Remember the talk show from the early '90s called the Arsenio Hall Show? Well, it resurfaced at the Leahy household tonight.
I tried a new recipe for dinner -- sausage stuffed manicotti. When I asked Scott what he thought of it, he replied with a rather funny yet positive response of, "I have this to say about it -- Woo, woo, woo!" Now imagine with that last sound, the gesture of great approval that Arsenio Hall used to do on his show. Arm up, 90 degree angle, in a rah, rah arm-pumping motion. This was one of those "hey, I forgot about that" moments that made me just stop and laugh (and try not to spit my manicotti all over the table!)
Well, apparently, the youngest Leahy also saw the humor in this and started laughing, too. Scott repeated it a few more times just to make Luke laugh, and before you know it, Luke busted out the move, too. So there we were at dinner, just me and the 2 Arsenios hooting away!
Moral of the story: Be careful when you ask your family what they think of your cooking!
