random dinner conversation

In spite of all the actually interesting stuff we've been doing lately, I'm going to jot down a funny conversation we had at dinner tonight. We played "2 lies and a truth", where you say two things that are completely bogus - but sound believable, and one thing that's actually true. Everyone else tries to figure out which is the truth. Dalton and Dane's turns were, needless to say, rather entertaining.

Dalton: Today I, um, . . . I went to school and I forgot to wear clothes! I was naked! Then at recess I fell and broke my arm! Um, . . . I did math.

Mom and Dad: Okay Dane, you decide which is true.

Dane: Um, uh. . . you broke your arm?

Dalton (with a self-satisfied laugh): Nope!

Dane: Uh . . . you went to school naked?

Dalton: Nope.

Dane: I know! You did math!

Dalton: You got it!


Then for Dane's turn we weren't sure if he'd get the concept, but here's what he came up with:

Dane: Today I watched tv and had a drink and a snack. Today I watched tv and had a snack and no drink. Today it rained poop.

The truth was that he had a snack and no drink. It was a big deal because I didn't give him a drink with his snack and of course he brought this to my attention. Customer Service here in our house being as accomodating as it is, the situation was shortly rectified.
