This past weekend, we drove down to Lake Jackson, TX to visit friends and be in town for Titus' pediatric opthmalogist appointment on Monday. It's a good 6 hour drive with no traffic and we always plan to stop at Woody's which is exactly 1/2 way on our trip.
Woody's (exit 164 on I-45) is a hole-in-the-wall gas station and bar-b-que joint that also sells all manner of homemade jelly, pickled vegetables and candy. It's one of the those places where they just pile the meat on wax paper and sell it by the pound.
We got 1 pork chop, 1/2 lb of brisket, 3 ribs, plus the requisite beans, onions, pickles and sweet tea and sat down at the long picnic tables for our meal. As with any good bar-b-que place, you just got to eat with your hands which is why there are plenty of paper towels on each table.
As we are finishing the meal, Becky asked for some unsweet tea and some artificial sweetner.
Tucker handed Becky a basket of packets on the table and said, "Mom, here's some sugar packets".
To which Noah loudly replied in a loud, emphatic (but very innocent) voice, "NO, those are sanitary napkins!!!".
Becky quietly and gently stated "No, honey, those are moist toilettes" - of which I had to use several to clean up the tea I spurted out from laughing so hard.
And sweet Noah, he still has no idea what he said.

Too funny! Several years ago this would have been a conversation in our all boy home, besides me.
I'm putting this restaurant on my list of places to visit. Nathan and I ate at one like this in College Station and loved it. (Thought only Aggies ate like this. We are UT fans.) We would love to take our guys to this one. Is it in Centerville? I'm sure we will be going that way in the near future. My oldest (23) may actually propose to a girl in Houston before the year is over.
