Posted in WELCOME TO PLANET KATIE: POPULATION 1
Katie went outside to pick the first ripe strawberry of the season, then came back in a few minutes later and asked, “Wait how are you supposed to pick it?” Laughing ensued and then I said, “Hold onto the stem and pull.”

Scot: What is that book about?
Katie: I’m very very not very far into it.
Me: You are very very not very far into it?
Katie: Don’t judge me, I haven’t finished my coffee yet.
Me: You do realize it is 1:00 in the afternoon. I can judge you at that time of day if I want.

Just got schooled by my son. Scot and I were talking and I said something joking about not giving a sh&% and did not realize Sam was listening.
Sam: Mom why did you say you did not give a, and then that word?
Me: Oh I was just joking, I did not mean to say that. I am sorry.
Sam: You know the rules of this house. You are not supposed to say the SH word.
I apologized again.

Scot: You know what you said last week about Oklahoma being the only state that inspired a musical? What would it be like if they made a musical about Oregon?
Katie started singing: Well the Hippies and the Rednecks should be friends.
Scot: Atlas Shrugged the Musical. (then sang off key) Well, the Moochers and the Workers should be friends.

Sam was watching Fairly Odd Parents and Brittany Brittany was supposed to perform and was a no show. The announcer said that she was not going to be there because she was eaten by a wildebeest.
Sam: (very upset and offended) THAT’S STUPID. Doesn’t he know that wildebeest are herbivores?

Sam: Mom look at me.
Me: What?
Sam: I cut my own hair with scissors.
Me: Oh no. Sam you are not supposed to cut your own hair.
Sam: What? I did not cut my head, just my hair. I knew what I was doing. I did not get hurt.
UGH!!!

Posted in DRIVING ME CRAZY
How many people can say that they are sitting in a parking lot just minding their own business when a plane crashes and splits off into 4 different pieces right in front of you? The fuselage went one way, wings another, the canopy in a different direction and then the little tail thingy that sticks up off of the back is in yet another place. And the red light is still blinking. Granted this plane was about 2.5 feet long, battery operated and made of styrofoam but still it was kind of freaky…
Yes I brought it home with me. I was there over an hour and no one came looking for it so finders keepers…
