booger truck

Ava: Chair
Me: Chair who?
Ava: Chair...ummmm....dog

We have discovered knock knock jokes at our house. We tell them in the car, at Wal-Mart, in the shower, in the tub, at the table, anywhere you might think of. I think they are a little bit more funny because she tries so hard to come up with a punchline. She has no idea that it is supposed to make a little sense, but I guess that will come with time. You know when she gets that book of knock knock jokes from the school book order thing. I am ready for many more years of those darn good jokes.

Yesterday we had to take our new van to the Honda dealership in Franklin. I had to drop off our old title and there was a slight glitch with one of the sliding doors. What was supposed to take 5 minutes to fix, ended up taking 3 hours! I thought I was going to go out of my mind being stuck at a car dealership for 3 hours with a three year old!! Sadly, Ava's behavior was much better than my own. She played in the playroom and told knock knock jokes for hours. I on the other hand wanted to cuss and kick everyone that worked there. Don't get me wrong, they were very nice and helpful. I am just hormonal and impatient. Everything worked out in the end. My door was fixed and we were on our way.
Sometimes I need to remind myself that I should just be thankful instead of impatient.

Warning! Warning! Warning!




I must do my good deed for the day. I have to warn my dearest readers about a mistake I made yesterday. I almost killed myself in Target parking lot. Yes, I know, Target parking lot might be an ideal place to die, that is if you like Target as much as I do, but not even I want to meet my sweet lord at Target. I could think of places much better than that.

Anywho, while I was wandering the aisles of Target, I thought I better get a few road trip snacks for when we go on vacation. I always get the Archer Farms snacks for our trips to Florida. I'm not sure why, it just kind of my own personal weirdo tradition, I'm sure you have some of those traditions as well. I get 2 or 3 bags of Asian Rice Cracker and chocolate chip trail mix. Now, the reality of me keeping a bag of rice crackers unopened until the trip is unrealistic, so in typical fashion, I opened a bag as soon as I got to the car. I got my first handful and put them in my mouth. I am usually a little careful not to get too many of the wasabi covered crackers (the green ones) but this time, I just wasn't paying enough attention. Well, the first bite was nice, but the second bite was when I saw my short life go down the drain. It was a wasabi cracker that had waaaaaayyy toooooo much wasabi on it. ( If you're not familiar with wasabi, it is Japanese horseradish.) If you have ever eaten too big of a bite of American horseradish, you will know what I am talking about. I felt a rush of hot something blow through my nose and throat and I started to choke. It was so hot, it made me puke all over myself! I couldn't catch my breath and thought I was going to croak right there on the spot. Fortunately, I had gone to Kohls right before I went to Target because someone told me that they had some "cute" maternity clothes. They did and I had bought a cute little dress. So, I then had to climb to the back of the van and change clothes in the middle of Target parking lot. I recovered enough to make it to Toys R Us and Old Navy. So, here's you're warning. If you much try Archer Farms Asian Rice Crackers, watch out for the green ones!
