A conversation overheard:

The Girl: Hey Mom, do you know The Wizard of Oz?

PM: Um, yeah.

TG: Cuz Aidan at Kids Club was singing "we represent the Lollipop Guild, the Lollipop Guild, the Lollipop Guild we represent the Lollipop Guild, the Lollipop Guild, the Lollipop Guild..." Do you know that part?

PM: WerepresentheLollipopGuildtheLollipopGuildtheLollipopGuildwerepresenttheLollipopGuildandwishtowelcomeyoutoMunchkinlandasmayorofthemunchkincityinthecountryofhtelandofozwewelcomeyoumostregallybutwe'vegottoverifyitlegallytoseetoseeifsheifsheismorallyethicallyspirituallyphysicallyundeniablyandreliablydead...

Anonymous, October 17, 2009 at 12:37 PM: Has The Girl even MET you before? Because the Wizard oozes out of your pores.

About Me

Likes:

- The Husband. AKA "The Silver Fox."

- The Girl. Soaring and plunging along the rollercoaster that is adolescence.

- The Boy. Sweet. Lazy. Sulky. Often all at once.

- Semicolons.

- The first cup of coffee. And the second. And the third.

- Jesus. The Sermon on the Mount one. Not that other one.

Dislikes:

- Going to the movies and sitting next to the Twitter-er. Or The Explainer. Or the diabetic with the automatic insulin pump that hisses in the seat next to me during the intense scenes.

- When people use their iPads as cameras. Or iPods.

- Eating on the bus. Especially cereal.

- The apostrophe used to make a singular noun that ends in "s" plural.
