I Am Such A Nerd

Before I tell you the "I am a nerd" story, let me preface it with this story:

PART I:
At Thanksgiving I had made some sugar cookies for the kids to put frosting on while we were preparing dinner. I was running short on time so I just threw the frosting in an old butter tub and away we went. Later in the evening, my father in law just kept going on and on about how wonderful the rolls were. He just wouldn't quit. Finally he asked his daughter how she got them so sweet. She just kind of looked at him and said, "I just made them the same way I always do." At that point, his girlfriend caught on and asked him, "Which butter did you use?" We all had a good laugh as we figured out that he'd actually been putting frosting on the rolls. I couldn't let him live it down, and kept giving him a hard time.

PART II:
Tonight I had one of those late night pregnancy cravings where I REALLY wanted Macaroni and Cheese and Hot Dogs. I made Daddy go to the store and buy all the stuff. I even made him go back to the store when I'd forgotten to have him get ketchup the first time. Well, he finally gets home with all the stuff, I get it all cooked, and we sit down to eat it. I took one bite of the Mac and Cheese and thought, "Wow, this is really sweet." Yep, I'd used the frosting instead of the butter. But just for the record, it's the first time my kids have actually finished a plate of Mac and Cheese!!! So, yes, I am a nerd!!!
