Carruthers' Corner

Lately Luke has been asking us for "Yucky Germs" when he's hungry. He made this request to our babysitter one day and she had no idea what to do for him. Why would a child whine and cry for something like like this? What he meant was something we bought recently for the kids' breakfasts: Lucky Charms.

I called Grammy Carruthers this morning to leave a message for Garth and we chatted a bit. Somehow Jennifer came up in conversation and she couldn't stop talking about how good of a girl she was. After a few unbearable minutes of this the conversation went as follows:

Grammy: Well she's a little girl I love to please.
Troy: Yeah she's great.
Grammy: Yes........ what happened to you?
Troy: I didn't learn a thing from her I guess.
Grammy: I suppose it's just that you're a boy.
Troy: (I just laughed here)
Grammy: (After her own cute laughter) I just tell the truth.

I didn't bring up Lisa, fearing the worst. I guess bringing Jamie up would have been safe... he's just a boy.
