Daily Diary

This morning I burned a bagel in the toaster, and not wanting to eat it myself, I scraped off much of the burned part and set it on the counter in the hopes that one of the kids would eat it. Charles ate one bagel and then asked for another. "There's one already toasted on the counter," I told him. He hurried off. Silence. "Mom," he called from the kitchen, " Did you put lots of cinnamon on this?" I paused and then said, " No." He picked up the bagel and carefully examined it. " This thing is seriously burnt and I'm not eating it." I laughed. I guess I couldn't pull one over on Charles.
