Mark comes home in the evening and is wondering what is going on. Ribs? And not the cheap kind? The good kind that we've never ever bought before? Something must be up.
The menu:
Parmesan potatoes
Carrots
Spinach salad with poppyseed dressing
BBQ ribs
Throughout the course of the meal I take the opportunity to announce each portion of the meal. Interspersed with our evening commentary of "How was your day?" and "You fired another temp?" were questions and phrases somewhat like this:
Marily: Do you want some baby potatoes, Adam?
Marily: Look, Dallin, baby carrots.
Mark: Wow, we have a few baby things for dinner tonight.
Marily: Dallin, did you know that's baby spinach in that salad?
Mark: Is it really baby spinach?
Dallin: Can I have some more chicken?
Marily: Sure, but it's not chicken. They're baby back ribs.
And then he gets it. Or at least Mark gets it. And he laughs. And still we get through that whole announcement dinner without even clueing in the little guys as to what was going on. Dallin might not have even cared at that point. He was too busy enjoying his chicken.
