Here are a couple laughs for ya

Last month we took the van into get some work done. Since I have to stay at the shop the whole time, I prepared the kids and everyone had little backpacks with books, toys, and snacks. I'm looking like a great mom when we walk in. :) Anna, Jonah, and Sarah go right to the waiting area and settle in. I go to the counter, and Eli follows me. I start talking to the guy behind the counter...a stereotypical service station kinda guy....a little rough, a little dirty, and pants hanging a little low....and little Eli walks up and says, "Do you have a hooker?" The guy leans over the counter to see where the noise is coming from and Eli asks again, "Do you have a hooker?" Thankfully my brain connected to my mouth, and I quickly told Eli that they don't have hooks for his backpack. I wonder how often customers have walked in and asked for a hooker? And then....just so you get a glimpse of how competitive Jonah is....Yesterday he set up a game of Trouble. Do you remember that one? The one you move pieces around a circle and push that annoying, loud popper thing? Anyway, he designated one team as his and one team as Eli's. Eli was nowhere in sight. Jonah plays the game all the way though by himself, and I didn't pay him much attention. When he was done, he came to me in tears because "Eli won the game." Uh....Didn't he notice that Eli wasn't physically present during the game? How do you console someone who lost to himself?
