This morning.
The Kidlet: Mom, how many years is it in dog years again?
Me: 7
The Kidlet: Well if Bex is 6 months, then how old is he in dog years?
Me: Three and a half.
The Kidlet: Ok, then I would be 70 in dog years.
Me: Yup
The Kidlet: (to Bex) Man, I don’t even wanna know how old she (me) is in dog years!
good times.
Before I forget about this one:
The kidlet and I stopped at our local Giant for a donut on the way to the grandparents’ house the other morning. He was trying to decide what donut he wanted and finally pointed to a tray and said, “I’ll take the fat one on the right.” Always the smartass, I said “Yeah, that’s pretty much how I get picked out of a crowd too.” My son, who’s wit is just as quick as mine says, “Mom, stop it! You aren’t even on the right!”
He kills me.
The kidlet and I were talking last night and somehow got on the subject of mispronounced words.
When he was little, he coudn’t say squirrel. It came out squeer-ul. We would take a walk and he would see a squirrel and he’d shout out “Momma, lookit a squeer-ul”! 
He pronounces it correctly now. The other word he had trouble with was horse. He said “forse”. No matter how hard I tried (the whole h-h-h-horse came out of his mouth as h-h-h -forse) it was still forse. We lived near Lancaster county and therefore, saw horse and buggies all the time. He would get so excited when he would see a “forse and buggy”. He prounces that correctly now too.
One of my friend’s son used to call a caterpillar an addapidder. I use that word all the time when I see a caterpillar. Oh, he also used to call manicotti manacoyote Another one of my friend’s daughter used to call a helicopter a huckapucker. I still use that word too, so does the kidlet, LOL! We get strange looks and have to explain what the heck we are talking about.
I just glanced out my window and it’s beautiful outside. I know it’s a little chilly, but the sky looks awesome! I wish I would’ve brought my camera with me today. I could’ve gone outside at lunch to snap some pictures. There are some really gorgeous daffodils blooming right out front.
I am actually waiting on a new camera bag I purchased to arrive until I start schlepping it around. I have a bag it’s currently in, but I don’t like it. I picked up a nice Lowepro Slingshot bag.
Here are some pictures of it:
Yeah, I am gonna look like a nerd, and what? I don’t care, so neener neener. My camera will be safe and secure and easy to get to just like in that there picture in the middle. Swing it around to the front from the back and open the lid and voila, shoot!
I should probably get back to work now…
