Church Burger

Date May 18, 2009

I love my kids and they often say the wildest things. The other day when were chowing down on some of my wife’s hamburgers, my oldest, who can also be the most creative, wanted to debate why a “hamburger” is called a hamburger when there was no ham in it. Yes, I know many of [...]
