Daily chuckles

There was a sign on the road saying 'Sun for 8 days' on the top line and then underneath 'bridge work expect delays' or something to that ilk-  and because I was driving past, I read it quick and I was like  Sun for 8 days? I got all excited- Boy that's worthy of posting on the road sign to celebrate!  Then I read the rest- ohhh- But it was funny that in my head I was like Sun for 8 days!

The other thing I'm finding amusing- J takes photos and sells them on stock photo websites- one of the photos he took was of my Thanksgiving meal-
I made these pepperoni pinwheels for an appetizer- and they've been used on a recipe website in the Czech Republic!

International fame at last!! 
Is that your actual recipe -- or just the photo of the end product?

Hehehe-  talking to my 3 year old nephew

Me: "What does Gramma now have at her house in the little house?"

Him "Chickens!"

Me: "And what do chickens do?"

Him "The boooaaak"  (making the sound)

Me: "Hahhahahahaha. What else do they do?"

Him "The *bleep*-a-doodle-do" (making the sound)

Me: "Hahahhahahahahhaha. Do they do anything else?"

Him "Ummm the booooaaaak?"  (making the sound louder)

Me: "They don't lay eggs?"

Him "Oh yeah ,they lay eggs"

Hahhahahah a

So cute!



We don't have air conditioning on my floor at work. Every other floor does except mine. Today was very hot and all the 'public' fans we have near my desk are pointing at my menopausal colleague. It's a major source of contention for me. Anyways, i went searching for another fan, something small I could have on my desk. One of the postroom boys said he saw one in the basement and went to get it for me and when he came back he had the biggest freaking floor fan I've ever seen. I took it and now I have it pointing to me. Even on the smallest setting it's blowing all my paperwork off the table. I left working feeling a bit windblown (but cool!).

This is a great thread! This actually happened a while ago but it's cute and some of the stories in this thread reminded me of it.

Baby sister (she's 3): We should get a new fishy and then get him a trampoline.

Me: But the fishy can't jump on the trampoline because he doesn't have any legs

Baby sister: That's okay we can buy him legs.

Me: 

I had this conversation with my son sfter a day out with a friend and her son.  They are both 9 and in the same class at school (Yr 4).

Me: So do you think Bradley will want to go to the same secondary school as you?

Son: Why are you asking me?

Me:  I just thought you might have discussed it.

Son: No.  We don't talk about those sort of things, we talk about random stuff like 'why are there sheep?'

Me: speechless!!!!

'why are there sheep?'

 

To continue the theme, my nephew has severe asthma, and my sister is convinced that coffee help prevent attacks and reduce severity when they happen, so they give him a cup in the morning.  He's 4.  This was an interaction during my last trip to the States:

Early morning, I had just made a pot of coffee:
Me: Bring this cup of coffee to your Taid, please.
Nephew: I would some, please.
Me (never fixing him a cup before): How do you take it?
Nephew: In a cup...

BF has a nice watch that he doesn't wear much. Due to a break in & theft a year ago he decided that he would hide the replacement in a not so obvious place...under the bedside table...where I see it all the time, vacuum around it, etc. ("drawers are the first place thieves look for things" he says). After seeing it just sitting on the ground for so long I finally told him I was putting it in a safe place. I put it in the box and hid it in his sock drawer.

He just came down and said "where's that watch? I can't find it" - ha!!! My hiding spot worked!

We're meeting up with friends tonight to go to a street festival. Traffic will be crazy and they live right next to where the action is. We're going to park in their lot, but we'll be going in the exit rather than the entrance. It was all good because someone had broken the gate off the exit, but she told me today that someone has fixed it. I'm going to have to call her to open the gate for us, so that plus all the traffic, and not being 100% sure where to turn has me a little stressed. In her last email she called the whole thing, 'Operation Open Sesame'. Just typing that cracked me up all over again! Ha!

We have several graduate students working in the library here at Elitist U. and one of the recent recipients of a master's in theology was looking very glum recently. Turns out she threw out her diploma!  She thought it was a fake and they would mail her the "real" one.  It was all in Latin, she complained!

Numpty!! Can she not get a new one?

Probably -- for a fee. But just shows that smarts aren't the same as common sense!

My mom was a librarian at a big research & engineering company for around 15-20 years.  Incredibly brilliant scientists working there doing a lot of really important stuff.  She said they are some of the most clueless people when it comes to common sense.  Her theory is that, when it comes to the brain, we're all allotted the same amount of points but the distribution of those points is what makes the difference.  These scientists had a lot of points thrown into the "genius" section of the brain, so the "common sense" area was doomed to suffer.  

DF's coworkers are taking him for a night-out-mini-stag tonight in Cambridge.  They are making him wear a dress!
