QUOTE OF THE DAY (OR MORE): "No, no. You don't understand. This is an '89 Calico. I'm pretty sure that exceeds the Kelly Blue Book value. The cat's totaled." --A comedian whose name I forget talking about a vet who presents a $3,000 bill for a 12-year-old cat

Semantics, Schmantics...




me: Hey, buddy! It's the Memorial Day holiday weekend! We're going to the beach tomorrow!





10-year-old: Oh, wow. It's summer now? We're going to the beach?





me: Yeah! Are you excited?





10-year-old: cool. So are we gonna see the 4th of July fireworks?





me: Yeah... no. So, buddy... what month is it now?





10-year-old: May.





me: And the "4th of July" is in what month?





10-year-old: um.... Oooooooooooohhhhhh....

  3. Funny, I had this same exact conversation with my husband over the weekend!

    Totally kidding! It wasn't exactly the same. My husband didn't know what month it was. ;)

  5. We have a sign in our town that reads "LEFT TURN OLNY" It's been there for years!

    And I always call Easter, Halloween. It's a candy holiday.
