Thursday, October 16, 2003 the cutest thing my middle son has said all year We were sitting around talking about food. My boyfriend and I shared the observation that when we say we like seafood, what we really mean is shellfish. One of the kids asked what shellfish was. We told him shrimp, lobsters, mussels, etc. Dallas, my nine-year old, briefly considers shellfish he has known. Then he says: "I like seafood because, when you open it, it's full of chicken."Is that the cutest freaking thing in the world or what? We say that all the time now. "Man, this shrimp is full of chicken." "Dang, I love the chicken in these oysters. Pass me the horseradish." Dallas is kind of embarrassed when I tell that story, but everyone reacts the same way. "Aw! Poor baby! That's so cute! Yeah, it is kind of like it's full of chicken, isn't it? Ha, ha..." Dallas will either end up as a writer, a chef or a serial killer. Just kidding. Knock on wood. He's not gonna be a serial killer. He's too good. five things that bother me 1. when people refer to men as yummy 2. fruit stickers on anything other than fruit 3. when people misuse the word whenever 4. any kind of bad driving whatsoever 5. people who stare and another thing 1. It's fine to pronounce Target "tar-zhay". 2. It's a little annoying if you point out to me that you're purposely pronouncing it that way and/or that everyone in your family does so. 3. It's unacceptable for you to tell me that your family invented called Target tar-zhay. Stop it. No, y'all didn't. |
