Vices

A little while ago, we took a short trip to town. Snoring Daddy had a craving for some snacky foods and stopped to go into the convenience store while the kids and I waited in the car.

I swear I spend 25% of my life sitting in the car with the kids waiting on that man.

Anyway, when he came back out he had a can of shredded beef jerkey and a bag of corn nuts and some a couple of scratcher lottery tickets.

The 3.5 year old asked, “What do you have daddy?”

Snoring Daddy replied, “Vices.”

The 5 year old asked, “What are vices?”

I replied, “Bad habits.”

How else do you explain what vices are to children who have no business knowing what a vice is?

And the 3.5 year old asked ever–so–sweetly, “Can I have some bad habits?”

    Look at it this way, those are a lot better vices than he COULD have. I’m a beef jerky girl on road trips for some reason…that’s the only time I eat the stuff. HA!

  • Corgimom says:

    Shredded beef jerky AND corn nuts??? Jeez, I want some bad habits, too!
    Oh. Right. I already have too many. Sigh.

    Thanks for the laugh and remember this when your 3.5 year old no longer asks for bad habits and just develops them!
