Chuck Norris and the Girl Scouts

Jack came to me with a joke the other day, "Mom, did you know that George Washington once kicked a McDonald's so hard it turned into a Wendy's?"

Get it? No, of course you don't because it's supposed to be a Chuck Norris joke not a George Washington joke. But now I get even more of a chuckle out of Chuck Norris jokes when I substitute George Washington in them.

In other news, I decided to give up sweets for Lent. I don't traditionally give up things for Lent. Actually, I don't traditionally give up things at all. So that is one reason why I decided to give up something this year. I am a pretty indulgent person. I know it's such a small thing, but every day it is just a little reminder of the love and worthiness of Christ and His sacrifice. It is also a reminder of the privilege I have to belong to Him. I will say, however, that had I considered the fact that GIRL SCOUT COOKIES COME OUT DURING LENT I might have chosen to give up Diet Coke instead. But as I said, He is worthy.

Since I won't be partaking right now, there will be more Thin Mints for this one to sink her teeth into, now that she has a couple of them poking through...
Things are changing 'round here. Speaking of round, did you know they were going to release a Chuck Norris edition of the game Clue, but the answer always turned out to be "Chuck Norris. In the Library. With a roundhouse kick."
