rats

Last night. Bedtime.
"Mom, what you gonna dream about?"
"I guess I'll dream about rats."
"Ratatouille? Me too. I'll be the rat. Who you gonna be?"
"I'll be the lady chef."
"Oooh, with the knives?"
"Yep, you bet."
"Ok. Dad can be the boy who can't cook. The garbage boy."

haha.

The garbage boy was on the couch when I woke up from putting Gavin down for his nap yesterday. He had finished off his swatch of practice knitting and had the Stitch n Bitch book open to a new project, a triangle of cloth already forming on his needles. I looked at the page. "Umm... What are you doing?" He held it up and grinned. "I'm making a bikini!" o_0


Delinquents

At Longs Drugs.
cashier 1: Man, you are gonna get so drunk off these.
cashier 2: hurr, that's the idea.
cashier 3: customer!
cashier 1: oh, sorry customer.
me: beer and laundry soap! Getting drunk and doing laundry on a Saturday night, I see.
cashier 2: you know it.
me: just don't confuse the two.
cashier 2: drink the soap? Yeah that wouldn't be so good. You wanna go on a date with me and make sure I drink the right ones?
me: but I already have a hot date delivering these very important eye patches to people with no eyes.

Well, I lied. Everyone had eyes, and the patches served duty as ear muffs and tiny hats for most of the night.

The kiddo discovered a patch in my purse and has not taken it off since. There's m' boy.
