5.) 7 things you overheard this week.
I don’t know where my kids come up with half of what they say. I don’t know what’s wrong with women who go on a show like The Bachelor to compete for a husband. And I don’t know why the local news picks the sound bites it uses to broadcast the news, but I’m glad Twitter exists to share it all. Here are 7 things I overheard this week(ish):
1. “stank. breath. Mom? Do you have stank. breath?” -my daughter’s stream of consciousness.
2. “There’s nothing worse than a soggy red carpet.” -local news regarding rain during the Oscars. I can think of plenty worst.
3. “It makes me…happy…which is something I don’t allow myself to feel very often.” -single gal on The Bachelor. Still single.
4. “Mom, you already know how to make spaghetti, you just gotta learn how to make the sauce.”
5. “The ball won’t hurt…I mean if someone KICKS it, it will hurt.” -A bright observation about soccer made by a gal on The Bachelor.
6. “I’m a little concerned to know that it’s getting colder and darker.” -A concerned Seattle citizen on the local news in regards to possible snow coming in. Please nobody tell her this happens EVERY night.
7. “I was engaged to be married, he called off the wedding a few months ago. I think I’m ready for love again.” -single gal on The Bachelor. I’m guessing it might take longer than a few months to get over your FIANCE.
