7:31
When I was growing up, the youngest of seven children, we had a weekly meeting called family council. The purpose of this meeting was to go over everyones schedule, discuss grievances, and talk about travel plans or family outings.
Needless to say I usually had not much to add and the meetings were very boring. Well one monumental evening (because we still discuss it) I brought up the fact that I would like my bed time changed. Currently it was 7:30. So my parents threw in, how about 7:31. Which I was delighted! Woo hoo I got a new bedtime.
It was until I was in my later youth (age 9?) that I truly realized what I suckered myself into. This is a family joke to this date.
Fast forward many many years. My youngest E was talking about how tired she was. So I non-chalantly suggested to her that she could go to bed at 7:31 that evening. You would have thought I had given her the best gift ever! She was so excited and continued to proclaim to her older brother and sister that she got to stay up until 7:31.
That my friends is what I call passing the torch.
Oh dear - do they really not have red velvet mix in MI???? SO SAD! You could make it from scratch but that would be a lot of trouble. I would go chocolate or I heard carrot cake balls today - that sounds good! :-)
Thanks so much for leaving me a comment and letting me know you are reading! :-)
