Giggles

Tonight at dinner Ryan was giving the kids instructions:

Ryan - Fold your arms, and until you hear "Amen", you will keep your eyes closed.
Jeff - What's "a menu".

Later the conversation turned to a recent skirmish between Jeff and Tessa and I just thought what Tessa said was funny, it went something like, "He didn't punch me on the trampoline - he punched me on the swing set!" Who knows why it tickled me but I think I was already giggling from the "menu" comment so I just kept finding them entertaining. But the incident with the punching was funny too, it was a couple of days ago and these are the complaints I heard between sobs and tears;

Tessa - Mom! Jeff punched me in the face! (lip bleeding)
Jeff - (with a completely straight face, he totally bought what he was selling me) Mom! Tessa bit my knuckle! (he had a little bit of Tessa's blood on his knuckle).

Ok... I can just see you cracking up with blood everywhere and kids just looking at you like, "are you serious"?

It wasn't exactly "everywhere" it was a tiny little smear :)

I think Tessa's face just got in the way of Jeff's knuckles. She should really be more considerate.
