free association
Lest you get the impression that my son is the only one in this family who likes silly word play:
Me: It was a free association.
Jeremy: ".. with purchase of a second association of equal or greater value!" -
overheard
My favorite unintentional evesdropping moment this week: "We need to communicate how we're going to communicate."
Also, my silly son's completely-spontaneous coolest new phase: "I'm sorry, my brain was off task." Yep! Like when I'm too sleepy and I start a perfectly rational sentence, but it takes an unexpected turn somewhere and becomes...surreal -
my brain has a new trick
My car was totaled in a car accident. (No, it wasn't my fault. Yes, I'm basically okay.) I'm driving a rental that has electronic door locks.
You know how you try to put your car key in your house door or vice versa? I just tried to unlock my house remotely. -
malapropisms
My favorite misspellings from today (with definitions):
Annpouncement: When you announce to your lover that you intend to pounce them when you get home, or announce to the room that the reason you're dragging your sweetie away is urgent desire.

playing with stereotypes
I got 5" or so of scraggly split ends cut off my hair on Saturday. About 24hrs later, when Jeremy hadn't said anything, I couldn't resist being a tiny bit evil.
Me: So did you notice what I did with my hair?
Jeremy: Ahhhhhhh!
Me: *laughing so hard I can barely talk* *shows him my hair cut* Sorry, I couldn't resist.
Jeremy: Don't DO that!
Me: You know ( Read more... ) -
refrigerator poetry
On my fridge:

See him drool in the pool.
Why did he spit?
Why did he drool?
No, Spot, no.
No, no, no.
Bad dog. Bad Boy.
Snot does not go there.
It does not!
(I love the way random shuffling of words inspires bizarre and surreal combinations.) -
ten-word-wiki
I got turned on to Ten Word Wiki the other night. I think I'm lost forever. This is hilarious!
- Language: "[...] getting an idea from my brain into yours without surgery"
- Mark Amidon
- God: Created the World in seven days, hasn't done much since
- Brain: Perplexing mess of neurons and meat and stuff. Very tasty.

My boys are cute
shoes_the_dog:
We were talking about the tests where kids can list brands of beer and soda and all sorts of dumb shit, but not US presidents and stuff. I asked him to name 3 US presidents. He promptly said "Obama." Then after a long pause, "Was Abraham Lincoln a president?" "Yes, very good, one more." "Was George Washington a president?" "Yes, excellent! Now, ( Read more... ) -
My cat has a mylar fetish
Daisy loves the little mylar packages that CCGs come in. She'll settle herself into the pile and wait for me to bury her, carry them around the house in her mouth, and tackle the pile from on top of something high to make them scatter.
