My daughter recently brought home a packing list for a school camping trip. Of course at the bottom were the forbidden items. Included on this were:

--ipods
--Walkmans
--Discmans

(My daughter asked, what's a Dice-man?)
That's right kids, leave those Discmans at home. Also your Boom Box and 8 track players. I think it might be time to update that camp form. Once every 20 years or so should do it…..

Accidental Produndity?

This from our 8-year-old, out of nowhere....

Funny of the Night

Jarvis just asked our 10-year-old the following:

"QB, do you want to use the Walkman?"

Answer:

"What's that?"

Oh, we're so old.

AWOL iPad

My son lost my iPad this week. He left it at Walgreen's, you see, after he set it down to take a closer look at the water guns. Who wouldn't?

Regardless, I'm one angry bird.

So now, to decide on a suitable punishment. I'm thinking I'll make him read all his books the old-fashioned way instead of on a touchscreen. Oh, the horror. That ought to teach him a thing or two.

Funny of the Day

Miss Mopsy has a toothache. It might have something to do with the fact that she got a filling the other day (well, three actually, but that's another story) and felt something hard come out while chewing a piece of gum.

Anyway, she's having a hard time munching food on the right side of her mouth where her sore tooth resides. Most sensibly, I suggested she chew on the other side of her mouth.

"I can't!" she told me. "I'm a rightie!"

Quite a Cake!

I have to post this picture of the cake my kids made for me for my birthday. It was too funny. It doesn't look like it, but there actually was an adult involved in the assembling of this confection.

It was very delicious, though. We're all fighting over the last piece. I think I'm going to go eat it right now....

Big News

Our little first grader was on the news the other day. Her class has pen pals in Sendai and Channel 5 sent a news crew to her classroom. (Yes, it's a shameless attempt to find a local connection to a tragedy halfway around the world, but the kids look adorable.) I don't know how they made them look like such little angels. The camera does more than add ten pounds, apparently.
