La Dolce Vita

• Monday, February 19, 2007 - Funny Boy

One of the hallmarks of my boy's character is his sense of humor. He never fails to take full advantage of a moment to make people laugh, even if they are laughing at him. Tonight we had a family staple meal, Gourmet Joe's, that is a scramble of hamburger, spinach, and eggs. It is served with vinegar. My boy decided he wanted to eat vinegar all by itself. So my husband obliged him by giving him a teaspoon of straight distilled vinegar. The crazy boy sucked it down, and then rapidly contorted his flushed face as he experienced the tartness of the vinegar. Of course, the rest of the family thoroughly enjoyed his little show. After he regrouped and got some water, he "offered" to do the whole thing again if we would pay him, since we enjoyed it the first tiime so much. Naturally, we declined. I do think, however, that my boy is going to be the kid at junior high or high school camp who will volunteer to eat gross things to earn points for his team.
