I AM the beef...

Here are two ways two of my kids have flattered me lately:

Will: We were reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar for a bedtime story and we got to the part where the hungry little caterpillar becomes a big fat caterpillar and Will stopped and asked me, "Was he as fat as you?"

Anne: I was getting dressed in my closet when Anne unexpectedly walked in on me and I shrieked and asked, "What are you doing?" She just answered, "Oh, I just came to put Dad's jeans away." She handed me my jeans and left.

Waahh.
