Jason, hope you don't mind me sharing this. It was damn funny to read over!
Kif Loves Amy: Ewww nasty flies all over my @#$@ apartment! So I had to kill them all. And I didn't get them all but I gave up...
Kif Loves Amy: some were seriously HUGE and GROSS
SweetSangr: I hate flies.
Kif Loves Amy: Me too.
SweetSangr: lol
Kif Loves Amy: It's funny, I'll set a spider or a centipede free.
Kif Loves Amy: But I'll kill a fly.
SweetSangr: spiders, it depends
SweetSangr: the big ones freak me out.
Kif Loves Amy: well, yeah
Kif Loves Amy: i think they're cute, for the most part, though
SweetSangr: is it getting cold there or something?
Kif Loves Amy: no...
SweetSangr: oh, well, i know flies go inside when it starts getting colder...........
Kif Loves Amy: ah
SweetSangr: anyway, what a way to start a conversation!
Kif Loves Amy: our windows are faulty
SweetSangr: lol

Lol, sorry guys this is yet another quote from Mumbo: Ok so most of you know her name is Carole, and everyone calls her Caz. Well, the other night she wasn't too happy because she and my step-dad had had a bit of an argument and being a typical guy, my s-d is never the first to call (they don't live together but that's another story) so mum was wandering around the house talking in a silly Indian accent, saying 'I am not happy. I am not happy.' Anyway, the phone rang and it was my step-dad. I handed the phone over to mum and the first thing she said was: 'The Caz-wami is not happy!'Oh, did I laugh!! So I call her Cazwami now and I've threatened to change her email address, bahaha.  |

Hahaha you should just change the display name on her email so everyone starts receiving email from "Cazwami".
(omg, my aunty... has just had her son-in-law fixing something on her computer, and I assume somewhere along the line her display name of her email's been changed to "optus net"...... and it's annoying me so much but if I try to explain to her how to change it back to her actual name she'll get sooo confused and that'll just be more trouble than it's worth.)

You should just do it Aims - seriously, I am the only one in the family who can teach mum computer stuff without screaming within the first 5 seconds, AND I don't lie to her like dad does. One day he was teaching her how to copy and paste (with the mouse) and mum innocently asked him where the text goes when it's being 'copied' (ts ts) and he told her it goes in the mouse!! Cheeky dad... |

In the car today, listening to Squeeze "The Singles" cd with my daughter, son and niece in the back.... (they don't hear Squeeze music often)
My daughter says:
"Man, these guys sound totally like they're copying Modest Mouse."
(I think it was on 'Slap and Tickle' at that point)

Ha, this is such a fun thread! This is from when I visited home. I was sitting downstairs with my aunt and her boyfriend. We have a dog who is getting pretty old and losing her hearing, at the same time getting crankier. My grandma was going upstairs and the dog started following her although she's not really allowed there. Me: "Aw... look at that senile old fool go." Silence. Me: "The dog, I meant the dog!" ----------------------------------------------------------- A guy we went to eat Korean food with in NY: "What's this stuff? Is this like Asian Cheesecake?" (tofu). We thought he was kidding, but he kept on trying it and saying he just waits this cheesecake taste in his mouth and can't get used to it... What was even sadder was that he was actually dating a native Japanese girl who had very recently come to the US (who we went out with in the first place) and she just sat there, poor thing, smiling politely when the guy asked K. if you can get California Rolls in Japan or "do they, like, have real sushi there?". EDIT: Just in the news. This whole story is full of great quotes. Read it here.
Bear guzzles 36 beers, passes out at campgroundwww.cnn.com/2004/US/West/08/18/bear.beer.reut/index.htmlOf course I'd like to kick those idiots who left a cooler lying around. But... couldn't help but to laugh at the sophisticated bear who knew which beer to drink... |

