Rob Kisses Snow White

So, I don't remember how it came about, but we were all at the dinner table last night and suddenly I was telling the kids a story about how Rob kissed Snow White.  And then he had to tell her he was married and had 3 kids, but she was okay with that.  So he said she could come live with us, if she wanted, and she did want to, but first she had to collect her stuff from the Dwarves' House.  And her stuff was probably dusty, since she'd been asleep for so long, so it might take her some time.  Plus, the house was probably a mess, cause you know how the dwarves are, so she'd have to clean it, too.  But she'd be joining us in a few days.  I turned to Rob and said, "What, Rob, you think maybe Saturday?  Did she give you a concrete day?"

Rob just looked at me.  I insisted.  "Rob?  Did she say Saturday?"  He complied.  "Sure."

"See?"  I said.  "She'll be here on Saturday."  Miciah looked at Rob and said, "Daddy, is that REALLY true?"  ...  Can't get anything by Miciah.  ...  He said it was true.  She said, "I don't believe you.  Snow White is just a story!"  Rob reminded her that she believes in fairies.

Then the whole thing died down because dinner was ready and we needed to say a prayer.  Rob asked Elijah to say it, and so Elijah closed his eyes, folded his arms tight, took a deep breath, and said, "Dear Heavenly Father.  Thank you for the food.  Thank you for the day.  Please bless Mommy will stop thinking Snow White is real. ..."

And I don't remember the rest after that.  I was laughing too hard to hear it.
