Easily amused.

One of the things I love most about my kids is how easily amused they are. I can turn almost any mundane thing into an adventure. Our trip to Sam's Club is just one example, but here's another.

Last week I took the kids to Arby's. We don't typically go there, but we were out running errands at dinnertime and this is where we landed. They've had Arby's before, but very infrequently and only ever via drive-thru or in the food court at the mall.

To the kids, Arby's is exotic. The seasoned curly fries are strange and wonderful. The roast beef is new and interesting and the Ring-the-bell-if-we-made-your-day Bell*, is a mind blower.

But the highlight of the trip was when The Deuce found a question mark in her curly fries. She showed us, the table next to us, and the store manager. You'd have thought she found the likeness of the Virgin Mary emblazoned on her sesame seed bun, the way she carried on.

"I've got to save it!" she proclaimed.

She carefully wrapped it in a napkin and carried it home so she could photograph it and preserve it forever.

Never mind the fact that it's backward. I'll work that out with her third-grade teacher during parent-teacher conferences, I'm sure.

Yep, it was an exciting day at our house. It's not every day you get the thrill of witnessing one of nature's finest anomalies.

Truth be told, after the photo shoot, when nobody was looking, I unceremoniously scooped it up in a Kleenex and threw it away.

*If you're not familiar, the next time you're at an Arby's look for a brass bell, mounted to the wall near the main door. There's a sign telling you to give it a ring if the staff/meal made your day. When you do (which we did), the staff all yell, "Thank you!" Give it a try. Even if the meal didn't exactly make your day, I guarantee ringing the bell will.
