Chicken Parts........


So we were watching tv the other night and an Olive Garden commercial came on.  They were talking about how they send their chefs to Italy to learn how to authentically cook Italian food in their restaurants.  (right.......)  Anywho, they were talking about how to grill chicken breasts.  Connor askes,"What are chicken breasts?"  Sean replies, "You know, those chicken chests we eat at school for lunch."  A few moments go by and Connor bursts out in a horrified voice with "Oh My God!  You mean I'm eating chicken boobies?!?!?!?!?"  I almost fell out of my chair I was laughing so hard.  Whew!

His reading level complaint.....



So I am driving home with the youngest in the back of the car last night and he pops up with a complaint.  "Mom, I am reading on a 2.4 to 3.4 reading level and I think I'm mature enough to move up to the next level.  My fluency is pretty good and I comprehend what it's all about.  I think I'm being held back!"  I laughed so hard I almost wrecked the car.  Really???  What 2nd grader thinks that way!
