Kids, Kindergarten and Konversations

Suzy was telling me about a conversation among the kids she transports home from kindergarten.

Kate was telling Abby how she wants to be a Mommy when she grows up.

Abby, "I don't want to be a Mommy, I don't want to feel the pain. I want to be a hairdresser."

Kate, "But then you won't have anyone to be with forever!"

Abby, "Yes I will, the other hairdressers. And I'll have Monday and Friday off. I'll get donuts."

Kyle, "I invited 2 boys in my class and my teacher to go to outer space with me."

What to do

Suzy was talking to Kate in the car about what to do if someone is picking on her, or someone else. First, she asked Kate what she would do if she saw someone being picked on. Kate had a couple of good ideas, her first one was to wait until the "bad guys" weren't looking, then run really fast and get the little girl and run away with her.

Suzy interjected that maybe she should tell them to stop, or if they're bigger kids, to go get a grown up.

Kate then replied, well, then I was just going to teach them about Jesus.

I really hope she doesn't ever get this attitude crushed out of her.

Donnie Mac's

We went to Donnie Mac's Trailer Park Cuisine ( http://donniemacgrub.com/) for dinner yesterday evening. The fare was pretty good, I liked their fries, and even their sweet potato fries were somewhat palatable with their "Trash Sauce" (Fry sauce). Unfortunately for Paula, they were out of the "Worse Burger" (an aptly named Veggie burger). They're pretty open and honest about food and such. It was quit the interesting crowd, very "North endish" They even have a "Pedal Pusher" burger which is discounted if you have a human powered vehicle. Anyway, it was a fun experience. The picture below is an old car that has been converted into a booth, Suzy went a previous day, and they got to eat inside the car. They LOVED it.

Never a truer word

We were sitting in the office today while Broccoli was cooking. Suzy said, "You know you're hungry when Broccoli smells good."
Amen to that!

I tell you what, Broccoli is one of the few vegetables that I'll tolerate (maybe even like a little bit), but I must admit, the smell of Broccoli in the air is not one to dream about, unless, as Suzy states, one is HUNG-uh-RY (so hungry you have to use 3 syllables to pronounce it).

Savannah

Suzy and the Fam were on the way back from the Boise Zoo the other day.
Kate pops out with, "I love living here in Boise."
Suzy, "why?"
Kate, "'Cause there aren't any lions here. There's no way I'm living on the Savannah."

Lucky for her there doesn't seem to be much of a chance that I'll be transferred to the Savannah anytime soon.

ps - the Zoo now has an Anteater named Mike.
