One of my weekend house guests just paid me this compliment.

My house is very active during the summer months. My husband and I have rather large families and everyone usually comes at some point in the summer for a visit. Spread in between those visits are cherished out-of-town friends.  It can get kind of crazy, (don't get me started on laundry) but we put up with it because a quiet summer is not as much fun for us. And truthfully, full on family can be very entertaining...right up there with a summer blockbuster movie if you throw a couple of beers into the mix.

We all have some real character gems in our families, you know, the kind that make for those memorable moments that have you steeped in laughter (or amazement) until their next visit.

I'm not throwing him under the bus, but my step-father paid me a compliment that made me laugh so hard that it has become blog worthy.

My Mom was saying how much she loved coming to visit and seeing the kids, how wonderful the grilled chicken was, how comfortable the guest bed was, when my step-father chimed in and added "and don't forget, the first class toilet paper".

The Charmin 2 ply almost sent me to the ER with a piece of chicken lodged in my throat.

The funny part is, he really meant it.
