Just Like Price is Right

We were recently given a very thoughtful gift, and I was touched, and I shed a few tears. 

Of course the kids wanted to know "Why are you crying, Mom?". 

Grandma was there, and seeing that I was too choked up to talk, told the kids they were happy tears.

This made perfect sense to Sam.  He said "Oh yeah, it's just like on The Price is Right when someone wins a car."

Easily Impressed

Tonight at bedtime I was explaining to Sam who Stompin' Tom was (I may have also sung a couple lines of "The Hockey Song").  I then told him that one time Stompin' Tom stayed at the motel I worked at and I cleaned his room for him.  Sam's eyes got big and he said "What?!!  You could be on TV for that!!". 
Kids sure have a way of making a person feel good... for the very first time I think I'm actually feeling pretty happy that I had the opportunity to clean out a famous person's ashtray!
