The Love

We were watching "The Legend of Korra" with the kids the other day and we got to an intense part where one of the characters betrays the guy who loves her.  Gordon said, "I knew she was faking the love!"

The H Is Silent

Linda was reading riddles from a book and the kids and I were trying to guess the answers. She read through a couple which referenced elephants and I passively answered "elephino" to one of them, simply making reference to that popular riddle. Nobody seemed to catch on, so after Linda had read a few more I told the kids I was surprised they hadn't heard this one and asked them, "What do you get if you cross an elephant and a rhino?" They made a few wrong guesses until finally Mia, who must have heard me earlier but hadn't really processed what she heard, said, "helephino?"

Sealed

I was watching Annie with the kids and we got to the part where Daddy Warbucks got Annie back and they were all so happy.  Gordon looked at me and said, "Are they going to get sealed together?"  I asked him, "What did you say?" Gordon said, "Are they going to go to the temple and get sealed?"

Rodeo

We went to the rodeo tonight.  The announcer said it was time to get ready for bare back.  Ellis perked up and said, "Bear Back?"

They Pay You to do That?

I have been substituting all week in Ellis' class because his teacher had knee surgery.  Yesterday I was talking to Gordon and Ellis about how I need to check in at the office so I can get paid.  Gordon stopped in his tracks and said, "Wait.  They pay you to substitute!? I always thought you did it for free!"

Ellis said, "I always thought you paid them to let you substitute."

I asked Ellis why he thought I paid them to let me substitute and he said, "Well, You are using their building."

Sickness Business

Gordon stayed home sick today. Linda was substituting, so he was instructed to call me (as my work offers more freedom) if he needed anything. I was just coming out of a meeting when I noticed I had a voice message. Here it is:

Voice Message

I guess he's all business when he calls dad at work.

Acne Agony

Mia has a small pimple in her eyebrow.  We were talking about it and Mia said, "Oh no! I have acne!" 

Gordon said, "You have agony?"

We all started to laugh and Ellis was in the back saying, "Agony...annie...it's agny!"
