Things I get to Say, #1,567

Things I literally said today:

“Please stop demonstrating lemur fighting techniques at the dinner table.”

“We do not throw away gyro meat. That’s as close as I get to a religious taboo.”

“Is that music, or is someone trapped in the restroom and signaling for help?”

Time (f)lies

Little Miss Thing, age 6: “We haven’t be to Jiffy Treet in over a year. I keep track.”

Me: “I don’t think it’s been a year. How do you keep track?”

LMT: “I have a big sheet of paper.”

Me: “Can I see it?”

LMT: (pause) “OK, I don’t track it. But it does SEEM like a year.”
