The Sunday Funnies

Kamala Harris was offering her first speech as Vice President-Elect and shattering a glass ceiling.  Dorothy walked through the room, and I stopped her and said, "Look.  That's the new Vice President that we elected."  I was having an emotional moment, and Dorothy took it all in, and came up with, "She's pretty."

Dorothy's bed was overflowing with stuffed animals and I started to take some out as I tucked her in.  "No!" she said.  "They voted and they want to stay in the bed."

I hope my Groundhog Day is November 7

The Sunday Funny

 On Halloween night a lady was dressed for Dia de los Muertos.  Dorothy generally doesn't like skeletons, so I pointed her out and said, "Look, she's dressed for the Day of the Dead."  "That's tomorrow," Dorothy replied with concern.

Dorothy bought some Lego tape and made a carrot growing through the table

The Sunday Funnies

Dorothy posed in front of a scary Halloween yard decoration; Brian took her picture and then said, "Now turn around and look scared."  "I don't have to look scared," Dorothy answered.  "I am scared."

Dorothy picked-up a pack of my cinnamon gum and asked if she could have a piece; I said yes.  "Isn't there gonna be an 'if' in there?" she sassed.  "Like, if you put on your shoes?"

The instructions on Dorothy's worksheet read:  Draw an X on the triangles.  "I didn't know that Xx is a vowel," she said.  "What do you mean?" I asked.  "It says an Xx," Dorothy explained.

Dorothy asked me why mama birds can eat food on their own, even though, like their babies, they don't have teeth.
