Are You Smarter Than A Six-Year-Old?

Audrey (from the back seat of the car): "Mom, I feel a little sick and I even threw up a little in my mouth but it didn't come all the way up it only came up to my uvula but not past that it's a good thing it only came up to my uvula and not out of my mouth all over the van but I swallowed it down maybe my uvula stopped it from coming out."

Me (driving, scratching my head trying to figure out what a 'uvula' is): "Yeah, it's a good thing. What did you say you think stopped it from coming out?"

Audrey: "My uvula."

Me: "Oh. Yeah. Good thing."

At this point I'm pretty sure she is referring to that hangy thing in the back of her throat, but she is famous for mispronunciation, and I adore it so I hardly ever correct her, unless I think she's going to be embarrassed by it someday (I was thinking this could be one of those times).

For example, this is a 'molder cycle':

And this is a 'booby':

And up until recently, this was a 'rooth':

Well, I didn't want to correct her without knowing what the real word is, so I waited until we got home to look it up.

Turns out, that little hangy thing in the back of your throat is called a uvula and she learned it in Kindergarten.

I'll never underestimate her again.

View From The Beach

Here is our view from about 20 miles away of the Space Shuttle Endeavour launch last night. It was really spectacular.

To compare, there was a full moon:

And the shuttle:

I also got to catch up with my first college roomie that I have not seen in almost 15 years....Did I just say FIFTEEN? Oye. People who talk like that are old. It was fun getting caught up after all that time. Hopefully it won't be another 15 years before we get together again.

Movie Review

Fun movie. Loved the music as usual. Gabriela and Troy had some real chemistry going in this one. ☺
Jackson, Sadie and I had the theater to ourselves - except for the cute geriatric lovebirds in the back. ♥

Off subject: I just discovered the 'compose' tab on this posting page.
How sad is that?

About as sad as my infatuation with High School Musical...

Daddy's Boy

Every day around 4:45, Justin can be found pacing the driveway, waiting to hear the rumble of the truck coming down the road.

Madam President

Highlights of our quick visit to Disney on Saturday (2 parks in 4 hours):

While riding on the tram to get to our car to go home, Audrey leaned over and whispered in my ear, "If I decide to run for president, my first job is going to be the rule 'No More Doing Drugs'."

I said, "Good Idea."

Then she said, "And no re-piercing" as she stared straight at a girl sitting facing us with about 28 earrings in each ear.

And then there was this:


This NEVER happens. I mean it. NEVER. So it had to be documented.

And the new Toy Story ride was very cute!
