When we go to the bagel place, everyone stays as far away from Sonny as possible.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>The kid is just a total disaster when it comes to cream cheese.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>One time, after he took Sonny to the bagel place, Hubby found cream cheese in his EAR \u2013 not Sonny\u2019s ear, HUBBY\u2019S ear \u2013 and Hubby hadn\u2019t even been eating anything WITH cream cheese\u2026but Sonny had.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>It was a freshly toasted bagel that day and everyone knows that warm bagels make the cream cheese particularly gooey and more likely to get into other people\u2019s ears.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Why all the chit-chat about cheesy ears?<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>Well last time we were at the bagel place, Sissy, Hubby and I were huddled across the table from Sonny while we all enjoyed our breakfast on the restaurant\u2019s patio.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>A school bus went by and Sonny was the only one who could see it from his side of the table.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>This prompted him to ask why a school bus was out and about on a Saturday morning?!<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We explained how it was probably a school sports team going to an away game.<\/span><\/p>\n

[Disclaimer: My kids don\u2019t ride the school bus to away games.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>They are driven there by their chauffeur.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>The chauffeur drives a 12-year-old completely totaled minivan and isn\u2019t very nice on the mornings when she\u2019s driving to away games.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>Also her hair is pretty messy at that time of day.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>We\u2019re considering firing her.]<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This caused Sonny to begin speculating on how most kids get to school \u2013 by bus or by car?<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

[Disclaimer: My kids don\u2019t ride the school bus to school either.<\/span>\u00a0 They are driven to school by their chauffeur.\u00a0 The chauffeur drives a 12-year-old completely totaled minivan and isn\u2019t very nice in the morning.\u00a0 Also her hair is pretty messy at that time of day.\u00a0 We\u2019re considering firing her.]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I explained that he and his sister were probably an exception going to school in a car because most kids go to school by bus.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>But I further explained that when I was his age, I actually took a train to my school.<\/span>\u00a0 My school\u00a0<\/span>was named Hogwarts.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And then I busted out laughing because that was completely funny.<\/span><\/p>\n

At which point Hubby leaned into the table and said in a serious voice, \u201cKids.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>It\u2019s time we told you.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>Mom\u2019s name is actually Sherry.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>Sherry Potter.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And then he starts laughing like a loon too.<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s frickin\u2019 funny.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Anyway, that\u2019s all I wanted to tell you. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>That I\u2019m funny and I married a funny man.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>And I went to Hogwarts when I was younger.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>And in addition to being funny, I\u2019m magical.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>My specialty is magical disguise.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>I can disguise myself as a grumpy, messy-haired chauffeur.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>I hope I don\u2019t get fired.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
