Say What?

In regard to children, sometimes the answer to a question, is a question.



Question:
               Where do babies come from?
Answer:
               Where do you think they come from?
Kid Answer:
                Love and Dads.
Exactly...and sometimes too much wine at Thanksgiving dinner.
                                                                                                                                 


Question:
               Why did you and dad lock your bedroom door?
Answer:
                Why do you think we did?
Kid Answer:
                    To wrap my Birthday present.
Exactly.
                                                                                                                               


Question:
              What are corn dogs made of?
Answer:
             What do you think they're made of?
Kid Answer:
                    Pancakes and sausage.
Exactly. 
                                                                                                                              
Question:
              Is that the REAL Santa at the mall?
Answer:
             What do you think?
Kid Answer:
              Kind of.  I think it's his decoy.
Exactly...whew! The magic lives for another year.
                                                                                                                              
Question:
              Why do people go to church?
Answer:
              Why do you think they go to church?
Kid Answer:
               To sing songs that make them feel good. I would sing, Hey Soul Sister.
Okay...so we do not attend church, obviously. 
                                                                                                                                 
Question:
               Who's older, you or dad?
Answer:
               Who do you think is older?
Kid Answer:
                Dad. He is taller than you.
Exactly. And you will make a fine husband one day, young padawan...






Moral:
There are stupid questions and stupid answers and they go together like wine and cheese.

I Hit Snooze, Again

-
Do people hibernate? I'm convinced we do. Or I've just decided this is the reason for my wanting to stay under the covers and become a professional snoozer. The fact that I haven't seen the sun in 8 days and it hasn't been balmier than 45º has driven my inner bear-ness. I live in a cloud. Really. This town is officially a cloud. And not a pretty, billowy cumulonimbus cloud. More like a big, heavy, grey, damp blanket of a cloud. Blah. Wake me when it's spring....

Getting Ma'am ed

-
At the grocery store, the local coffee spot, by the Principal(who is clearly older than myself)...that one little ridiculously spelled word- ma'am . I know it's supposed to have an aura of respect, but it reeks of...well...chronological order! I can feel it coming, too. "GRANDE SKINNY VANILLA LATTE!!" shouted by some pierced barista. I look around, puzzled because I am the only one waiting.  "Guess that's me...thanks."  wait for it...wait for it ... "Have a nice day, ma'am"  And there it is. Thanks. Getting old sucks.

Honolulu?

I'm at the gym with my husband. It's nice to have a sidekick. He's running on the treadmill beside me. I glance over at him and notice two things;  One- He's far too close to the back of the machine. If he flies off and eats floor, I will probably pretend I don't know him. Two- He's holding his hands in a strange way. Like he's giving the hang loose sign....thumbs up, pinky's down...pumping away. In that moment it occurs to me... .th at looks weir d . He's got his headphones in and I can't get his attention to poke fun. Later that night he asks, did I look alright on the treadmill today. Awwww. Bless his sweet, hot little heart.  "Yeah. You looked good " I say, all full of kissy face innuendo. "But what's the deal with your hands?" I can actually see him running back the moment in his mind.  "Oh. My. GOD ." Says he, now visually disturbed at his recollection. "Yeah. I was thinking, what's up with tha...
