Ben the Joker

The other night, Ben and I had to stop at Old Navy to exchange some swim trunks for Gord. When we got to the checkout, Ben asked the employee what her name was, then he went on to tell her that she had a really nice piggy bank by her till - it was a blue shiny metallic piggy bank. The rest of the conversation goes like this:
"____, what do pigs write with?"
"I don't know Ben."
"Pig pens!"
(she chuckles)
"____, how do scissors say goodbye?"
"How?"
"Snip ya later!"
(more chuckling)
"Where do cows go to see art?"
"Where?"
"A moooo-seum!"
(laughter, by her and I)
I asked him where he was getting all of these jokes from, and he told the employee that he has Chirp magazine at home - and she said that she did too! It all makes sense now, where he was getting the jokes from...

It was just so funny and cute - I'm sure she told her friends and coworkers about the little boy who told her jokes that night!

Withdrawal

So the Olympic cauldron probably isn't even cooled down yet, and I'm in withdrawal already. What will we do with ourselves, if we're not talking about the Olympics, watching them on TV, checking the internet (at work too...sshhhh!)?

I guess I'll have to watch the Bachelor. :)

What an amazing week the Canadian athletes had. A huge finish to the games. Man, I am a proud Canadian! The athletes are so inspiring and a great example to all of us.

Changing topics now (kind of) - do you like the new blog header?

The kids love their new shirts - and the shirts are lucky! I bought them yesterday, so they could wear them while we watched the hockey game. Before US scored their first goal, Ella put her favorite princess dress on over top of the shirt. Then the US scored and scored again. About 13 minutes into the OT period, Ella decided to take off the dress, and Crosby scored. Coincidence? I think not!
