The other day I was rushing around as usual in the morning, getting ready for work, and asked R1 if she had everything she wanted ready to take to the sitters for the day. She asked to take the Robot movie with her. (this is an animated musical DVD that is really neat to watch. You can check out the Animusic Videos here: http://www.animusic.com/ She's been mesmerized by both of these DVD's since we bought them when she was about 1 year old.)
Anyhoo...I went and grabbed the one that has been her favorite and tossed it in the bag of items that was to go with us to the sitters for the day. She seemed concerned that maybe I didn't grab the correct one because she asked,
"What one did you get, Mommy?"
I told her that I got her favorite one. To which she replied,
"But I want the oneth one."
"The what one?"
"The ONETH one."
"Oh, you mean the FIRST one."
"Yeah, the first one." (while holding up one finger) "Make sure you got that one."
I absolutely LOVE talking to kids. The English language is so complex to teach. But hey, she's getting the idea!

BBQ Rules
This was sent to me in an e-mail from a friend. I found it so truthful and funny, I had to share it with all of you.
B B Q RULES
We are about to enter the summer and BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking activity, as it's the only type of cooking a 'real' man will do, probably because there is an element of danger involved.
When a man volunteers to do the BBQ the following chain of events are put into motion:
Routine...
(1) The woman buys the food.
(2) The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert.
(3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill - beer in hand.
Here comes the important part:
(4) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.
More routine.....
(5) The woman goes inside to organize the plates and cutlery.
(6) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is burning. He thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he deals with the situation.
Important again:
(7) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.
More routine....
(8) The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces, and brings them to the table.
(9) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.
And most important of all:
(10) Everyone PRAISES and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts.
(11) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed 'her night off.' And, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no pleasing some women....
