More things I've heard.

Yesterday I posted about some things that I'd heard around me. I've got a couple more today.

Last Friday we were in our big ol' 'Murrican truck listening to the radio on my Dad's pet speaker system. One of the politicians was on there talking about tax cuts etc. For some reason he found it necessary to say, "Everything is on the table. Nothing has been taken off the table." Really? REALLY? Please tell me I'm not the only one thinking, Department of redundancy department...  PLEASE.  It saddens me that this guy is a big shot politician who is helping run America. I think that that little slip could have been missed had he said something else along with it, but no. Those two sentences were the ENTIRE statement.

Now, today we went out for lunch. We were sitting there and my Dad was giving me crap because I called a stuffed animal a plushie. Its just a name, but he went on this tirade about how I became too cool to just call them stuffed animals anymore. No, I'm sorry its just a name. It means nothing more than its something else to call the thing. After that, he pointed to my little sister and kept going on about how when you're her age you can like stuffed animals and its okay, but at my age its just stupid. Then my sister piped up and said that she still liked stuffed animals/plushies.  Dad then lost his entire argument because me and mom were too busy laughing at him from there on out.  He goes, "Well you're still your age!"  Yup. She is still her age, I'm still my age, and you're still your age.

Lesson for today, be careful what you say. The most unassuming thing can be remembered for ages and make a larger impact on people's thoughts than you could ever imagine.

Bye my little Chickies!
