We need to write these things down

We haven't posted one of these in a while. A sampling of somewhat funny things I've said recently!

File this one under the heading of My Dad Talks Too Much About Trees. "I was brushing my teeth the other night and inside the medicine cabinet I saw some of Mom's make-up and face cleaning supplies, so I asked Dad, "Why does Mom have all those cottonwood balls?" [cotton balls]

Random question while out on a walk the other night: "Why do dogs smell each other's butts?"

We stop at McDonald's about once a week to get a soda for Dad (and sometimes Mom) and waters for the kids. We rarely actually go into the restaurant. While waiting in the drive-thru a few weeks ago, I asked in a surprised voice, "Dad, do they have lunch here?!" And that was the magic question that triggered Mom and Dad to admit that, indeed, there is food at McDonald's.

Three months ago we got a new neighbor next door. She's about 65 and single. I guess that struck me as strange because I asked Dad, "When is Annette going to get a dad?"

While getting ready for bed recently, Dad was telling me that it would probably be a good day to wear pants the following day. I told him I wanted a tank top and shorts. He said, "Nope! Because I know the weather for tomorrow." I replied, "No you don't! The phone knows the weather!"

[We often ask Siri for the forecast]

On the way to school earlier this week:
John: "Uh! Ahh!"
Tess: "What is it John?"
John: "Ahh!"
Tess: "Well is it a bird or a tree?"
John: "Ahh!"
Tess: "A bird? Or a tree?"
John: "Ahh!"
Tess: "Ooooh! That's neat."
