I kept commenting on Facebook today.
I can't tell you why. It's not my normal pattern.
But there was the computer and the facebook page
and a few moments, and ZING! I sent this mundane
trivia out there for all the world to see. Like it was
important and they needed to see it.
But just this once.
Just for a day.
It's not like a habit or anything.
I'm not going to do it all the time.
Not like my kids and all that.
Just between you and me, though,
it was a great way to record
the amusing moments of the day
before we had to make dinner
and wash the dishes,
and manage the chaos,
and spend the evening,
and do all that family stuff
without forgetting we actually did have
a few funny moments today.
Here's what just HAD to be said:
*****
I''ve just spent ten minutes describing what a rotary phone was
and how to use it. I've never seen a more confused group of
children. Then it dawned on them...."OH!! LIKE IN THE MOVIES!!"
Fact of the day, the push button phone was presented on this day in 1963.

(Just in case you needed to know.) (And aren't you glad they figured that
out BEFORE they invented cell phones? THAT could have been amusing!)
*****
I'm still smiling over yesterday's best mispronunciation
during reading time. Financial backer was guessed to be
a "Frangular Buchaneer". Love it!
*****
One child is exceedingly sad, tears and all, because two of her
siblings are "moving out of the castle." Another is in the shop
trying to make knitting needles out of two sticks of wood.
No, I CAN'T tell you why. I don't KNOW why.
(Barry says, "Are knitting needles THAT expensive?")
****
And just one more from a daughter, and I quote,
"I think I took this smoothly and rationally...."
(That, of course, was Amy.

Who else?!)
