Our home is usually pretty loud when everyone is home & lounging in the living room. Especially when we are getting prepped for a family movie nite.
There was one night in particular when everyone was especially loud. Hubs was getting the DVD ready and talking to me, Fiorella (our 3 yr old) was yelling & insisting we had to watch Dora. Mercedes (our 9yr old) put herself in charge of snacks and was asking if 2 popcorn bags were enough, Sierra (our 11 yr old) was yelling who knows what from downstairs. Then came the infamous popcorn debate.
Mercedes yells out to her dad, asking how long to put the microwave popcorn in for, so I pipe up: 3-3-3
dad yells out: 2-3-3
I yell out: Maybe try 3-0-0
Sierra calls out from the basement stairs: 3-3-2-1-4-9-9
*silence*
Hubs, Merc & I all look at each other in confusion
Fiorella yells out: I said Dora!!
I say again: 3-0-0
Mercedes says: 2-4-5 maybe...
Dad insists: 2-3-3 it will burn at 3-0-0
Fiorella is now counting: 1-2-3-4-5-6-9-7-4-8
Sierra is now on the couch and has been repeating: 3-3-2-1-4-9-9
Mercedes says: I`ll try 2-2-2
microwave is now on
Sierra once again rolls her eyes at us all and says very loudly and slowly: I said 3-3-2-1-4-9-9
We all look at her and hubs asks her: What are you talking about
Sierra says: Our phone number. What are you guys talking about
Dad: Popcorn
We all burst out laughing.
Yup....never a day without a laugh at our home.
