But you know, you could easily take the drama out of this situation by immediately choosing the restaurant nearby the very first time the question is asked and going to get your keys etc. Since you already know the football will be pulled, fake her out. Run at it, but don't kick; just keep running!<br /><br />And then let us know how that goes.

My kids love to have french toast or waffles (real one, I have a waffle maker) or pancakes, with sausage, bacon or eggs, sometimes all of these, for supper. There is just something about having a traditional food from a different meal for dinner that amuses the kids.mommeeof10https://www.blogger.com/profile/03611832953435781430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8117339092748057578.post-89322804691487460392010-08-15T20:29:01.678-05:002010-08-15T20:29:01.678-05:00@Heather - That would be fine.
