Well Okay, As Long As There Are Napkins...

The kids and Brent eat breakfast together every morning: Organic Oatmeal and Juice. This morning Hunter missed breakfast because she came and climbed in bed with me for a little while. After the boys came back upstairs, I overheard this exchange between father and daughter:

H: "Daddy, Carter & I have made plans to play in my room right now but I missed breakfast. So, do you think that I could bring my oatmeal into my room if I bring a bunch of napkins?"

Daddy: "Ummmmm, No. We don't eat in our bedrooms, you can go eat your breakfast in the kitchen and come right back."

H: "Oh, ok."

Hunter ran back to her room where Carter was waiting and Brent and I overheard this conversation between them:

H: "Daddy said "no" about eating my oatmeal in my room."

C: "But, did you tell him about the napkins???!!!"

It makes me laugh to think of them scheming to be able to have their playdate and eat breakfast at the same time. I wish I had overheard the conversation wherein one of them (probably Carter) emphasized the importance of mentioning that there would be napkins involved.

Because that might help their cause.
