Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we. Supposedly George W Bush made this great quote on August 5th, 2004. I found it on several websites while browsing around. I personally think George W is […]

Foolproof
I have been slowly reading my way through the Ultimate Hitchhikers Guide, which is comprised of 6 stories by Douglas Adams. Before I had Adrianna, I could consume a book in a day or two or a week at the most. Now, not so much. Anyways, I found a great quote from Mostly Harmless last […]
Girl Cheese and Boy Cheese
My mom used to make us grilled cheese sandwiches when we were growing up. My brother, Brian, thought she was calling them “girl” cheese sandwiches, so he said he wanted a “boy” cheese sandwich instead. Over time, “boy cheese” somehow got applied to a cheese sandwich that wasn’t grilled and so it was then forever […]
Ku Klux Klan and Scattegories
In a previous post, I mentioned how my family loves to pick on each other. Greg also likes to pick on ME, so he fits right in. One time, Greg and I were playing Scattergories with my family. Scattergories is a game that consists of a list of 12 categories. A letter die is rolled. […]
Quit Sitting on the Job
This isn’t so much a funny thing that was said, but more a laughable reaction to what was said. When Karen was two, she was sitting on our yellow armchair and someone jokingly told her to “Quit sitting on the job.” She raised up her bottom and looked down to see what she was supposedly […]
The Golden Arches and McDonalds
Okay, I am going to pick on Cindy again. We were in Cheyenne and were going to go out to eat. Eating at McDonalds was a big deal for us kids when we were in Cheyenne, because the town we lived in did not have one. Knowing this, Dad asked if we wanted to eat […]
“Amber, did you flunk Will?”
It turns out that my mom actually has written down a few of the funny things us kids have said over the years. It is a virtual gold mine of funny things that we didn’t remember until reading the entries tonight brought them back to mind. We spent several minutes reading the entries and laughing […]
“She’s gonna get her nose pushed in”
Well, in all fairness, I guess the first mistake in using an idiom should be my own. This is one that my mom especially likes to bring up. In 1990 when I was 12 or 13, my mom, dad, and I went to the animal shelter in Cheyenne and ended up adopting a sweet little […]
My Family
My family is loud. We all like to talk, and when we get together, we all talk quite loudly and excitedly. We also like to make fun of each other, especially when one of us makes a mistake in our grammar or messes up the use of an idiom. Something that you might have said […]
