Eccentrics

It is the eccentric habits of my children that can either drive me crazy one day and amuse me the next.

Had I known when registering my wedding china ages ago, that my future child Thomas
would require 4 knives when I make his peanut butter honey sandwich. 
One knife for spreading the peanut butter. 
One knife for spreading the honey. 
One knife for cutting the crusts off. 
The final knife for cutting the sandwich into two triangles.

And if he wants another sandwich, no problem. 
Just get me 4 more clean knives.

Elle requires 2 spoons for each cup of yogurt. 
If she wants another cup, that's 4 spoons.

Or even the occasional occasion as Thomas requires two spoons for his ice cream:



I wish I had known this when registering for wedding china and silverware. Instead of 12 place settings each of Wedgewood, Lynn Chase and Haviland and the fancy silverware, I instead would have chosen a lifetime supply of the unbreakable, tacky, cannot believe parents buy it; Sponge Bob, Dora, Superfriends, Batman, Cinderella plates, cups and flatware etc.  I am proud to say I have a drawer and cabinet full of them.

Like I said, had I known back then what I know now...
