Did I tell you about the zoo?

Thw princess and the captain went to the Bronx Zoo today on a school trip. First stop was the reptile house to see Mia the recently escaped snake. They were also hoping the see if the escaped pea hen had returned.

Shades of Miss Scarlett

My little fashionista was at it again. This time she was reminiscent of Carol Burnett's parody of Scarlett O'Hara (Went with the wind). We'd purchased fuscia blackout curtains for her room which she really didn't care for. She suggested I take them down and she'd make a dress with them. When I took them down and she decided to wear them, rods and all. No time for pics unfortunately. All I could think of that skit from the Carol Burnett show(which is on YouTube).

Contractions

The princess had a spelling test last week. All the words were contractions. The bonus words were "Could've, should've, would've. The princess responses were "coulda,shoulda, woulda.

She doesn't feel the bonus worlds are much of a bonus as their value is 1pt. The regular words are worth 8.33 pts. You can see what she studies. LOL

The dentist's new office

In the waiting area of the pediatric dentist office there is a tv, video game and a crane(the claw) machine. The children get tokens after their visit. They still get toothbrushes,toothpaste and a prize from the treasure chest.

Bon Jovi 25 years later

The captain treated me to a Bon Jovi concert at NVMC this past weekend. The show was teriffic from the opening song Lost Highway to the final encore Living on a Prayer. I'd last seen them live during their Slippery When Wet Tour. I have pics someplace of JBJ in a harness singing Living on a Prayer, wish I could find them.

Jon and the boys minus Richie Sambora did not disapoint. Phil X did an adequate job filling in. They played fan favorites for well over two hours. There were a few college guys sitting next to us playing air guitar for most of the show. I told them last time I'd seen the band was before they were born.

The technology has changed over the years but the music is still great. Can't wait to see what they do next.

More things my daughter says

My darling daughter, the princess, has been on a tear of late in regards to the things that come out of her mouth.

Case in point today I received a note from her teacher,whom I pray for everyday. The contents were as follows "we were reading a story about a signmaker. The follow up activity was for the students to make their own signs. She said she was going to make a sign that said "Be Naked". When she was told it was inappropriate her response was that it was funny. Seriously, how does one respond to that and try to keep composed ?

Yesterday while working in the garden,she asked her grandmother if she would leave her the house when she dies. grandma told her she was leaving it to the pussycat home.

I overheard her say it and was flabbergasted. When mom told me later I just put my head down in shame,for a brief moment and realized my daughter just comes from a long line of smart asses but i can't exactly say that to her teacher, or can I ?
