Tayler denied that she didn't eat a candy bar, except, the candy bar was uneaten on the kitchen counter.

"I ate it!" she said.

"Yeah," Micke said, "And some how you ate it and it reappeared. It's a kind of magic."

A moment later, Micke was playing around with the XBox and a video came on.

"What's this?"

Before Micke could answer, the video started, "It's a kind of magic!"

I laughed so hard.

The kids were quoting Jason from Home Movies in the episode where he talks about cheese making him constipated, and that sometimes he has to help himself go while making a hand gesture towards his bottom.

"Jason is gross," Tyler said.

"I would not want to shake hands with him," Tayler said.

"Well, you wouldn't have to because he isn't real," Tyler said.

Today Bill called and I didn't answer fast enough so I called him back while we were driving home from a Girl Scout function. I didn't even know it was him, since he has a new number now.

Tyler got on the phone with him and started talking with him and broached the subject of adoption. Bill told Tyler it would mean he would never get to see her again, which is simply not true. Bill's visitation would still stand.

Bill told Tyler, "You'll have to convince me."

Tyler handed the phone over to Tayler, clearly annoyed, and not wanting to talk anymore.

Bill asked to talk with Tyler again. Tyler motioned no.

Tayler said, "She's doesn't... she's motioning like she's taking a bath."

A quote right out of Home Movies with Brenden Small. The whole car exploded with laughter.

Yesterday, after a wonderful lunch and a movie date, Amie and I said goodbye to Kelly (who was off to see a bunch of girls on skates fight to the death or whatever), and we got into my car.

"Wait a minute!" Amie said. "Where are we?"

I paused, and for a split second, I forgot where we were. I hadn't slept at all the night before. (If you're a regular reader, you already knew that.) My mind started to work a second later, and I was thinking of all of the possible answers, Columbus, Ohio, Easton, by Abuelo's, in my car.

Instead, I said, "What?"

"Are we near a..." Amie started to rifle through her purse, "a... a..."

I started to fill in the blanks with nearby stores.

All of them were wrong.

"A book store?" she said.

"Barnes and Noble?"

"YES!" she said.

"YES!" I said.

"Can we go there?"

"YES!"

All this time the car was in reverse, and I had my foot on the clutch and the brake, all ready to back out. I was giving all of the right signals to a parking lot lurker, and yet, I wasn't backing out until I said that final YES.

I backed out, and saw in the rear view mirror that there was a man in a silver Mazda behind me making some exaggerated hand motions and mouthing words I couldn't understand, no doubt, about the fact that I had taken my sweet time to vacate my parking spot.

Really? 194 mph?

We were surprised to see the weather report for Monday last Sunday night.

Tayler said something funny which I don't recall- it was a mispronunciation of a word I think that was really hilarious.

"Mom," she said, while I was laughing, "Please don't put that on your blog."

The twins have their friends over who happen to be twins as well.

They're playing Apples to Apples.

The card is Religious.

The kids put in

• Republicans
• Muhammad Ali
• French Wines

The whole table of girls exploded into laughter. And not about the french wines.

I love that the kids spontaneously break into song all at the same time. Having twins over is fun for the twins.

The kids woke me up this morning, singing, "She's a lady, whoa whoa whoa, she's a lady!"

Have you ever known someone with an infectious laugh?
