What's Up, Doc

-


Overheard at the dinner table.

Kid Two asks Kid One:

"Do carrots really help you see better?"

Kid Two replies:

"Yeah...I think so."

Then comes Kid Two's brilliant conclusion...
"We should totally give ALL of our carrots to mom."

I guess you didn't eat enough as a kid. They were not my favorite....unless they were smothered in butter and brown sugar! xo

I only like them raw....a little bit.

The only vegetable I'd say I don't like.
Kid Two doesn't like them either.
That's why he tried to pawn them off on ME! ;-)
"Oh....mom needs to see better...."

While that IS true, he is very clever!

The "Way Back"

-
I'm rarely a back seat passenger in my own car. I drew the short straw, and found myself in the third row of my gigantic suv. What I discovered horrified me. This place also known as "the way back", is Kid One's domain. It's his lair. He sits in the middle like " The Navigator " with his iPod on, headphones in, and checked out of this universe. There is a rule in mi coche. I announce it in my very best flight attendant voice.... "Upon departing, please take all personal items with you. This includes any food wrappers or drink receptacles. Thank You." My discovery has brought me to the conclusion, that Kid One has never.... probably never, ever , heard the exit speech. There are burger wrappers, fruit snack wrappers, gum wrappers, ancient, petrified french fries. Crumpled homework papers, shoes, and a hat collection. DVD's, a cap gun, mechanical pencils.... It's like "under his bed" decided to live in my car. ...

Do You Believe In Magic?

I am magical.  How do I know this? My 14 year old texts me from school saying he needs a ride.  I drive across town, catch one extra slow Santa Fe(that's a freight train) and two sadistically long traffic lights, to pick him up, only to find he's no where in sight.   Hmmmm....where is that little....cherub?? I text him..."I'm Here. Where are you?" He texts back..."o i got a rid wit my fren. sory" Yeah...you'll be "sory" alright. Me..."And HOW was I supposed to figure this out?!" Him..."i jus thoght ud know." See. Magical.

I visited my parents at their home this past weekend. It is the home I grew up in. My parents are totally Type A kind of people(see previous post as to what the holy heck happened to me??). They are so organized that their collection of stuff  kept in the garage over the past 40 plus years...is organized. It is seriously amazing.  I totes would like to protest that I didn't get at least 5% of that gene. My husband would settle for any of the laundry  portion of the gene... In an attempt to reduce and further organize, my parents have been cleaning out. Each time my brother or I visit, we are sent home with a box of stuff of ours they have saved up in the ridiculously tidy attic. This past weekend I was sent off with two boxes. The most awesome thing in them...practically every note every given to me in high school. Kid One was confused by what a "note" was and why I participated in such an archaic activity. First I ha...
