As the coals from our barbecue burned down, our hosts passed out marshmallows and long roasting forks.
Just then, two fire trucks roared by, sirens blaring, lights flashing. They stopped at a house right down the block.

They glared at us with looks of disgust.
Suddenly, we realized why.........

Kyle and Justin were about to eat with the baby sitter when 6 year old Kyle said, "You can't sit in Daddy's seat!"

Justin, the 4 year old, quickly piped up,
"If you're the boss, you sit over there in Mommy's chair!"
