Me: +1000 for getting beard and dragon and pancakes all in the same picture
Me: -10 for someone choosing Comic Sans
Him: I'll settle for 990
Me: Sounds like a Jeopardy exclamation.
Him: sounds like Jeopardy meets Oregon Trail
Me: Oh no! Jeopardy has a broken leg!
Me: THANK GOODNESS I ALWAYS GO AS A DOCTOR.
Him: You must shoot Alex Trebeck and move on.
Me: Poor Alex

Me: And she lost Sir Kilts, who left to destroy a dragon and to obtain some Nyquil.
Him: nah
Him: stores are closed by now
Him: otherwise I actually would
Me: Not DRAGON stores.
Him: but those are only in the Highlands, hours and hours away from here
Me: *SIGH*
Him: ?
Me: Nothing.

My son is learning to use the bathroom by himself. After we’ve washed and dried our hands and thrown our paper towels into the trash can, he insists that we prepare some paper towel for the next person.

I’ve probably mentioned this before, but it’s worth revisiting. I would be better about reading my email and checking Google Reader if this guy would narrate every message and post.

Coworker A: I think I'm going to go to a bunch of garage sales and pick out one set of dishes from each place.
Mom: Wait, why don't you want a full set?
Coworker A: Well, this way, if one dish breaks, I can just replace it with something completely different. It will already be intentionally a mis-matched collection.

Me: Wow. Did we break a lot of dishes growing up, Mom?
Mom: I didn't give you breakable dishes when you were young.
