Tonight at dinner, Shane mentioned that the first man in space was a Russian.
Shayla: "Oh, in history we were talking about the Russians getting into space first and that it caused the Americans to go into a frenzy to step up science and math in the schools. They really wanted to catch up."
Me: (Missing the "to" and completely baffled as to why ketchup would be so important in the Space Race) "Ketchup? Wasn't ketchup already invented by then?"
Shayla: "Why no, as a matter of fact they were all 'We must have a condiment, made of tomatoes--and before the Russians!'"
Shane: "Our students must get on this right away!"
Sam: "It will contain vinegar and sugar and the secret ingredient: X!"
Cue the hysterical laughter--we really crack ourselves up.
May today there be peace within you. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born in faith. May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content knowing you are a child of God. Let this presence settle into your bones and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us. St. Theresa’s Prayer

This made me laugh out loud. I am impressed that your son knew there was vinegar in ketchup. I didn't know that! And I'm kind of embarrassed to admit this, but I've been calling it "Catch-up" since I was a kid thanks to the whole Catsup/Ketchup confusion. I keep trying to correct myself, but usually, it comes out as Katchup instead of Ketchup.
