Little Wise Guys

Overheard in the van, on the ride to school this morning:

Little Chic to Brainy Boy: "I'm rejecting your reality and substituting it with my own reality."

I'm thinking that somebody has been watching a little too much Dr. Phil.

Baaahahahhahahah! OMGoodness, that's too funny!

And I can sooo identify with the sound thing. I think with Claire's deafness, it has somehow made me more hypersensitive to sounds and protective of our hearing. The boys have these airsoft guns and the clicking makes me crazy! Must be done outside. Of course it may be making me nuts when I hear it inside because that could mean I will be finding holes in my lampshades and bb's embedded in the soles of my feet...AGAIN!

Jen this one made me laugh right out loud. I love Dr. Phil and some of his Philism's get thrown into some of my conversations, much to my husbands dismay. But for it to come from a young one such as Lil Chic, well that's just priceless. I would have loved to have seen Brainy Boy's face when he heard that one. Too funny!

hehe, that's priceless. :)

More likely though, was that she was quoting Adam Savage from the Mythbusters on Discovery, not Dr. Phil.

Little Chic's New Do

I have been bugging Little Chic to cut her waist-length hair for a long time. She did take about 4 inches off it about two months ago, and ever since, has been toying with the idea of something drastic and cool. Today was the day! I love it, but it's a little sad too--seeing how it makes her look all mature and teenager-ish.

Stickin' It Out

I got married today. Well, not exactly today. It was Friday, June 2. But the year was 1989 - 17 years ago. "Amazing", people say. "Good for you", they comment. "You must have picked the right one", the add. Amazing? Yes. Good for me? I'll admit it. But it has nothing to do with picking the right one, really. It's not because I found the perfect boy, and it's certainly not because he found the perfect girl. It might sound a little unromantic, but there never really is a 'right one' floating around out there waiting in the cosmos for the other 'right one' to crash and connect. There may be 'better ones'; there may be 'more easily compatible' or something or other. But the real story is you start becoming the right one the moment you vow that "you do". When I married, I had been 20 for a whole 33 days, we had just completed a 2-year long-distance realtionship and HE was five years older tha

"Huncle" Dave

This guy's my uncle. He's 8 years older than me. With my dad being the oldest of 10 kids, my grandma still had kids at home by the time my dad was getting started with life. This guy was my hero when I was growing up--sort of the big brother role, but with a little more novelty than a constant bully and boss hanging around. He certainly did his share of bossing and bullying, but I took it all in stride since I thought he was an incredibly big deal. Since he was the youngest of 10 kids, but older than all the grandkids, he took full advantage and made the best of his position in life. One aspect of him being more 'mature and world-wise' was that he required treatment of proper respect and authority. Thus, I, and my cousins, were expected to boost his ego by calling him by his rightful name "Huncle". This classy moniker had the unique combination of the relationship (uncle) and his self-proclamation of him being a teenage 'hunk'. Since growing up,
