Or... Random Things Overheard the Past Several Days That Have Made Me Lose My Shit
**********************************************************************
Thursday Morning at High Holy Days Children's Services
Rabbi about to blow the Shofar (ram's horn): Hey, kids, I brought the big one this morning.

Last Night with the Swimmy
The Swimmy and I were going to make Pigs in a Blanket with hot dogs and refrigerator crescent rolls. I asked The Swimmy not to open the rolls until it was time to wrap up said dogs. She didn't listen -- natch. The cannister popped and the rolls were destroyed, annoying me to no end.
"Go to your room until you can come back and listen to Mommy."
[Sniff, sniff] "Okay."
1 minute later...
[Teary eyed] "Sorry, Mommy. Can we still make Pigs in a Bwanket?"
"No. The blankets are broken and can't be used."
"Oh. Well, can we make Pigs in a Sheet instead?"

This Morning Before Leaving for the Grocery Store
"Swimmy? You got your shoes on?"
"Yep. Let's do this."
