Stuff That Makes Us Hillarys: 10 of 30: Chinese Chickens at Lunch?

...in the beginning...

We are the Hillary family. I can't actually claim all of us to be Hillarys, we've meshed with the Stimpsons, the Doxstaders, the Merrimans, and the Lowreys - but the more you hang around us the more we kind of rub off on you, and poof - you become a Hillary. Which, after reading some of the things that we do might sound like a pretty frightening thing. The disclaimer is that I cannot embarrass any of my children, and I promised. Then I uncrossed my fingers. We love the following people in our family.... Del & Nicole, Matt & Bethany & Drew, Em, and the Noahman Ashley & Mike and Baby Mackadamia and soon to be..., Mandy & Ryan, J-man and Dimples, and Ryan and Katie - yes we own two Ryans! Not pictured: Zoey the German Shephard, Opi the newly adopted puppy, BG & Baby Red the Macaws (the latter two Zoey would eat if put in the same picture). Welcome to our Blog. Don't take us too seriously.... life is meant to have a never ending, bottomless tub of buttered popcorn and laughter.

10 of 30: Chinese Chickens at Lunch?

SO BUSTED! Today I had to get a hold of my husbands associate for some important dates. Mandy is performing in her BYU solo recital next February and with Del's travel schedule we always have to plan FAR in ahead for these things. I couldn't get a hold of Del so I tried his associates cell phone and this is how it went:

Me: Hey RayOvac, how's Jarr Jarr Binks? (He hates Jarr Jarr)
RayOvac (I call him that): (cautiously) Um - ok I guess... (as he tries to figure out who I am.
Me: So you're probably sitting at some Chinese Buffet table with my husband and the rest of the guys right?
RayOvac: Um - Ya right! (sounding shocked and guilty) Oh - It's Nikko! (what he calls me).... How did you know where we were?

I actually had no clue - I just threw that out there just for fun! Apparently they all played hooky as they arranged for their travel plans and stopped in at a local Chinese Buffet for lunch. RayOvac asked Del how I could possibly have known this, to which Del answered: SHE KNOWS ALL! (Be very afraid) Fortune Cookie Anyone?
.....and there you go.
