Haven’t had a decent ‘kids say’ in over 6 months but tonight Hannah came out with one.
While winding down from dinner, but still seated at the table, Hannah said, “Do I have a wisp?”
It took me a minute to get what she was saying and I started trying to think of what she meant when she [...]

Tonight after dinner at my Mother-In-Laws house, we were sitting around just chatting about the days events. I was talking about a website I created for my uncle that was having issues.
“Uncle Peter’s site went down” I said, followed closely by “he texted and asked me to call but since I was in the office [...]

I was Christmas shopping in a department store and was checking out, being assisted by an older woman. Her appearance made me think she might be Pentecostal, I mean, she had the PHD, the glasses, the outfit etc…. not that it matters, I am just trying to set the scene.

From the local newspaper:
Dayton stimulus request includes prostitution plan

Last night while on the way to Grandma’s house I was scanning the new Sirius lineup in my truck. I landed on a French station and just for fun, I asked the kids what language they were speaking. Hannah piped up [...]

We all know the Yankee Doodle classic with the line that goes, ’stuck a feather in his hat and called it macaroni.’ Well, last night Hannah came in singing;
‘found a stack of feathered hats in his macaroni’
Has there been a Yankee Doodle re-write nobody told me about?

Had a few this week:
We had no power for three days due to a wind storm last Sunday. After two and a half days we had to empty the fridge because of spoilage and we put a candle in the fridge so we could see since it was dark outside. Hannah said, is it safe [...]

Went for a walk at lunch with Hannah who rode her bike. As we went through the neighborhood I noticed she was having trouble stopping so I checked her brakes, commenting to her that one of them needed to be adjusted.
She said ok and then asked, ‘can you tell me how to turn on my [...]
