Davey, on a wrestling game:
At first I got the heck beat out of, and Daddy got the heck beat out of, but then I started winning and Uncle Daniel got the heck beat out of.
At Lunch:
Mom: Wow, girl, you're a bottomless pit!
Fi: What's a bottomless pit?
Daddy: People used to say I had a hollow leg.
Fi: A hollow head?
Daddy: Leg.
Fi: Head. Hehehehe
Later:
DJ: Mom?
Me: Mmmm?
DJ: Are you sleeping?
Me: ...*sigh*... No.
DJ: Then why are you lying there with your eyes closed?
The CNN moment:
Me: If you kids don't settle down blah blah LAST WARNING!, blah blah blah!
DJ: *insert mouthing off*
Daddy: *pulls to a stop light in downtown Panama City*
Me: *Slam down knitting, unbuckle seatbelt, dive into back seat, pull DJ out of his seat, swat swat, return to seat, straighten hair*
Guy in the Blazer beside us: OMG....
Daddy: This is not my family, this is not my car, that's not my license plate...
Return Trip:
DJ: I want to talk to Mom
Daddy: Mom's asleep. Be quiet and let her rest.
DJ: Well, she's staring at me!
Daddy: No, behind her sunglasses her eyes are closed; she's asleep.
DJ: Stop staring at me, Mom!! Aaaauuugh!!!
The dream at the hotel:
I was trying out to be a private chef for a lady who lived alone. She wanted me to audition Iron Chef-style. She said to make oatmeal. There's not a lot you can do to make that "gourmet." I stirred and stirred, tilting the pot, adding milk, until the consistency was perfect. Now, the flavor. Mint. And Honey. It was delicious. Refreshing and indulgent. Perfect. She loved it.

I love road trips, but prefer to take them alone. Really.
ReplyDeleteYeah - can't imagine why. ;) I do like road trips, but I think it'd be more comfortable in a minivan - one kid per bench seat.
ReplyDeleteFunny thing about the dream is, I don't cook. Like, at all.
But you COULD cook, if you wanted to. Love the roadkill tally - we usually do it in the voice of The Count: "One! One dead skunk! Bwah hah hah hah!!!! TWO! Two dead skunks ... " etc.
ReplyDeleteNot cooking is a fine tradition on the maternal side of your family! I know your granny - and mine & your mom's granny - MUST have cooked sometimes since none of us is exactly skinny, but it's just not something I ever picture either of them doing! And your mom and I both can cook, but we don't. It's your job to teach Fiona not to cook! :-)
ReplyDeleteHa!! Actually, I'm about to start teaching Fi to cook. She needs to have more options when she's hungry (and take some burden off her dad)!
ReplyDeleteDavey, I think will be pretty into it, when it's time - and it almost is.
