Notes from the trail

Me, to children: It smells out here.

Girl: I don't smell anything.

Boy, sniffing exaggeratedly: Me either.

Me: Well I do. It smells like poop.

Girl: Well...we are near the asphalt plant.

Me: Yes. But they don't actually manufacture asses.



Later...


Me, holding my hip and grimacing.

Boy: What's wrong, ma? Your hip hurt?

Me: Yes, just a little.

Boy: You know...pain is just fear leaving your body.

Me: Wow. That's very profound. Where did you hear that?

Boy, shrugging: I dunno. Spongebob?

Girl: Probably!

Me, sighing: Yes. Probably.

(speaking of asphalt)
Wifey and my favorite quote we probably use too much we heard after a rough landing on Southwest..

"Sorry for the hard landing, it wasn't the plane's fault, it wasn't the pilot's fault, it was the asphalt"...

I'm sure Boy-Child would approve. :-)

Oh yeah, our great guru Sponge Bob. I think one child learned 9/10 of his pop culture references from watching The Simpson's.

Quality television. That's what we like. Who can say what's educational or in what way?



Happy Monday, Steph. love, Val
