Friday Night FIRE Night...



Dear Daddy~

We brothers wanted to write you a letter of request. We don't want to hurt your feelings, so we'll just cut to the chase. Tonight, when we make silly popcorn (also known as Jiffy Pop), we feel it would be best if you'll kindly hand the reigns to Mommy. Mommy doesn't start things on fire like you do. Frankly, although we didn't show it, we we a bit scared last week when we saw the flames. Since we have unanimously decided to revoke your corn-popping privileges, we would like to appoint you to a new task of your choosing. You may pick from the following:

Filling our sippy cups with milk

Laying out our sleeping bags

Starting the Friday Night Party Night Movie

We feel these may be simpler ways for you to contribute without placing our family in danger. We hope we haven't been too harsh, Dad. We know you mean well and we hope you understand the reason for this reconfiguration.

With love,
Evan, Luke, Jack, Logan & Wes

Children,

While I appreciate your concern, your daddy was simply trying to teach fire safety. This cannot be taught properly without fire. Next week he will show you how to light the grill...

Watch it, Ryan. I may have to block your comments!

Not to stomp on your party night traditions (which, I love the whole party night idea!), but have you heard of microwave popcorn?

Have a fun night!
