When Kids Don't Know the Old Way
We went out to eat at Olive Garden last night and the boys got this activity
sheet/menu to do while we waited. It had a cross word puzzle on it and we
were doing it. I was reading the questions and the boys were answering.
Questions like "Spaghetti is a _________." Well, the last question was "Clean your
__________." My boys had no idea what that could be that would deal with food.
I gave them the answer then looked at Jackson, we were both brought up
hearing that phrase every day. I am so glad my boys have never heard it.

Holly Dodd asked me to read this page to her one night, and she said she would have guessed "Clean your hands" would be good advice about eating, and restaurants.
