Things heard around the house
and suburban
this week....
"That looks like an old fashioned chicken because is it all in 1 piece"
(Max, helping JD cook a cornish hen.
Old fashioned = whole chicken
New fashioned = nuggets)
"Hey Daddy?
Would a whale that is larger than you have taste buds the size of your hand?"
Max
Alex - "What is that in the road?"
Me - "Tar"
David - "Speaking of tar, were there tar pits in the cretaceous period and, if so, did they lead to the extenction of the dinosuars?"
(Dude, I'm just driving the car....I am not the internet...but wouldn't that be cool to have a voice activated Google/Wickapedia in the car? I wonder if OnStar can answer these questions?)
Me- "EEEAAAHHHH!"
Alex - "Are you ok?'
Me - "Yes, I just forgot that I moved the coat rack. When I walked into the dark room, I thought it was a person. Hey - thanks for being the only person in the house to come and check on me when I screamed."
Alex - "You are welcome...can I get more screen time for that?"
(You earn screen time - tv, video game, computer - at our house by doing your lessons, chores and having a good attitude...and maybe responding to your mother screaming over a coat rack in a dark room.)
