Lobster Tales

Dentist husband and I took our kids to a local fish restaurant for lunch yesterday. There was a huge lobster tank full of very large and active lobsters. Toothsome #3 (age 2) was VERY afraid of the tank and clutched tightly to me the whole time we were looking at it. Dentist husband said, "Don't worry, we won't let the lobsters get you." He then looked at both us and said, "Yea, they can eat ******(his older brothers name)." So, look out Toothsome #1, in a crisis, your younger brother is more than willing to sacrifice you to save himself.

Later in the day, Toothsome #4 walks in the family holding a tennis racket and says, "Daddy is a pinching lobster and I am going to get him." Fortunately, Daddy was paying attention and was able to grab the tennis racket before any serious contact was made.
