Notable Quotes and a quickie
My daughter to her little brothers:
‘You guys are just impossible!’
‘No! We’re not guys! He’s a cat and I’m an “Uglyworm.”’
My son – after a long, tortuous and circular argument:
‘I am Mister Understood.’
At breakfast, before I am truly awake:
‘You may wish to get some more cereal from the garage, the choice is a bit lean.’ He doesn’t move but continues to stare at the cupboard. I watch him and try again, with far too many words, ‘I’m sure there’s some new packets out there, pretty thin pickings in here.’ He remains rooted to the spot as he slopes into a 65 degree angle with his cheeks sucked in, although its unlikely to make him any skinnier.

I had never heard of an Uglyworm until now, but reading the info on it makes that quote all the funnier (and a little scary lol). Jen.

LOL Yes, those boys do get Mister Understood, but your blog is an awesome means of communicating some of that literalness to the rest of the world. You brought a smile to my face this morning!

LOL! I can relate to your son…I so often feel Mister Understood. Though, in my case, I suppose that would be Miss Understood?

Eeek! You had me worried for a moment there so I double checked the link at the top of the post and fortunately it’s still quite safe and goes to the Uglydoll site!
