Overheard EARLY Saturday Morning

Last night, Ric and I went on a "date." It wasn't all that exciting except that we didn't have kids with us - woo hoo! We came home with some things from Home Depot, including four 5-Gallon buckets with lids.

Ryan instantly turned them into "Blue Man Drums." This morning, here's what was heard...

Ryan: Mom, can I use your drumsticks?

Mom: (Too tired to argue because she's been up and down since 3:45am, that's another story) Yes, let me get them.

I hand him two of my marimba mallets, thinking first, that he wouldn't know the difference, and second that it wouldn't be as noisy.

Ryan: No, those are for the marimba! I want your drumsticks!

(I give up.... at least he knows the difference! That's my boy! We'll see how long this lasts until someone gets hurt!)
