Fun House
Into the mouths of babes ...

While driving home one afternoon, I glanced in my child-rear-view mirror to witness my 11-month-old son, Andrew, "snacking" on his toes. He was alternating between his left and right feet, obviously enjoying his "feast."

Well, he must have made his "meal" seem especially tasty because when I peeked in the mirror again, my 4-year-old son, Nicholas, who was sitting next to him, was sucking on Andrew's toes, too!

Needless to say, I raced to the nearest fast food drive through to pick up some french fries for the rest of the drive home.
