Pests

We were eating dinner and the doorbell rang.

John answered it and was gone for a minute or two.

He came back to the table. The kids asked him who it was.

"Oh, just the pest control man."

What did the man want? The kids wanted to know.

"He told me that our neighbors are dealing with some pests and wanted to know if we wanted to have some treatments too."

Imagine wide eyed kids looking at him from their seats at the table ... bugs. Yuck.

John continued, "I told him I wanted to keep all of our pests (aka - the kids)."

He makes me laugh.
