What were we thinking when we weren’t thinking?

It was going to be one of those strange turn of events. An all-out food fight. But no one saw it coming.

It began slowly, with a simple goal. All I wanted to do was carry my dinner plate to the den (yes, the den), and watch Fox News. But noooooo…. the guys grabbed the remote control in hot pursuit of yet another repeat of National Treasure. The two of them are sitting there reciting lines, racing to see who can beat Ben Gates.

I’m like, you guys are so weird! I’m out of here. This is the 50th time you’ve watched Ben Gates find the fake Declaration of Independence, aren’t you bored? They look at me like I’ve lost my mind. It’s Nicolas Cage, woman!

So I get up — me and my plate, and what do they do? They corner me with a most hilarious attempt at an Indiana Jones routine. I am left no alternative but to break into a flimsy interpretation of Laura Petrie. I shake my booty and I say, beat this, Rob!

That’s when Ken waves his arm like an Olympic judge, wait! Wait! You don’t have your peddle pushers, you’re disqualified!

No, honey, but I do have a plate of peas. And I might add that you look quite funny wearing them.

Bread, potatoes, napkins, and Oreos sail. Us dorks are engaged in a major food fight and it is laugh out loud fun.
