Flying Mac and Cheese - A Nice Break From The Realities of CID "Lawyering"
Sometimes its nice to get a glimpse of real life fun, even if you are a lawyer. I just felt like sharing this....
Ever gone out to dinner with your 1 and 3 year old grandkids on the night just before a meeting with a Board of Directors? All dressed up? I like spending as much time with children and grandchildren as I can, so if I have an evening meeting close to where they live, I try to meet up with my daughter and son-in-law and the kids for a quick dinner. Here's how it goes, flying mac and cheese while being serenaded by the song most recently learned by my grandson in preschool (tonight it was Happy Birthday). Sticky fingers, sticky faces and sticky kisses. Spoons flying every which way (with mac and cheese flying, dropping and some of it even making it into the mouth). A mad grab to get the salt and pepper, then the ketchup, then the menus, knives, forks and the other condiments out of reach just before the grab, first from one child at one end of the table, then from the other at the other end of the table. A game of 52 packet pickup with the sweetner packets. Broken crayons squashed into the top of the table and on the floor. And big bear hugs on the way out. My advice: take your rain poncho along! And come early, come often........
