Though I'm mopey, these things have made me smile lately:

We were listening to the oldies station at school and i was dancing around with the kids while we cleaned up from nap and quiet time and got ready for snack and the rest of the afternoon, one of my girls looked up at me with her sweet, earnest eyes and said, "Why do you like every song that come on?"

The book "My name is Ernie," is that features the ? "I bet you can't guess what my favorite color is. Give up?" The answer? "It's red! The color of red sneakers... and Bert's red underwear." It also features a picture of Bert in his red longjohns coveringhimself up in a rather effeminant pose. I'd put a copy of it here, but my parents scanner is busted right now. (Yay for dP!)

The idea of Scott, on Labor Day at the barbeque at his house, driving on his moped to the airport to pick up Jeremy, and the two of them driving home with Jeremy's wheeled suitcase trailing behind like a wagon. (I amuse myself a little too much with my active imagination)

Finding out that the song I'm always quoting improperly: "Everybody knows, that the world is full of stupid people," is by The Refreshments who also did the theme music for King of the Hill, one of my favorite twisted tv shows. Here are the real words:

"Banditos"By: The Refreshments (Roger Clyne, Brian Blush, Buddy Edwards and PH Naffah)

"Just how far down do you want to go
We can talk it out over a cup of joe
And you can look deep in my eyes,
Like I was a super-model Uh-huh

So It's just you and me baby
No one else we can trust
We'll say nothin to no one
No-how or we'll bust
And Never crack a smile or flinch or cry
For nobody Uh-uh

So give you ID card to the border guard
Your alias says you're Captain John Luc Picard
Of the United Federation of Planets
Cause they won't speak English any ways

Everybody knows
That the world is full of stupid people
So meet me at the mission at midnight
We'll divvy up there..
Everybody knows
That the world is full of stupid people
But I got the pistol
So I Keep the Pesos
That seems fair

So put the sugar in the tank of the sheriff's car
We'll slash the deputy's tires
They won't get very far
When they finally get the word that there's been a hold-up Uh-uh"

(It goes on, but repeats previous stuff)

See I told you all it was a real song!!!
