From Our Mouths to Their Ears (and Mouths)
Monday, March 30, 2009 at 02:39PM We must shop late at night. The girls are playing ‘store’ and Nicole just said over the ‘store microphone’ “Attention shoppers, we will be closing in 5 minutes. Please gather your items and proceed to checkout.” Clearly she has other things to do!
Kind of reminds me of my Buckeyes playing (very loose interpretation) the Gators for the national title a few years ago - on my birthday no less. Olivia (2 at the time) walked around the next stay shouting “Damnit!” in a very aggravated tone. Still aggravated, I didn’t mind.
Which is also reminiscent of the story my mother loves to tell about the time we were rough-housing in the back of a parked pickup truck. I went over the gate backwards and upon landing bit my tongue in half. My mother lost sight of me for a moment while signing me out and rushed to find me. As she turned the corner, she heard the policeman ask me, “That’s horrible! What are you going to do to Joey when you get home?” to which I replied with my tongue taped/glued together “I’m going to go home and kick his ath.”
