I'm sure I'll post a more thought provoking entry later this evening. (It seems that is when I really do my pondering!) But for now, here is a little story that may make you smile!
Don't you just crack up at those people who always seem to use the wrong words? Or mix their cliches? I do that. Often. I'll say something like "I feel like a hundred dollars" instead of a "million." Its hereditary, too. My Mom tried to quote Forrest Gump and said "Momma always said life is like a bowl of cherries" instead of "box of chocolates." Well, the proverbial apple doesn't fall far from the tree. (Ha! See...got that one right!) Indira said something silly with her Daddy in the car the other day. Once she caught herself she said, "I know, I'm a shit-stick." PJ was stunned. He started cracking up! He then said, "Indira, I have never called you a shit-stick!" She knew she had used the wrong word at this point and replied, "I mean...DIP-STICK!"
While I am not proud to admit that we sometimes call our children dip-sticks while joking around, I can honestly say that we do not call them shit-sticks. I don't really know where shit-stick came from. I don't know that I care...it was hilarious.
Until next time...peace and love....
The other day, I was taking Adam and Zachary to preschool. They were talking about chickens. Zachary described to Adam how the chickens were pecking, with their peckers. Adam, of course, didn't think anything of it, but I was secretly cracking up laughing!
