Yesterday, a UPS delivery was set on our back porch and my daughter went to retrieve it. I heard her bring it in, and from the other room I asked, “What is it?”
She replied, “It’s for Dad. It’s a white box and it says fra-gee-lay“.

Ha! That reminds me of that Nicholas Cage skit on Saturday Night Live. “It’s ass-wee-pay!”

Was it a major award?

Half-Past Kissin' Time
Reminds me of a story from Uncle George, who was a high school teacher in a low-income, high hispanic population school. One of his young female students had a baby girl. She proudly brought the baby to school. When asked about the baby’s name (it was unusual), she stated that the nurses had put a name on the baby’s bed in the hospital, and they liked it so much, they decided to keep it! The name? Pronounced, “Femmaley Jones” That’s right. The nurses had named her baby Female Jones. True story.

this is very similar to ass-par-tuh-may. otherwise known as aspartame. i think we should all make a pact and speak like this whenever possible.

Don’t put a run in the fishnets when you go to turn it on; it’s a major award. Oh, and don’t shoot your eye out.

That’s my kind of kid. Hope dad doesn’t ask her to help him change the tire.
Kiera
One of my favorite movies of all time!!
MommyTime
I LOVE that movie.
Also, I hear you on the magazine front. What is it with demographics these days? I had the same problem with bathing suits — they were all either teeny bopper or grandma, and nothing in between.

I don’t know about your kids during this summer, but my daughter has completely forgotten how to read or spell it seems. I had a big box about the other day, and she asked what “Sue-Gar” was!
