Quote of the day 7-5-09

While speeding to church this morning, the boys told Matt that he was going to get a ticket. So, I said, "Say a prayer that we don't." Van took me very literally and immediately started saying a prayer outloud:

"Heavenly Father, please bless that we won't get a ticket. And bless that we can have fun speeding."

Love that boy.

Another funny thing that happened today was when Matt and I were discussing our future plans (Clive was in the room). I have been trying to talk Matt into getting his MBA or PhD from Carolina for a while and we were discussing what it would be like to live in student housing with a family, etc. I was saying how great it would be to go to basketball games with the kids and live in the heart of Chapel Hill. Then I told Matt how as long as we lived in a clean place, I didn't mind the size. I guess Clive thought we were going to actually live in the Dean Dome or something because he piped in with, "Yeah, Dad, there's only one dirty basketball court! And, we will live in the clean one!" We asked him which basketball court was dirty and he said, "Duke's!"
We were dying.
