A little toot joke for a Tuesday evening

Once again, I am writing something random and ridiculous when I should be writing about all the meaningful moments I've missed in the blog so far this summer. Oh well, I'll get to that later.

We've had a lot of toot jokes flying around, lately. I have no idea where the girls got the idea that talking and singing about tooting is hilarious...ahem.

But tonight takes the cake, I think. Kevin went up to tell Nellie (who was in bed) about the Alex Avila grand slam. The girls had been very noisy and giggly, so it was time for a visit, anyway. While he was up there, Nellie said to him (you have to imagine it in a sugary sweet professional voice, like a flight attendant):

"Hi, I'm Nellie from toots dot com. If you go to our website, toots dot com, you can order a new bottom, and all your toots will smell like daisies and rainbows!"

I don't even know how to follow that up, except to say that the grown-ups had a good laugh about that one. I guess we do appreciate a good toot joke now and then.

The girls, regarding boys

Annie: All the boys like me. They all think I'm pretty.
Me: Oh yeah? What boys like you?
Annie: All the boys at camp.
Me: How can you tell they like you?
Annie: They all stand near me.
Me: Maybe they think you're nice. Boys don't just care if you're pretty, they like girls who are nice.
Nellie: Yeah, and we're going to grow up, and get tons of valentines, then get married, and have tons of babies, and the girls are going to grow up and get tons of valentines. It's part of the Life Circle.

So. There you have it, if you're been wondering how it works.
