Little "Shits"

No...I'm NOT talking about my kids. Yes, turnersaroundthetable IS a reference to all of us Turners that gather around our table several times a day...for games, to eat, to read, to sit, to do schooolwork, etc, etc. However, the title of this inagural blog is NOT a reference to any of those darlings but rather what one of them said this week.

I took the kids out to the big Tyler County Fair on Monday night. We skipped the barn and went directly to the rides. Big kids on big rides. Little kids on little rides. Same ones over and over and over. At 9:00 I left to take Simone and Nadia home to Daddy so they could go to bed. I could not visit the fair without going through the barn, so we made it our last stop of the night. Simone dearly loved the bunnies and the chicks. She thought the horsies were "soooo cute". But, a cow mooed at her--terrifying her and ending the night.

Fast forward 24 hours to all of us sitting down at the table for last night's supper. Dustin asks Simone, "so, what did like best at the fair?" Simone's eyes got wide, and she said "I wuv the whittle shits...the whittle brown shits were sooooo cute". Dustin nearly choked and said, "the WHAT?", to which Simone replied, "the whittle SHITS". Obvious to ME, she is saying that what she liked best at the fair were the LITTLE BROWN CHICKS.

You never know what you might hear with all the turnersaroundthetable.
