?

connor: we will never be free.

me: why is that?

connor: because the spanish think we're a bunch of geeks.


try to explain that one. i dare you.

smoking

based on some comments she had made, i felt it necessary to clarify to fiona that although smoking is bad, smokers are not bad people. connor wanted to help me out, "yeah, most smokers are actually quite cheery."

notes

parent teacher conferences

me: so, there is a rule about not writing and passing notes, but it has become a problem lately that i wanted to make you aware of.

sommer's mom: sommer, did you know there is a rule about that?

sommer: no (which is totally untrue, by the way)

sommer's mom: well, now that you know that there is a rule, what will you do the next time someone passes you a note?

sommer: i'll read it and write back...i'll just be more careful now.

weirdo

a story by mikaela:

the people in my class!
there are 26 people in my class. some of the people in my class are weardos. for example, sophie, she is weard and funny. another werdo in my class is fiona. she is a wedo because she stares at miss a, altho that's creapy. another wedo in my class is mollie, she is weard because at recess she says "hug, hug, hug" and tries to hug boys. there are people in my class that are strange, like michael, he is strang because he wants girls to chase him, and well, usually the boy tries to escape the girl and be left alown with the other boys. another strang person is carson, he is strang because, well, i can't really name things that are strang about carson because everything he does is weard. well that is *all the weard and strang people in my class.


(*actually there are many more weard and strang people in our class, but i told mikaela she didn't have time to write a novel.)


and a gem from connor:

a funky funky storie
hello, i am connor. i was born in 1582. today is father's day. my son got me an ipod. his name is dodo. my wife got me a mustange. she is also my daughter. we got in my mustange and went to mcdonalds. i downloaded the blackeyed peas new cd on my ipod. that was the best father's day ever.


(nothing says funky like a daughter-wife)
