Toothbrush Holder



Barb was explaining to me that she had used my toothbrush to clean the cup we use as a toothbrush holder because she couldn't get the inside the cup any other way with the lid that was on it.  She said that the cup design was so stupid because you should be able to take the lid off.  As she was telling me this, the lid on the cup came off in her hand.

Airport



We were dropping off Sarah and Ali at the departures area of the Orlando airport.  Sarah wanted to get a selfie of us all but couldn't get us all in the picture.  Ali said he would ask this Amigo to take the picture for us, pointing at a Mexican guy standing on the sidewalk.  He was talking on his phone and ignored Ali but his girlfriend took the picture for us.  Ali said that the guy ignored us because he heard Ali call him Amigo.

Then Barb noticed that Ali didn't have any socks on and thought he would be cold when he got back to Canada.  Ali said he was wearing socks.  Barb didn't realize that he had socks on because they were flesh coloured but they were not Ali's fresh coloured.  They were white person flesh coloured and Barb was doubly wrong.

Heads Up



Laura brought this fun game for us to play.  She had downloaded it as an app on her cellphone.  It was called Heads Up and the idea was that you choose a category and then the app chooses a word in that category.  The person with the cellphone places it on their forehead, so they can't see the word but the others can.  The others are supposed to get the player to guess the word by saying things but not saying the word.  We had a great laugh playing the game.  One of the categories was "Books of Bible".  When Barb saw this category, she said "God Help Us".  I thought that was pretty funny but we didn't try that category.

Adopted



We went to the live music in the Village Square when Laura, Sarah and Ali were here.  Barb had a great time dancing with Ali.  I met one of my friends from softball.  He introduced me to his daughter who was in her 20's.  I said that these are my kids pointing to Laura, Sarah and Ali.  This confused the daughter and she asked them if they were adopted.

Daphne's Card



I was sitting in my chair and found a card from Daphne beside it.  I opened it up and was very happy to find a cheque inside.  I exclaimed "What's This".  Then I realized the card and the cheque were for Laura.

Socks



Barb was making Sarah another pair of socks for Christmas and when she told Sarah about it, Sarah said that Ali said he only got one pair of socks from Barb and he was jealous.  So Barb decided to stop making another pair of socks for Sarah after she finished the first sock and decided to make a pair of black socks for Ali.  She didn't enjoy making black socks as much as making colourful socks for Sarah but she worked hard to make the socks.  Finally, she had made one black sock for Ali and one colourful sock for Sarah.  So they got one sock each for Christmas.

Little Pony



Laura came to the library with me and was very excited about putting the book I had in the return slot.  Then we went in to show her the library and she found a funny little book about a princess who wanted to fight in the wars and she wanted a pony to ride as a present for her birthday but all she ever got for her birthday was ugly sweaters.  Finally, she got a pony for her birthday but she wasn't happy about it because it was small and fat and couldn't run or jump.  She said that it eyes didn't even look in the same direction sometimes.  It just ate things it shouldn't and farted a lot.  Anyway when she finally got to go to war with her little pony, she was able to save her country by giving all their enemies ugly sweaters and everyone lived happily every after.
