Family contributions
This morning as I was getting breakfast ready for the kids, I realized that I've continued the fine family tradition of creating a word for food that no one else on earth would use. Here are some examples of how a guy might order breakfast at our house:
"Hot toast" = White bread, lightly toasted, crusts cut off (also called "peels") with creamy peanut butter and a light application of non-dairy butter.
"Hot toast, not hot, just like that" = Soft white bread, peels cut off with creamy peanut butter. Can also be folded in half, but only if a guy wants it that way that day.
"Cold toast" = Same as "hot toast just like that"
Also, as the short order cook (me) is preparing the breakfast, this song may be sung (to the tune of "The Banana Boat Song", Day-O portion)
Hot toast!
Hot toast!
Daylight come and me want hot toast!
Now that's just embarrassing to admit. But, if you're ever at our house and order one of the three options listed above, that doesn't mean I won't sing it for you. Because I totally will.

You know what is awesome? Putting jelly and/or peanut butter on the crust (or "peel") and rolling it up. Tell Martin and Sophie they're the world's smallest donuts.

That's a really good idea. I'll try it.
Our other idea was to put the peels on the deck and watch the squirrels come get them. That is, until Marty said some unwarranted comments about it looking tacky. I mean, it's not like I LOVE squirrels or anything... just looking for some entertainment. Now, if I was trying to attract pigeons, that would be trashy. They are filthy and vile. Squirrels have a slightly lower score on the trash factor.
