I've read on more than one occasion that family dinners are a great way to build relationships and keep your family intact. I have to say that for us, family dinners are a source of amusement and great stories. Here is a snapshot of the conversation at our dinner table last night.
Emma: I have this dream that I have like once a week. I keep dreaming that I am in heaven waiting for God to find the perfect parents for me. Charlotte is there too and we are best friends -
Charlotte: Yay! We're best friends.
Emma: It took so long for God to find the perfect parents for us.
Kristina: Seriously! We were waiting for a long time.
Emma: Yes, but it was okay because we got the best parents in the world. [Bonus points for Emma!] When I finally came down the chute, I was so happy to have you as my parents.
Charlotte: Yeah, but when you left, I was like waaaahhh, I'm all alone now. Then, I finally got sent down. Before I was born, I was like, aaaaahhh, I'm in the belly of some giant beast. Then, I came out and was like, waaahhh, I can't walk and these people are giant.
Kristina: Geez, Charlotte, thanks a lot.
Charlotte: Well, I didn't know you then. Being born was like an earthquake and everything was so scary. I love you now.
