Classic Repost: "Raising Boys"

I was doing some blog maintenance last month and found this post that I thought was hysterically funny. I thought I'd bring it forward for one more peek at the humor of being in a home with eight children.

From November 2006:
Tonight's post-dinner conversations...the fine art of cannibalism.
Mangoboy#1: "Dad, if we were cannibals...what part of the body would you eat first?"
Me: "I'd probably start with the hands, because they'd be easy to hold and you could eat them a finger at a time and dip them into ketchup"
Mangoboy#2: "It would probably taste like chicken...everything tastes like chicken."
Mangoboy#3: "Would we eat people like chicken...you know...breasts, thighs, and would their arms/legs be like wings and legs?"
Me again (because I am getting "that look" from Kendra that seems to be asking me how old I am behaving):"Okay...that's enough of this wonderful discussion...let's focus on a better topic."
Mangoboy#3:"If I had to eat you dad, I'd eat your eyes...because they are very wise and have seen a lot of things."
Me again:"Thanks, that's good to know you have my preferred body parts chosen...but this topic is now officially over..."
Mangogirl#1:"If i was a "can of bull" I'd hate to eat dad...I'd rather eat McDonalds."
Me: Launching nose contents as I laugh at my lovely daughters phonetical learning style...

LOVE it!
After reading this, we did our breakfast Bible reading. Today we're in Lamentations. . . talking about mothers eating their children during Babylon's siege of Jerusalem. . . some topics just should not be brought up at meals!!!! yuck!
Oh we still laugh at hearing 'piss on ivy' from your lovely daughter with the phonetical learning style. (Instead of poison ivy.) So funny!
I would eat your brain cause you are soooo smart and funny.
