...and all it took was a little potato salad!
Hmmm....I know you are wondering what on earth I am talking about. Well, as many of you already know, our grill died on us last summer. So, Gary being Gary, didn't want to settle for a lesser grill. He wanted one of the mack-daddy grills with the smoker, grill, refrigerator, and kitchen sink...you know what I'm talking about. Since we couldn't get that, he decided to just "wait". You've just gotta love him, though. He took out the gas burner, and made it a charcoal grill! :) Unfortunately, it just wasn't the same. The grill was not vented properly to use as a charcoal grill, so for the entire past year, grilling has been an adventure, to say the least!
This morning when we were talking about what we were going to have for dinner tonight, he said the words I have been waiting to hear, "I wish we had a grill." Yeah!!! What a break through! So, I said, "Just go get one today! If you do, I'll make potato salad while you are gone to get it." Guess what...IT WORKED! We had hamburgers on the grill, and he didn't even use a single curse word! :)
The best part, though, was the box it came in. Jack convinced Mitch to let him put him in the box. Mitch spent the next 30-45 minutes in the box. Some things never change....Kids still prefer boxes to toys! He took his basketball in with him and piled all of the packing cardboard on top of him so we couldn't see him and stayed there forever! Oh...to be so easily entertained!
