Conversations






Me: This site says to do 50 jumping jacks before you take a shower every day, plus some other ish.
S: What are Jumping Jacks? Like Star Jumps?
Me: Star jumps? Jumping jacks look like this
 ::::demonstrates a jumping jack::::
S: That is a star jump
Me: Or a jumping jack
S:who says jack jumps?
Me: its more likely that Jack jumps than a star...stars don't jump, they shoot...across the skye...and probably can’t jump..because of like gravity.
S: You make a star SHAPE when you do the jump...
Me: That’s a bit of a stretch.


Me: So when we get to California again, remember you can't tell people you hate coriander*
S: It is SO gross. I hate it.
Me: They won't let you through the border if you hate it. It's like, Southern California’s herb mascot. 

*coriander=cilantro


Me: Hey look I'm using my fork and knife and you are using your hands! We switched culinary cultures!
S: KNIFE AND FORK. not fork and knife.
Me: That is stupid. There is no right way to talk about utensils. 
S: You always say knife and fork.
Me: fork and knife
S: It sounds like your saying f*ckn knife
Me: oh.

S: I very nearly let out a fart there and then I remembered the rule about no farting while we are eating.
Me: Thank you for your level of dedication and self control.

S: That fella has some neck on him doesn't he?
Me: who?
S: That Giraffe
Me: Good one...

S: I just washed all of those dishes and it only took me 7 minutes. So much faster than you.
Me: I am sorry, but I only recently traveled back in time to the stone age. You've been here awhile. 

:::while getting ready one day::
S: are ya on ye yet?
Me: excuse me?
S: are ya on ye yet?
Me: I have no idea what you are saying to me
S: are you puttin clothes on?
Me: that wasn't even remotely close to asking if I was putting clothes on yet.

  3. fork and knife. i read it over and over before continuing on - thinking.. why not fork and knife? then i see his point. that's hilarious!

  4. hahhah so great. you know, i think star jumps are actually a different move than jumping jacks. jillian michaels has them in a work out video. you jump up and extend your hands and feet like the mid-point of a jumping jack (but in the air) and then land with feet together and arms curled in front of you.

  25. I know I've told you this before but I just LOVE the Conversations posts! I can relate to nearly everything and I catch myself thinking "omg we said that too!" haha.. The Star Jumps one caused confusion between my boyfriend and I as well. And the knife and fork thing? He uses a knife and fork to cut his freaking eggs, bacon and even fries! It cracks me up, lol.

  27. bahahahaha - fork & knife = f*ckn knife. =) And... my husband hate cilantro, he thinks it's Satan. That makes me the most sad of everything. Well, that and the fact that he also hates all dairy products except when found in ice cream or pizza.

    and you'd better get on those star jumps! I like that name much better the jumping jacks. =)

    ReplyDelete

  41. OBSESSED. these are by far my favorite posts of yours. I have read all of them, but throughout the day at work I am going to reread them. Tried explaining to my engineer how funny they are... I think I might have to make him read them. :)

    ReplyDelete

  66. Hahahaha! I love these conversations because my Carl and I have had many of them over the past 10 years too. We've definitely had the EXACT same star jump/jumping jacks convo! Also, he likes to fight with me about the way we pronounce aluminum and herb, and I hate how he calls electricity 'leccy' and elastic bands 'lazzies' Seriously? Why not just say the damn word you mean?! Aaaah, Liverpudlians and Irish lads...what would we do without them? ;)

    ReplyDelete

  67. Omg i just laughed so hard ! Fork and knife hahahaha never knew that's the reason behind why we say it like we do Knife and Fork oh deary !
