This is what happens when I give my children watermelon...(also known as vatermelo to the Koenigs). Yep, it's tasty good, but the fun doesn't stop there! This creature was named, "Better Than Trogdor". Some of you may know the reference, and that is all I have to say about that.
This week school is finally in full swing, and each of my kids have said things that have made me have to "Post it-or Lose it"
My son, getting ready for his first day got up at 5am (no kidding!), took a shower, made us both lunch, and then spent another hour honing "THE LOOK". While preening, I reached over to fix his collar, and he says, "Hey- don't _uck up the get up!" A laughing fit ensued. Later that day, while looking at where his hair was parted, he said, "What do you think about this part? Too Ronald Reaganish?" Yet another fit of laughter!
Now for my daughter. She was doing a bit of Family Tree homework , and after finishing the first page (which consisted of her own sibling, parents, and grandparents) she turned to the second page which was now asking for FULL names and date of birth for Aunts & Uncles. (SIGH) It was then she realized what that would mean for her and her hand(which was already going into writer's spasms)!
"You have too many siblings, mom! You're family is driving me CRAZY!"
My reply? , "Oh they're good at that! Just look at me!".
Insightfully funny, that child!
She finally finished writing all the information down on my 7 siblings, and hopes never again to have to think about it! (me, too!) HAR!

Dang, girl. You've got SEVEN siblings?? Who knew?
P.S. I'm not sure if that's BETTER than trogdor... but it's close. Does it burninate or anything?
As for Ade... get used to it kiddo. The fam ain't going away anytime soon.
ade should be glad it only asked for the siblings and not the siblings, their spouses and their children!!!
For the record, no creature is better than The Burninator. Put Trogdor up against the great monsters of lore-Godzilla, Magalon, King Kong, Mothra, Rupert Murdoch-and he will Burninate them all before they can even roar, kick, fly, or make a sneaky corporate media buy-out move. Your little Vatermelo creature stands no chance in the face of burnination.
However, if Vatermelo wished to join forces with The Burninator, I am sure Trogdor could make him destroy some of the lesser known hamlets and villages so that Trogdor himself can get back to what he does best; burninating the cities for charity. Really! Great Chicago fire? You think it was a cow? Nope. Trogdor. Earned the Universal Society of Dragons and Serpents enough money to save the North American Tail Whip dragons from certain extinction.
True story.
I want what Elliot's smokin'
Ain't smokin' nothin' Mom. Not for several years.
(Pause for you to recover from your gasp)
Just livin life, lovin' livin' and lifin' lofe. Also, I'm pretty well sleep deprived, which has the same effect as what my friend Jenn calls "certain smokables." But that's a vague term that I'll leave up to you.
Also, nothing to smoke for you! You quit and we're all prou...I mean...we all pity you.
Or is it okay to be proud of you now?
