Tonight we were at dinner - literally 5 minutes ago. This is the conversation that we have...
Twerp #1: "Can I be done with dinner?"
Dad: "Eat a couple more bites."
Twerp #1: "How many is a couple?"
Dad: "15"
Mom: "Actually, a couple means two."
Cousin: "Yeah, a couple means two."
Dad: "When Mom says she'll be there in a couple of minutes, is she ever there in just two?"
Twerp #1: "No. I'll eat 15"
Oops. I guess I need to be more accurate when I tell my kids I'll be there in a couple of minutes. I'll also have to think of something that Stephen does and tease him mercilessly for a "couple" of weeks!

that is one of those classic Margala exchanges that I don't get to hear on a daily basis anymore... sad!
the fun part is that I could totally hear you're voices and tones of voices as I read that to myself... hahaha
