Notable quotables
My son will someday be a writer |
| From a very young age, Jakie has amused us with the things that he comes up with. Hope you enjoy them, as well! |
| This is how language morphs, folks |
| Monkey was attempting to help Bob prepare a box to ship. As the packing peanuts (the only sort of peanuts he's not allergic to) clung stubbornly to his arms, he determined: Packing peanuts are foamnetic. Quick, somebody call Merriam Webster! |
| Ahhhh bribery . . . |
| Dhoc-li Llama Jake: A dollar or two? |
| Ah, to be young and modest |
| After helping me figure out how to get the Cuisinart back into the box: I may not be strong, but I sure am smart! |
| Is it a Gaudi? |
| Driving through the neighborhood this morning: I just LOVE the way that house is built! With the bridge and then the steps. Such discriminating taste my young one has. |
| I'll let you figure this one out . . . |
| Also on the way to camp, quite randomly, Jakie asked the question: Why do they call it a HO-tel? What does "ho" mean? Dude, I just don't even know how to answer that one . . . |
| It's the little things that mean the most . . . |
| We were talking on the way to school, and the topic of Greece came up. I mentioned that I'd studied there was I was in college, that I took classes there and that I'd lived in an apartment. His reply: *gasp* You lived in an APARTMENT!?! Then . . . Grandma Kitten lives in an apartment. Is it the same one? One day, kiddo . . . one day you'll be able to experience the joys of apartment living. |
| Stop me if you've heard this one . . . |
| A few months ago, we were telling knock knock jokes. I told the following: Knock knock! Who's there? Little old lady. Little old lady who? I didn't know you could yodel! Monkey and Goldilocks both got a huge kick out of it. The other day, Jakie improved upon the joke: Knock knock! Who's there? Little old lady who. Little old lady who who? I didn't know you were an owl that could yodel! |
| What's the deal? |
| Mom, I think all of the teachers at the JCC are named "Miss" because it's at the front of all of their names. And I think they're all boys . . . I mean GIRLS and they all have Miss as the first part of their names. How bizarre . . . must be a prerequisite to working there? *shrugs* |