"It is the securely attached child who is most able to leave the mother's side in order to explore the environment and investigate the objects which it contains. Thus, the earliest manifestation of 'interests' cannot be regarded as a substitute for affectional ties, but rather as bearing witness to their adequacy."
Anthony Storr (1920- ). Soliitude: A Return to the Self, 1988.
As the school year starts for my children, all I can say is exactly. And thank God for my wonderful stay-at-home-wife-mommy-Mary. ♥

I was just sitting at my desk this afternoon, listening to the radio, shuffling paperwork, when suddenly I heard my boss (who was on the phone) say this:
"Oh, and the worst thing is when you're puking your guts out and shitting at the same time"
I just about fell off my chair laughing...
And then when she got off the phone I learned she was talking to our IT computer-fixit guy... and that just set me off even worse!
Hahahahahaha she cracks me up.. she'll say shit like that to anyone, it's hilarious.

Today, I substituted the words "king hat" for "crown," accidentally. Whoops.

Last night I was at home with Troy and Ryan. I was watching Buffy, Ryan was watching Dune, and Troy was playing some video game. Ryan came out of his room, looked at the both of us and said "We need to call someone over here to kick the crap out of us for being such nerds." Sigh. It was so true.  |

My son, who is 5, is trying out expressions.
Things he hears his big sister say, things he hears his parents say, things on TV or things said out in his world. He's keen to the fact that words connect together in ways that garner particular responses in people when the words are said.
So he tries to get responses, too.
It's working, but I don't know if it's always the response he had in mind ...
Here's an example:
Tonight Sean went to go pick up dinner... we'd ordered Chinese food from the local take-out place. Connor is not really a fan of Chinese food. So when he asked what was for dinner I told him "Dad went to go pick up Chinese".
He said "YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF!"
LOL, my daughter and I laughed. I looked at him funny and told him I think he's trying to tell me that he's not happy about the dinner choice but that perhaps he's picked the wrong phrase....
Ali said "Yeah he's Mr. Random". I told her (quietly) "He's just trying out expressions to see how they work; let's show him these aren't working but nicely, ok?"
So then, after hearing Ali's comment, he gets really dramatic and says: "Haha, Ali... Random. That is such a cool word... WHAT A RELIEF!"
Ali and I lost it completely.
Later, when we were straightening up the magazines and books and newspapers that we read while lounging around this afternoon, Connor noticed Ali picking up the newspaper that was in front of him on the table, and he said: "NEWSPAPERS ARE SOOO COMICAL!"
Ali rolled her eyes. She responded: "No, no they're NOT! They have a COMICS section, which is about as close as it gets!"
Oh, God they crack me up.
Connor will blurt out anything once. He's a smart kid and I'm hoping with as much as he talks (constant thinker; constant talker) he'll try out enough expressions that he actually starts to use them appropriately.
I'm hoping, I am... but then tonight as he was upstairs changing into his pajamas I walked past him into his room and put some fresh laundry away in his dresser. He had taken his shirt off and, like every 5 year old, tossed the shirt up to the ceiling to test gravity, found it still worked ok, and let the shirt fall to the floor, then he looked away from it as if the shirt no longer existed and gave me that look that said "whaaat?"
I nicely said: "Remember to put your clothes in the hamper before coming downstairs."
To which he said "YOU MUST ALWAYS RETRACE YOUR STEPS!"
He clearly was trying to just throw out random words and get that same laugh-response from me.
So I said "Listen Confucius, why don't you retrace YOUR last 5 or 6 steps and pick up those clothes you dropped then trace yourself over to the hamper?!"
Haha, I'm sure tomorrow I'll hear all kinds of attempts and "Confucius" lines....

Anyway, Paulo was sick last night - he also could have been delusional. LOL, yeah. Delusions. I don't even own baggy jeans... but from his post it sounds like he's just imagining or picturing Enya and Sade wearing baggy jeans; an imagining that occured because he saw our photos. So we inspire baggy-jean imaginations?! You're weird, Paulo! (and I hope you feel better). |
