Tween tales

The end began when we discovered the children's menu at Outback is for kids under 10 years old. Then, we went to Joe's Crab Shack last week and even though their children's menu is for kids ages 12 and younger, Colter ordered off the regular menu and ate an entire plate of steamed snow crab clusters. He's become a very expensive date.

But just to remind us that he's still a kid, he called Gary into the room the other night to kill a mosquito for him. Of course, shortly after, I did the same thing and I'm supposed to be a grownup. Who's your family's bug killer?

mmmmm... I miss Joes! *sigh*

Outback doesn't check for ages if you do curbside takeout (said by someone who is happier with a child size ribs order).

I can do small bugs. My husband does big bugs and also takes care of the mice the cat eliminates. *shudder*
