Tall Tales

This blog was inappropriately titled because what I thought was quite a story – turned out to be close to the truth.?? Except for the part about Grandma encouraging theft.

Yesterday Ty brings me a very elegant butter knife from the silverware drawer.

Ty:?? Mama.?? I took this from Michelle’s wedding.?? I liked it and Grandma said that I could take it home.

Mom:?? Ty – you didn’t take that.?? It’s mommy’s butter knife from a mismatched set but where are you coming up with such a story because I am sure your Grandma didn’t say you could steal the silverware from the wedding.

Ty:?? SHE DID!?? And so I just took it home.

My first conclusion was that Ty had seen a fancy butter knife that reminded him of the elegant silverware at the wedding so he concocted a fanciful tale.?? Later though, Tanner weighed in and told me that Grandma really DID say that Ty could just take it and that wasn’t right because no one should steal from restaurants (or Country Club’s as it was).?? And I am sure you wondered why Ty wanted a butter knife in the first place.?? He loves butter.?? LOVES it.?? He asks for everything else as a side to the BUTTER.

Giggling I call Grandma.?? Very curious to know what she had to say for herself about this.?? Turns out the conversation about the butter knife did take place but Grandma has no recollection of giving Ty permission to make it part of his own personal collection.?? :)?? Who should I believe LOL??? Grandma is a bit concerned that she may have agreed to something that she really never heard.?? Happens to me with Ty all the time.?? The kid just wears you down with his questions until you can’t think straight anymore.?? I actually dreamed last night that I was a terrible parent because I gave permission to Tanner to DRIVE my car to the store to pick up stuff for us.?? Who is really in control around here – me or them????? Highly questionable some days.

Speaking of Grandma…anyone happen to see her on Good Morning Arizona yesterday??? Both she and my Father in Law had some air time.?? He for golf thoughts and she for her faux painting business.?? You can still see the clip here:?? http://www.azfamily.com/video/gmaz-index.html?nvid=335832&shu=1

Dusty called mom and he caught a seven foot fish (sailfish I think) in Mexico and Michelle caught a few 2 to 3 foot long Barracudas this week.?? Not sure what Michelle thinks but I am sure that was a trip highlight for my brother.?? :)??

  1. Oh Doni that is too funny. How did he manage to get it home? Ty, Ty, Ty! Truly never a dull moment:). Sara, I LOVE the metalic faux painting, that is SO cool. I could never do it, but you make it look amazing! You & Peter are so cute:).

    PS – Doni, love the one of Tanner & Tori, SO adorable.

  2. Just for accuracy, Dustin did catch a 7′ sailfish and Michelle caught 2 Five foot Baraccuda’s. For the record, Michelle probably would have gone fishing without him, she actually likes to fish….well, that was BEFORE the wedding, who know for sure now. Dee used to Duck Hunt with me before we were married. She has gone ONCE since. It was my birthday and she sat in the car. I’m beginning to think she filled her tag and sees no need to continue to hunt, but I could be wrong.
