Tales From The Crypt, er Daily Life of Me

So, I have to post these "Overheards". Hope you enjoy.

At DiscoveryLand (where I babysit at church) wearing jeans with a torn out knee (purchased that way ...) little Jerry, aged 3, touches my knee while we were sitting crossed legged for the Bible story and looks at me quizzically and says "Your pants are broken". The styles of 2011 must be very perplexing to a toddler ...

Also at church. Auntie made an appearance in her wheelchair after a few months of touch and go health issues/arctic temperatures for too long. She was spunky as ever, with beautiful clothes on and Mora turns to me ,after I commented on how nice it was that she was there, and said "Yeah, the trouble is, noones going to feel sorry for her, she looks so good". Followed by her signature laugh that makes me warm inside :-).

This one is from work. Partner whom the company is named after and approximately 63 years old to another partner of the same peer group and says "Do you ever play Angry Birds"?

At a hockey game last year, but definitely worth mentioning: Britney's comment in regards to a video of Sidney Crosby was "I'd cougar that, would you"? Leave it to her to make the word cougar a verb. And thats why I love her.

Another Britney term. Another cougar term. When red wine stains yours lips, you have whats known as 'cougar lips'.

Now to Handley. In response to me telling him and Jonah that bullies get beat up on the playground (I was doing my best auntie/kind but stern lecture on them picking on Nate). He looks up from his lego and without missing a beat says "No, they don't. They just get telled on to the principal".

Thats all for now.

Cheers, Leanne
