September Misc

Because of graduate school...things that I would typically blog about separately are just going to have to be grouped together and captioned (rather than having a story written about them).  I'd rather get the memories down in print....than not ever put them in my blog book because I don't have time to do the story justice.  I should be done with school in the next year...so then I can get back to my "normal" blog routine.  Until then...enjoy the random days where you check my blog and find that I have suddenly posted a million pics :)

Car Conversations

The conversations in our car lately have mainly been about passing cars.  These are the sayings we hear over and over every car ride....

"Cool car" - 2 door sports cars or antique car

"Cheesecake" (or Kee-kay as Bri says it) - yellow cars

"Slug bug" - VW bug

"Slug bug. Slug cake. Cheesecake" - yellow VW bug

"Cool car.  Cool cake.  Cheesecake." - yellow cool car

"Cool car. Jackpot!" - more than one cool car

"Rotten cheesecake" - poop green car

"Cool car. Cool cake. Cheesecake.  Jinks.  Blackout. Cool car.  Cool cake Cheesecake.  Barrett. Barrett. Barrett!" - when both boys say it at the same time, one will says "Jinks. Blackout!" and then say it again...but I guess when you say "Blackout" you're not allowed to talk until someone says your name 3 times...so after the brother gets points for the car in question...he'll say the "Blacked out" brothers name 3 times.

"Cool car. No take backs!" - this goes too far for me...so if I hear "no take backs" then I say, "You lose! We don't allow take backs in this car."  I told them that whoever calls it first gets the point...you can't say "take back" and then say it again and you steal their point.  That just annoys me.  I can handle all the other random shout outs...but take backs create fights...so I put an end to that one.

So if Bri's riding with you and suddenly shouts out "Kee-Kay!"...she's just trying to win a game (that she doesn't really understand yet!)
