Just a little laugh from our home to yours. We broke out the egg nog tonight and our kids began talking about whether they remembered it from last year or not and if they liked it. Some of our kids were not sure about this egg nog thing. This is a snippet of that conversation:
Child – “Daddy, what’s egg nog again? I forget.”
Daddy – “It’s where we crack open some eggs and then pour them into your noggin via your nose. Do you remember that?”
Child – “What? I don’t remember that.”
Daddy – “Of course you do. Mommy, someone at the end of the table looks ready for his egg noggin. Do you think you could hold him down while I pour the eggs in his nose?”
Mommy – “Uhh…no, I think I better do the pouring this year since he’s grown bigger.”
All children sit at the table wide-eyed, wondering if we’re really serious. Meanwhile I get up and pull out the real egg nog. There was quite a bit of relief around the table when they saw that carton of egg nog!
I thought the above conversation was funny, but it became even funnier when, for the rest of the night, they kept referring to it as egg noggin. I honestly don’t think they even realized their error, but hey…why not start a new tradition. Egg Noggin anyone?
What a laugh, I love it!
