Explaining Things

Today was, as most days are in my house, a day full of questions. Thought you might like a sample.

1. Me trying to explain the National Emergency warning system (you know, that awful EARRAW, EARRAW, EARRAW followed by BEEEP, BEEEP, BEEEEEP) that did a test while we were driving to Whole Foods:

Ryan-What is that terrible noise?

Me-It's the system used to let everyone know if there is an emergency.

Ryan-Like what? Who sings this song?

Me-It's not a song. It lets us know if there is a bad storm or...something bad like a plane crash.

Ryan-OOHHHH! And if big robot dinosaurs attack, right? Someone would need to turn on the volcanoes so the lava could come out and kill them. Like that kind of emergency?

Me-Yes, Ryan. Just like that.

Welcome to my world. :)

So here goes...

1. I HATE being home alone while John is out of town. I stay up all night, walking around, relocking doors, with nearly every light in the house on. I've called 911 four times since we've moved into this house because I thought someone was already inside or trying to get inside. It's really obnoxious for me and I hate that I hate it so much.

2. I HATE frogs...nearly as much as I hate being alone. One evening when I was 8 years old, I was running home to be in time for dinner, barefooted, and I stepped right in the middle of one. It was all squished up between all of my toes. I remember my mom laughing at me because I was so upset. Thanks Mom.

3. My BFF for nearly my whole life and I spent one whole evening back in '88 making fun of Roy Orbison. How ugly he was and how stupid his songs were. My BFF's mom scolded us and warned us about doing things like that. The next morning, she walked into the bedroom (I spent the night at her house) and said "I hope you're happy. He's dead.". True story. We felt horrible!

4. My feet are the ugliest thing about me by far. They are really more like hooves. Cracked heels that bleed and toe nails that are gross and thick. And that's when they look good after a pedicure. Sad.

5. I always laugh when anyone falls down. Even if they get hurt. It's not personal. I even laugh when I fall down.

6. I love to take baths. I rarely ever get to take one, but I have fond memories of them.

7. I used to LOVE Bruce Willis! I knew the words to every song he ever recorded and even had dances for most of them. I lived to watch Moonlighting. Ahh, those were the days.

So there it is! I swear I have a lot of friends but only have two that blog...and one of them sent this to me! Here's my tag:
