So we're driving home happily eating our breakfast burritos and I hear this conversation:
Grace: Those Indians sure were big people at the Pow Wow, weren't they Sissy?
Sophie: Yeah, but Thai people are small.
Grace: Excuse me, I tooted (then a cascade of giggles came from the back seat). My people (the Indians) are big, huge, strong, huge, big people.
Sophie: I bet they could crush a baby with their big feet.
Grace: Crush it flat. Smashed. Like a pancake. Probably with guts squishing out.
(more giggles erupt from the back seat)
Sophie: Excuse me, I tooted too (even more giggles).
Both: Mooooooommmmm, would you roll down the windows. It stinks in here.
Sophie: Mom, Grace touched my hand.
Grace: I did not. Your hand was on my side.
Sophie: See! She did. She just admitted it.
This whole conversation took about 15 seconds to complete. Somehow I'm exhausted and ready to go back to school to hang out with my 12 year olds......
Life is good. ;-)

OK, even though you are stealing my lines ("I did what any self-respecting..." is totally a me line, which I use all the time in my blog), this is TOTALLY HILARIOUS, and I will forgive you. LOL!!!
It's so freaking funny I can't even decide which part of it is the funniest. The constant interruptions to remind you that they've farted or the discussion about how Native Americans can squash the guts out of infants.
You must be SO proud! LOL!
Don't you wish you had recorded that conversation?
LOL! Love it!
I love the fact that you go in PJ's or not real clothes to McDonalds, you are still in Kansas, why is that on top? Did anybody thought you moved just because you changed your header?? That you call farts toots and the lovely remarks about the differences of Indians vs Thais... I never thought about it that way!! You are opening my eyes in big ways!! Thanks for sharing and making me laugh :-)
Mireille-
The 'Yep, we're still in Kansas' line is supposed to just be a play on the whole "Wizard of Oz" thing..... if it's stupid, you can totally blame Wendy C. ha ha ha
You B-word! LOL!!!
