Es'panol?

We had J's 2 friends (J&J) from down the street over last night. Juan is the oldest at 10 - and we were talking to him about him learning English in school and suggested that he could teach J how to speak Spanish. "You mean he doesn't know how?" He was amazed. TOO cute! I guess everything IS relative! :-)

S suggested to us on Saturday night that when she called Daddy "Mommy" that she was only "teasing"!!!!! She's not supposed to get that concept!!!

J and I and L&J went to see Peter Pan, the ballet on Saturday. It was a lot of fun. But no, the boys are NOT going to be ballet dancers - so don't ask. That is pretty much the attitude we got when we asked. They really did enjoy it though. They were totally silent through it and sat with mouths hanging open.

Aunt J won the lip sync contest again this year. My father is now trash talking the competition. Telling them that "his daughter is going to kick their a..) Namely Odd Todd. ;-) I can just see that.

We went to the VVEEF fundraiser this weekend. What a good time!!! Margie and I had a really nice talk. Lots of "politicians" (I use that word loosely). I can't get over how people think they're "all that" because they are "running" for office - or because they hold office. I just shake my head. You know, how they say that the thing you fear the most will end up looking VERY good to your children? Well, my kids will be 1. Hollywood celebrities or 2. Politicians. Are they all not the scum of the earth? I know, that's very prejudice on my part - but I can't help myself. Those two categories of people just turn my stomach. You can't believe what either group says. They both have the same priorities (fame and money - for themselves) and they are the MOST out of touch people on the earth. I just so have to laugh.

I was informed by one of these people running for office that he has known MY nephew forever. Hmmm, I said - isn't that interesting - *I* have too!!! Ugghhh. Why is it that people get such a kick out of telling another person how much they know their family better than the person does. It's just funny. I've witnessed this happen in other people's families too.

It's CRAZY at work today. It's like everyone who got up on the wrong side of the bed have called and created a problem. And mostly silly problems where they are mistaken. Example: One lady said her tax return went from 95 to 160. When I actually looked it up it only went from 155 to 160!!! Convenient memory. :-) But she was sure nasty with me.

It certainly takes all kinds.
