Blog Number 97

Greetings and welcome to today's random thought.

Wednesday nights we take the kids to AWANA.  This starts at 6:30 and so we need to leave at around 6:20.  I don't usually get home from work until around 5:30.  Hence, Wednesday evenings at our house are a little hectic.  Tonight was no different.

I actually did not get home until about 5:50 so that left precious little time for dinner.  The wife had fried up some chicken breasts, baked some potatoes and steamed some corn (am I making you hungry?).  There was only one problem.  The chicken breast was not boneless nor was it skinless.

I prefer my chicken with no bone and no skin (the way God intended it to be).  Whenever I am eating any meat that is still attached to the bone, I feel like some sort of Neanderthal man.  I do not know why this is, but it is.  Now truth be told, my wife did not buy this chicken.  It was purchased by her mother when she was here on a visit and it was on sale (for like $1 / lb.).  Be that as it may, I still don't like it.

So here I am, pressed for time, trying to avoid my primal instincts to grunt while pulling the flesh from the chicken carcass.  My son (who is very much like me) struggles with this as well.  This blog cannot convey the range of facial expressions he had during dinner.  I really feel for the kid.

I survived.  We all got enough to eat and the kids got to AWANA on time.  Unfortunately, we still have (4) more bone in, skin on, chicken breasts in the fridge (grunt, grunt).

Thanks for reading my Random Thoughts.
