I would like to know...

1. How a child that is in speech therapy for not being able to pronounce some sounds can correctly pronunciate, to perfection, the word diarrhea.

2. Why, the moment I go into the bathroom, an emergency house meeting is called whereupon all family members (and pets!) are silently summoned to the bathroom so we can decide what to have for dinner, whose turn it is to put up the laundry, or where the light saber to the darth vadar death star is?

3. How a gummy fishing lure thingy can end up in my bed when the tacklebox is located in the garage with strict instructions to never bring anything inside of that nasty thing inside the house. Also, I would like to know what our neighbors thought when they had to have heard my scream upon feeling it on my leg when I got into the bed last night.

*I would like to know can be a weekly installment upon request* ;-)

darth vader/death star

Now listen here deadhead. I know Star Wars!

And our darth vader/deathstar toy DID come with a lightsaber as you can clearly see in this picture:

It is a transformer...a darth vader AND a deathstar. I guess I should have been more clear like the directions it came with which said it only took 25 steps to transform (now THAT was misleading!).

Not know my Star Wars jargon indeed. You may as well have called me a Republican - it would have hurt my feelings less.

(there - some politics mixed in!)

Hah

I forgot to title the first post, how do you like the way it came out? “Came out,” man, I just can’t win today.

By the way

I did not misspell "politics" – I simply meant miss your antics on horseback during polo matches.

1. Diarrhea is not that hard

1. Diarrhea is not that hard to pronounce – in fact, he could be saying something completely different. If you think about it, pronouncing diarrhea sounds more like you’re saying something during a yawn.

2. The light saber has nothing to do with the death star – you lose 150 credibility points and should be frozen in carbonite.

3. I would imagine your neighbors are quite used to you by now. I would further imagine more concern would be generated from a lack of noise.

Sorry, I miss your polotics.
