The boys didn't look happy to have to wait for the chocolate to solidify on their homemade chocolate-covered pretzel sticks.
So, as they sat at the table staring at the treats, I remarked, "Hey, it's better than watching paint dry."
Elder Son glared at me and replied, "It's JUST like watching paint dry."
