Men with long hair
Today, Ordinary Spouse overheard a conversation among our girls. They were debating whether men could have long hair…
Youngest Daughter: Doesn’t YouTube have long hair?
Her sisters (puzzled): What do you mean?
YD (with emphasis): I mean the guy who goes…
OH-OH OH-OH EXCAVATION!
Ah, yes. That guy does have long hair…

Super Bowl parties
Oldest Daughter likes to plan parties. Yesterday, she had this conversation with Ordinary Spouse…
Oldest Daughter: So – what do people do to celebrate the Super Bowl?
Ordinary Spouse: Mostly, they just eat junk food and watch TV.
OD: So what happens at a Super Bowl party?
OS: Um… you eat junk food and watch TV together.
We buy foods while they’re fresh
Ordinary Spouse was shopping with the girls in Caputo’s yesterday. (She generally shops there when she wants fresh fruits and veggies; Aldi when she wants staples; and Meijer when she needs household supplies.)
They walked past the snacks, and Youngest Daughter peered down the aisle intently. Then she saw the cheese puffs…
Look! There are those crunchy, orange worm things! I think they’re in season now.
And of course, you should always buy food in season. It just tastes better.

After this, ponder the incarnation
Ordinary Spouse shared this conversation that she had with Youngest Daughter…
YD: Do you know what “consisted” means?
OS: Yes, it means what things are made out of. Like the cookie dough consisted of flour, butter and chocolate chips.
YD: God made people out of dirt, right?
OS: Yes.
YD: Dirt is made out of poo, right?
OS: Yes.
YD: So people are made of poo?
OS: Um, yes. Recycled poo with God’s breath blown in to make us alive.
A wedding and its aftermath
Recently, Ordinary Spouse had our slowly aging wedding video transferred from VHS to DVD. Yesterday, she was watching with Oldest Daughter and Youngest Daughter. Said OD upon seeing her grandma (OS’s mom) with her mid-90′s puffier hairdo:
She’s all styled for the occasion!
And at the end YD added the postscript:
And then, three babies came out!
Butter! (Butter, butter, butter!)
We’ve just finished supper – sweet potato soup with yogurt and cranberry bread – both lovingly made from scratch by my Extraordinary Spouse. (Yum!) Youngest Daughter is the last child at the table. She has finished her food, and her plate is empty…
YD: Butter, butter, butter! I’d like some butter!
o(m): How are you going to eat the butter? You don’t have anything to put it on.
YD: Just find a way to get it in my mouth!
Just overheard: MD’s joke
Ordinary Spouse just emailed me this joke that Middle Daughter made up this morning:
Q: In the year 2000, what did the 2000 penny say to the 2002 penny?
A: You don’t make cents!
‘Y’ words
Just overheard…
Youngest Daughter: Yes! You!
Ordinary Mommy: Do you know any other ‘Y’ words?
YD: Xylophone!
Signs of fall: pumpkin pie
Ordinary Spouse and Youngest Daughter made pumpkin pie from scratch today.
According to OS, the pumpkin itself tasted pretty bland. However, she added plenty of cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, allspice, ginger, and sugar. Then everything tasted great!
Nevertheless, YD still didn’t care for the pie, although she loved the cool whip. According to her…
This pumpkin pie is too fussy for this conchatation.
Just in case you didn’t understand, she clarified…
That means I don’t like it.
Talking to myself
Usually, I quote my girls. Today, I quote me!
“Sometimes you just want to get nowhere, and you want to get there slowly.”
“When your only tool is a twist tie, every problem looks like a bread wrapper.”
“I play the Mennonite game, and I play to win.”
