On To Me

This morning the kids begged for tacos for dinner, and I agreed. But when it came time to make dinner and my daughter was jumping all around the kitchen singing, "tacos-yummy-tacos," I said,

I'm sorry, kiddo, I completely forgot. We're having salmon and spinach.

She didn't miss a beat, and the oldest boys didn't even look up. Only the 4-yr-old reacted, and that to smile and assert confidently,

Mom, you're just kidding.

Bah. All the fun's going out of this job.
