Hey, I like that game!


I'm sitting in my room, when the six year old I live with comes in, takes a glance at the tabletop chess game I have in the corner, and asks 'why do you have that game set up?'

I said, 'it's my chess table, and I have played it a couple times lately, so I have it out.'

'Oh! I like chest!' she retorts. 'Chest is one of my favorite games!'

'It's chess,' I corrected her, 'not chest. There's no 't.' ' Holding back laughter, and the urge to ask her how to play the game.

I used special colors...


Alright, I'm trying this...again...again...again. I have failed miserably thus far at keeping up my blog, which is sad, because there is so much potential. Everyday I encounter things living with another family that make me laugh, sigh, groan, or just plain roll my eyes. This particular one was a laugh. A rather big laugh.

The picture you see is one that the six year old girl I live with drew. We were finishing up lunch the other day when her mom came in, held up the picture, and asked if we'd looked at it. Laughing, she explained to us that her little girl, upon showing it to her, explained that she had "picked special colors for the hole." We all joined her in laughing as we looked at the picture, chuckling not only at the carefully drawn anatomical details, but also at the bird footed claws. Oh, and in case you were wondering, the yellow highlighter line all over the page is pee. The kitty happened to be peeing in the picture as well. :) After all, it's just another part of life, right?
