Here's to the Ladies Who Lunch

I received a gift assortment of hot chocolates for my birthday, and we've been doing tastings each night. Pictured here: raspberry hot chocolate

 

The Sunday Funnies

We were watching a YouTube video called "Jelle's Marble Runs."  The set-up is a course for a marble run, filmed and narrated as though you're watching a live sporting event.  There are even stands full of fans (marbles).  It's surprisingly engaging.  At the end of a series of races, the marbles ascended stairs in stop-motion, carrying a tealight Olympic torch, up to the winner's podium.  "They must be so proud," Dorothy observed.

Dorothy likes soft-boiled eggs, and the eggs we usually buy are brown.  We happened to buy white eggs, and when I picked-up an egg and cracked it, Dorothy said, "I thought those eggs were already peeled!"

Dorothy appeared in the living room from bed.  "If I had three people in my heart, Willa would have one-quarter of my heart, you would have one quarter and one-half of one quarter of my heart, and Dad would have one quarter and one-half of one quarter of my heart."

Dorothy is sort of anxious by nature.  Now that she's reading, I keep having to play-down the warnings on all her objects -- the toys, her bicycle, the inside of her helmet.  The helmet should not be used for climbing or diving.

Dorothy's art class was looking at a painting depicting a baptism in a river.  "The person is walking into the water to be baptized," the teacher said.  Dorothy was surprised, so I added that at some baptisms, instead of pouring water over the head, people will be baptized in a river or big tub.  "And they already could walk?" she asked.

Overheard:  "Star light, star bright, second and third stars I've seen tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, have this wish I wish tonight."

Dorothy complained, "I hate it when I get water up my eyes."

Dorothy heard that Hank Aaron died, and I explained that he was a famous baseball player who set a homerun record, and that he lived until he was 86.  I then had to explain a home run record.  "Well, at least he did that, right?" she replied.

We all dressed-up for a "fancy dinner" at home.  Dorothy and I were wearing high heels; they were approximately the same height.  She said, "Look, the points on our shoes are the same."
