one of the teachers here just gestured wildly and hit herself in the face.

i love life!

the other one that's crazy just walked past me and said one word: "headache" and rolled her eyes.

kidspeak...vol. 2

three boys playing in a playground sandbox. 6 years old, 3 years old, 3 years old. two out of the three are playing a game of tag called "zing!" one plays in the sand.

3 yr. old: i'm getting tired of playing this.

6 yr. old: then i'll play with my little brother.

3 yr. old: where is he?

6 yr. old: (points to the other 3 yr. old playing)
he's that kid.

to the woman that just spoke to me,

this was an interesting interaction we had. i knew if i looked up from my computer screen, something great would happen and it did. you totally fulfilled my expectations. i don't know if the randomness of it all can be captured, but i will share it with the world. here is the transcript.


lady: never have three jobs.

me: no, that's too many...

lady: well, i actually have four jobs. i have three jobs and my own projects. i do my own project.

me: oh yeah.

lady: yeah, i run a website, a news-...um, a news-...it's like cnn. so there's that and my other boss has a brain tumor, so...

me: ...so there's a lot going on.

lady: yeah.
