Items Of Business

Here's a list I found that Travis made during Sunday School the weekend I was gone:

- Toss all too small Abby shoes
- No eating in Abby's bedroom
- Security in limits/boundaries
- Lost my church key :)
- Their faith started before coming to Earth
- No such thing as unlawful censorship; think about what to bring into a home

The Grass Is Greener ....?

We currently have a lot of weeds in our yard, due to very little upkeep, while our neighbor Don spends his free time doing yard work (apparently some people enjoy weeding and mowing so much that they choose spend two hours a day doing it. Good for them.).  His yard is BEAUTIFUL. As we're pulling out of the driveway today, Travis says,

"Well, that's why we have so many weeds in our yard. The grass is too short."

 "The grass is almost 18 inches high."

"No, his grass is too short. It upsets the balance."

I had no words for this.

"When he cuts his grass too short, it pushes all the weeds into our yard."

Again, silence.

Life In The Twilight Zone

Travis came home for work and I told him I wanted him to come to a movie with me, but we had to leave right then. He wasn't really in the mood for it, apparently, and asked what kind of movie it was.

"A thriller."

He grimaces. "Is there anything else at that theater?"

"Uhhhhhhh, Hot Tub Time Machine? No."

"Couldn't you just pick something up at Redbox and we'll watch it?"

"What did you have in mind?"

"Oh, I don't know, a romantic comedy would be good."

Yes, that's right. My husband unabashedly prefers romantic comedies to thrillers.

The Trump Card

Conversation

Travis: "You're way more irrational than I am."

Elizabeth: "I'm irrational? You're irrational."

T: "Name a specific time I was irrational."

E. "You name a time when I was irrational!"

T: "I don't remember; I just have a general sense of overwhelming irrationality on your part."

E: "So ... all those times I tell you you said something and you claim you didn't and then you get mad and tell me I'm the one with the bad memory because I tell you you have a terrible memory are, in fact, invalid? Because now you're claiming to have a bad memory to cover yourself."

T: "No -- I know you're less rational. I'm the most objective person I know."
