wait...

our conversation at dinner tonight revolved around blood. probably not the most appetizing of all conversations...but none the less...

it was really about giving blood. i have given blood numerous times. the first time i did it, i didn't eat soon enough after and passed out. that was fun. but that has been the only time that happened. anyhow, at dinner i asked the kids a question. here is how that went:

ME: "would you guys give your blood to me if i needed it?"

AIDEN & COLTON: "YES!!!"

COLTON: "i would totally give blood for you if you needed it. how do i do it?"

ME: "they stick a big needle in your arm and take some of your blood out."

AIDEN (wide eyed): "wait. no. i wouldn't. i wouldn't give blood. no."

COLTON (very thinkingly): "how big is the needle?"

ME: "it's actually pretty big."

COLTON: "i would mom."

AIDEN (yelling): "NO COLTON!!!! DON'T DO IT!!!! THEY WOULD STICK A NOODLE IN YOU!!!"

CHASE (i'm thinking he will be strong and tell me he would give me blood if i needed it): "can i have dessert?"
