Zingers (No not the KFC burger)

My kids and I have a pretty open relationship so every once in a while we let fly zingers at each other. Zingers as in thinly veiled criticisms or insults and I as the mother, get zinged once in a while.

Now the two youngest in my family are 16 and 13 years of age and you would think for their age that they wouldn't have fine tuned their zinging capabilities, but let me tell you every once in a while they can come up with a good one.

For instance last night. We went for our Sunday family dinner. My eldest daughter and her husband did not come down last night so it was just me, the two younger kids, my eldest son and his girlfriend who had just gotten back from Hong Kong. Lovely girl that she is, she bought me a humongous bottle of Absolute Vodka my absolute favorite. Hopefully I can make it last for more then one week. I love my vodka and my kids and their significant others know I love my vodka and this is what I usually get zinged about. LOL!

Nothing much happened at dinner and so after finishing we made our way home and were there before 9pm. We watched the movie "Are We Done Yet!" which finished around 10:30 pm. Now earlier my eldest son had wanted to watch the DVD "White Chicks" which is a pretty funny movie but we've all seen about 20 times before. He said there was a scene in the movie he had wanted to watch again. His girlfriend finally persuaded him to watch "Are We Done Yet" but once it had finished he told his baby brother to put on "White Chicks."

So this is how it started. Jordan " No need to watch ah koh you'll probably fall asleep before you get to see that part in the show." Justin " Don't mouth off to me boy just put it on!" Jordan " I'm not mouthing off I'm just predicting the future." ZINGER! Off course Justin had nothing to reply and I of course broke out in peels of laughter which under minded Justins authority, but hey I just couldn't help myself. It was pretty funny.

We watched "White Chicks" and Justin of course did fall asleep as he usually does, so you see Jordan can predict the future. Only this time he was a bit off, because Jordan whispered to me as he was putting the DVD into the player "He'll probably fall asleep during the opening credits."
