because really, as the responsible adults in the family, we shouldn't encourage some of the behavior that busts us up. Other times we do everything we can to encourage their silliness. Especially now that Meg faces forward in her car seat, the two of them sometimes sit in the back of the minivan having a laughing contest. Their loud, goofy laughing is a lot more palatable than the alternative.

I remember distinctly my second grade teacher telling me that I was a riot. I didn't know what the heck she meant back when I was at Wolf Swamp Elementary School, but my guess is that if our kids inherited some of our sense of humor from us, they will have more than just their second grade teachers thinking they are riots.
