* Milk. You go through approximately 6 bags a week. That's 6 times 4 Litres = 24 Litres of milk. And we raise beef cattle...maybe we should add a milker.
* The church collection bags goes by the row each Sunday, and the youngest son consistently drops his money in with the arm actions of a crane. And you think nothing of it, because well, that's normal.
* It has been heard at your meal table, "This is suppertime, it is not the time for fart arm guns." You try unsuccessfully to suppress your giggles.
* Decorative sticks. You see them in those magazines. They are strategically placed in a nice pottery vase. The local Christian school benefited from my dreams on this one. I purchased two bundles about 1 metre long at the auction. In boy's worlds...sticks = weapons. 1 metre became an assortment of broken pieces with the average length of 20 cm. The second bundle was donated back to the thrift store.
* Paper towels are considered disposable by the world. In my world, so are socks. And probably pants too. (See previous posts regarding "knees")
* You regularly have text messages with your boys' friends' moms organizing mutual times to play minecraft or tanki.
* "Please don't eat like a gerbil." You say things like that. Regularly.
BUT.....I wouldn't change ANY of this for the world!
