This conversation could have been heard recently at our dinner table. I have to admit, it is pretty funny.
And, as a side note, I did have some pictures to go with it, BUT the camera broke. Ugh! The miracle fixer upper claims he can fix it. (Secretly, I would really like a new camera. Ok, it's not a secret. I would really like a new camera. The one I currently have is not a great model. It's old. It needs to enter retirement. Yada, Yada. But, my man just HAS to fix. So, bless his heart, I love him to pieces. I will wait patiently while he takes it to his mini work shop downstairs and works yet another miracle. End tangent.)
Ok, back to story.
We sit down to dinner. I had tried a new recipe (Imagine that. Me trying a new recipe.LOL) It was a delicious White Chili. I was enjoying every bite.
Joey breaks the silence, "Mom, I am tired of soup. We eat it all the time. I am never eating soup again when I leave this house."
"It's not soup, Joe, it's chili."
"Mom, it's Soup."
So, thinking I had a great idea to end his complaining, I declared that we take a family vote.
"Everyone who thinks I make soup too often, raise your hand."
I look around the table and see smiles on the faces of everyone. They are all looking down sheepishly. Dave slowly raises his hand. The girls look a little uncertain as to what to do next. Finally, the awkward silence breaks once again.
"Can we have secret ballots?"

HA! Secret ballets to a family vote, now there you go!! Too funny!!
I think this time of year there is nothing better to eat than a hot bowl of chili or homemade soup, then come summer its BBQ on the grill.
Ha! Tracey you can make soup for me anytime and I will be grateful for every single bite.
This is such a funny story...especially since I can see each one of those smiles! :) Personally I could eat soup or chili almost every day in winter. Perhaps it is a Kelly thing?? (Just not veggie soup with hamburger!)
