A St. Patrick's Day lesson

I was standing at the counter making waffles for the boys. Matthew came up behind me.

Matt: What's for breakfast?

Me: Waffles.

Matt: Good. I'm feeling a bit peckish.

Me: What?

Matt: That's how you say you're hungry in Ireland.

Now, I know that, but it was rather a surprise to hear it come out of my 6 year old's mouth at 7:00 in the morning.

Perhaps I should have been serving rashers and soda bread...

No self-esteem issues there...

Quoth Grace, when Jon told her he needed her to pull him out of bed: "I can't because I'm too fascinating."
