my own personal idiocy and why it amuses me so.

[tikimonkey]

ohmygod, someone directed me to read this list of mitch hedberg quotes and i've been sitting here for ages just reading and laughing my monkey bum off! :) this is worth saving for the inevitable rainy day when your monkey head gets all soggy and sad, because this will make your smooth-brain all bumpy again. and no... i'm not on drugs :) i'm just in a silly monkey mood! perhaps it is all the aftermath of going to the zoo this afternoon with a two-year-old, followed by waffles for lunch with lots of "sirriup!" on them. it kills me that baby-p (or tenacious-p, as i call him after having tried for almost half and hour to convince him to leave behind the joy of a big pile of dirt) pronounces "syrup" as "sirriup" -- has no one tried to tell him it's SEAR-UP? :) it's funny to me because he can't read and he's just getting down the SOUNDS that different letters make, but he pronounces "syrup" like a DYSLEXIC. i'm also giggling because i said to iain as we were falling asleep last night that the hated idiot neighbors who were noisily dragging around their trash cans outside our bedroom window at midnight are that way because they lack gyrencephaly and thus are "smooth-brains" which made us both laugh like drains and then he took to calling them "mr. and mrs. smooth-brain," and then we progressed to the decision this morning that we would start using the name "mr. and mrs. smooth-brain" as the name to put on mailing lists for coupons and things like that. if asked for a first name, we will use "omrod." as in, "mr. omrod smooth-brain." and that simple idea has kept me amused since late last night :)

there is clearly something seriously seriously wrong with me. perhaps i'm a smooth-brain too :)
