Teenagers in the 'Hood

Image
The kids were so adorable, watching YouTube videos and laughing together, so I had to take a picture of them. But then Kevin looked dumb so I said, "Try again and this time look cute." Anisa popped up out of nowhere; I didn't even know that she was there. Johnny looks just the same, weird and creepy.

Conversations at the Swanstrom House.

Me: I vacuumed under the couch today. Kevin: What did you find? Me: What makes you think that I found something? Kevin: Oh, You found something! Trust me! Me: OK, I found 6 pencils.... Kevin: Sorry about that. Me: And one Hello Panda. Kevin: Sorry about that. Me: And a whole lot of crumbs. Kevin: And some pretzels? Me: No, that was last time. I've vacuumed since pretzel day. (One day after this conversation, the kids left the cushions so crooked that I had to straighten them and I found a glow stick and a quarter.)

Quote of the Day

"You have such weird taste in music, but I like it." Today's quote is by Kevin Schroeder as I was singing Crash Test Dummies - I Think I'll Disappear Now. "Running into you like this without warning is like catching a sniff of tequila in the morning, but I'll try, try to keep my food down. It's quite an aftertaste that you've left now that you're not around."
