Wing Man
Have you ever eaten at Buffalo Wild Wings? I have, more than I care to admit. This was the place we went in college for a “snack” after the bars closed. Yummola! You get yummy wings in your choice of sauces, and a gazillion calories and tons of fat to go with it 
But MAN they are good!
My kids have begun to take on my liking for this food. Yesterday, after we took Duma to the dog park, we were deciding what to have for lunch. Jason suggested we get take out from Buffalo Wild Wings. Well, who am I to say No to that?!
So we head on over there and figure out what to order. Keira gets chicken strips, cuz she’s just the kind of kid who goes out on the edge 
Jason informed me that 6 wings would not be enough for him - he was STARVINGÂ I tell you! So I ordered 12 medium wings and 12 mild wings . . . figuring we’d eat the left overs some other time (you can only order in groups of 6).
We get home, we sit down to eat, we have chips and milk and wings. When Jason opened his box, he said “Wow, this looks like more than 12!” I said there were probably just some that were bigger than others. I eat about 6 of mine and am just totally stuffed! They are SOOOOO good . . . so I choke one more down. Jason continues to eat . . . and eat . . . and eat. Then he asks to try one of mine, and likes it. Then he eats more of his. And more of mine. Finally, he announces his wings are all gone, but he’s still hungry - can he have something else? Um, grapes? Banana? Apple? Something healthy please! I’m sitting at the table, staring amazingly at his empty wing box. I mention that I think he was right, they maybe did give him more than 12. So he starts counting the bones . . . 17. My 45 pound 7 year old ate 17 chicken wings! OMG!
Me: Dude! I can’t believe you ate that much food and you’re still hungry!
Jason: Why?
M: Because you’re tiny! And I can’t even come close to eating that many wings!
J: I guess I’m just a growing boy (gleaming from ear to ear with pride).
M: Where DO you store all that food?
J: Um, I dunno. Maybe my butt?
Oh dude - if you only knew…

Yup- I store my food in my butt too! Or at least it looks that way! that was a cute story! Thanks so much for sharing!
Jason is my kind of kid and I have the butt to prove it.
Seriously, he is very bright to be intuitive enough to question the number of wings in the first place. His thought processes always amaze me. I remember when he was little and we had to play in the closet, in the guest bedroom, and we were looking for what he called “toxies”. I asked him what he meant and he said,”you know, grandma, pollution”!!!
This is soooo funny I made Briggs read it in front of me (I wanted to hear him laugh!) Aren’t kids great!?! LOL
OMG!!! I can’t believe that little thing ate 17 of them!!! We certainly know they didn’t go to his butt…he doesn’t have one!!! But, he is a very, very active dude and I’m sure he probably did work up an enormous appetite. Great story…
Love…Mom
Yep that is where my food goes also only problem is it stays there! I love how little kids pack it in and then run around burning it right off!
Hey- I keep my food there too. And also my thighs and my belly. I have all sorts of places to store mine- that’s why I eat so much!
