Bedtime conversations
Monday night:
A: Hey! You know what I forgot to do?
D: What?
A: Get my ribbon out and dance around the maypole!
D: The huh? What are you talking about?
A: Today was May Day.
D: Um, what the heck is a "may day?"
A: It is a holiday - you know, with the ribbons and the poles. May Day.
D: No, 'mayday' is a distress signal, like when your plane is going down or your ship is sinking.
Tuesday night:
A: What did you get me?
D: Nothing. Why?
A: Today is my half-birthday! I am twenty-seven-and-a-half years old!
D: Whatever!
*seeing my serious look*
D: Oh, well then, Happy.

Ha! I can totally see you and Daniel having that first conversation.
And does he STILL not know the importance of a 1/2 birthday in our family? Sheesh...
i love the "serious look." i am hearing this conversation in my head. especially when you say, "I am twenty-seven-and-a-half years olf!"
Boys just don't get it, do they.
You guys are a riot.
"mayday" is a distress call. That kills me.
ha! i did some research and May Day is NOT the innocent little holiday we all thought it was! the may pole? yeah - it symbolizes, well, um...
you can do some research too!
Yeah, I wasn't gonna burst your bubble about May Day and I won't burst Bella's love for Ring-Around-The-Rosey.
We'll let everyone investigate for themselves :)
