Tricks

My mom JUST called to wish Happy Birthday to Joseph and said to give everyone a hug from her. As I hung up, I told the kids that Grandma said to give everyone a hug.

I suddenly had horrified looks on my kids' faces and Daniel started backing away. Nathan raises his eyebrows, holds up his pointer finger and starts waving it in the air, saying, "I know that trick, huh, Daniel."

After I left the room, Nathan confided to Chad (thinking that Chad wouldn't tell me...so much that boy has yet to learn), that the trick is that once you've been trapped in the hug, you also get a kiss. He knows, because Grandma has done that to him before.

Such a nasty trick!
