While I'm traveling for work.....

So....I am in Florida on business this week. My wife is taking care of the kids. Good news though...tonight was "Kids Eat Free" night at Perkins.

Both my kids ate pancakes with sprinkles and whip cream. Although both had the same thing, there were two very different reactions.


First, Ashley:





Who apparently thought my wife was force feeding her liver and onions...not a plateful of sugar.



Then Katelyn:


Who apparently loved the plateful of sugar and was already feeling the effects.

On a different note, I realized tonight why I don't watch the news. In an effort to educate myself about what is going on in the world, I tuned into Larry King.


Tonight they were discussing whether or not the stimulus package is working to save the economy. Now, I would normally find this an intriguing topic. My issue is that is "expert panel of guests" included Tonya Acker, Stephanie Miller, Ben Stein, and Penn (of Penn and Teller).


I am not kidding...let me break that down for you: Someone I have never heard of. Another unknown, although apparently she hosts "The Stephanie Miller Show", a guy who is best known for saying "Bueller" repeatedly in a movie about Ferris' day off, and a magician.


This is why I don't tune in. The expert panel of guests next time will most likely be Fred, Shaggy, Velma and Daphne with special commentary by Scooby Doo.


Because they will learn of current events through conversations and schooling versus watching a TV host that looks like Skeletor....I love my girls.

I'm with Ashley - that just looks awful. But, my kids would agree with Katelyn...yum.

I say Bravo to Kelly for going to Perkins on a Tuesday evening - it is crazy there with all the kids. Retired people don't go to Perkins on a Tuesday!

Don't knock liver and onions. It makes a very good meal and is good for you.
