LOL! She says it will be her pleasure to drive. Although, she is making me take my car out for a spin on Saturday. She's tough.

7. frappuccino

To hit a Chinese Person.

A long time ago, four coffee makers (a Spanish, an English, an Italian, and a French) came together to make a new, SPECTACULARLY wonderful coffee drink. It took quite a long time to think of anything, because they wouldn't agree at all except on one thing; they all couldn't stand chinese people. Eventually, they decided to mix common ingredients from around a household to make their drink. To name it, they did the same thing; Mixed parts from all of their languages. Frappe, in French, is to strike. Chino is Spanish for Chinese. Obviously "a" is English for "a". And, because the Italian had no word to contribute, they agreed to spell it with an Italian flair. They decided their drink would be "to hit a chinese person"... Frappuccino!
Who would wanna Frappuccino? i.e. Who would want to hit a chinese person?

Substitute "obnoxious old ladies" for "chinese" and we almost have the LaGuardia incident.

I have to go there every once in a while to figure out what my kids are saying or writing. We let the Seniors put "nicknames" on the back of their Senior jersey and you wouldn't believe what they try to get away with. They're always surprised when I say "Nice try, but I'm nixing this. Choose another name."

I love how these kids are constantly surprised when we display our knowledge to them, Moony. They really do think we don't know anything.

Sort of like us at their age.

But at least we have the advantage of the internet to find things out much faster than our parents/teachers did, especially when it comes to things like that.

I just did.

"Designated driver"

And my favorite:

"A saddo Buffy/other us tv show fanboy. Also an old geek who fancys ppl like Avril Lavigne and Dawn from Buffy, creepy..."

Who is Avril Lavigne? Dawn from Buffy? I know not of whom they speak.

ACK!!!!!!!!

Funny. Real funny.

Phone conversation in my kitchen last night, as hubby was fixing his plate for dinner:

Framily member: "Alright, sweetheart, I'll talk to you later. I love you, babe."

Me: "Ok, I love you, too, sweets."

Hubby: "You're talking to someone who's gay, right? RIGHT???"

Moony, it's good to keep them on their toes. I hope you told him that I am NOT gay

So much hilarity this morning! Moonie, I was the school newspaper editor in high school, and I cannot believe now some of the stuff that we printed!

Happy Humping Day!
