Conversation 1: After replacing the disposal and everything working great, I started up a load of dishes in the dishwasher. Once the load was done I emptied it out and realized that the dishwasher had water on the bottom and it didn't drain out. "Dan, on Curious George," yes, that's right as in the PBS children's show, "George didn't rinse the food off the dishes before he started up a load and it didn't drain. Could there be something stuck in the pipes?" Has my life lead down the path of comparing a cartoon monkey to real life?!?
Conversation 2: While having a quiet family dinner at TacoTime a "gentleman" sitting three booths behind us asked an innocent question about the score on the TV. The conversation continued and went something like this. Keep in mind that he is three booths away in a crowded fast food place with the radio and the TV on---
"Are those your kids?"
"Yes, they are." We turn back around and continue eating.
"How old are they?" We answer him and turn back around.
"I have you beat. I have a 5 month at home and a 21 year old." Polite smiles and turn back around.
"Are you the mom of both of them?" As he looks right at me and yes, we are still three booths away.
"Yes, they are both mine." As I begin putting my kids' coats on and picking up our trays.
"Are you going to have anymore?" Polite smiles continue and pretend we are overly-occupied.
"Now that I see them closer she looks just like her daddy and your son looks a bit like you."
Oh, boy! I'm relieved that Deputy D.N.A. approved and we could finally scuttle out the door. Seriously people.
