I dont have any kids, but I did babysit my Moms parrot for a week. She said it started to say 'oh, shit' all the time after that. I had no idea I walked around the house saying that, but I must of.

This was when I was single and living alone.

That's why I like cats. They generally don't repeat what they've heard.

As My 2 yr old and I were making cookis she said "I want my bull craps Mama... give me my bull craps" I assume she mrnt the cookie dough... Flint uses that phrase all the time so of course the first thing I did was call him to inform him that his daughter was wanting her bull craps and he was responsible... I have to admit it isn't near as bad as some of the things she has heard from my lips... I bet she is just saving those for a more embaressing moment

I've been watching Good Will Hunting with my older son, and my youngest boy just put in an appearance and asked what we're watching. Aden says, 'Big Wood Hill'. I corrected him and laughed...and he said he nearly got one word right.

Good Will Hunting + teenage boy = big wood hill.

As part of my astronomy lab, I had to pick a nice, clear night to go outside and look up. There were several questions to answer, both by observing with the naked eye and with binoculars. Last Thursday was that perfect night - not too cold, clear sky.

My 10 year old son went out to "help" me. Actually he was quite a help; he's very smart, and it was good to have another pair of eyes (better ones!) to confirm what I thought I saw. He's also very interested in science stuff.

Of course, up in the sky right around 10 p.m., looking to the South, was Orion. Orion's belt is in the middle - three stars - then two more above, and two more below, for arms and legs.

Below Orion's belt there are three fainter stars in a line. This is commonly called Orion's sword.

But thanks to my son's lively commentary, forever I will think of them as "Orion's Schmekel."

Well, when you look from the Southern hemisphere, the "sword" is sticking up above his belt. Sword, indeed.

I had picked up Miss Dallas from choir practice and we were heading off on another errand. She knew that while she was gone our contractor was supposed to drop off some blueprints for the alleged addition. She asked if the drawings were good.

"Well," I said, "there are three different versions. None of them is 100% ideal, but there's no point in trying to change them until we find out from the town government exactly how far out we can build, because we're getting close to the property line."

"Wait... the town has a government???"

My mom sent me an email today. Apparently they were having dinner with my brother and his wife and the girls. Seinfeld was on, and the 8 year old said "what's a masseuse?"

The 3 year old rolled her eyes and said with exasperation "Dr Masseuss? From Horton Hears a Hoop." She was quite put out that the 8 year old, in all her advanced wisdom, didn't know THAT.

Hector (9) was trying to tell us which song was his current favorite.

"You know, the one about hanging bitches on the wall"





(Ashes of Soma, Bedroom Wall, the word is "pictures")

lol

Heard today: my three year old niece, she of the Dr Masseuse, was in the bedroom changing clothes and her mom asked her why she was changing clothes and A replied "I'm not changing clothes, I'm changing my life."

Scarily funny kid.

The Millimeter (22 months) was shouting from the other side of the baby gate at the cat:
"Ernie, come here! Ernie, come here! Come here Ernie, I want to show you something."
