"I did."

"Do you think you need Overnight Wrinkle Repair?"

"Do you think I do?"

"No."

"Good answer, Bob Rosenberg."

"But you know who does need Overnight Wrinkle Repair?'

"Tell me."

Seasonal

"Are we going to the beach today, Mom?"

"We could but it's only supposed to be 66 degrees at the beach."

"Wow. Is that freezing temperature?"

"Seems like it lately, but no."

"Did it get cold in the fall where you grew up in Northern California?"

"Not that cold. It didn't snow where we were. Just fog and rain and it smelled like fireplaces burning."

"Oh. Here it's a little cloudy but it still smells like sunscreen."

Smacksy Sunday Links

The empty container concept from Leo Babatua.  Simple and meaningful.

Slang phrases from the 1920s. You blue serge, you.

A tiny apartment in Paris. I think I could do it.

And a nice deer looking for snacks.

Happy Sunday.

Me and Aaron

"Aaron and Bob are alike in many ways. First we both like pizza next we both like playing vidow games. also we like playing baseball. Finally we dis like mushrooms they are growes."

Fat Lip

"... And so then Alessandro's head bashed really hard into my mouth and I just started bleeding all over the place and I was crying super hard."

"Oh, baby. I'm so sorry that happened."

"Yeah, then the guys walked me to the nurse and she looked at it this cut under my top lip - see? And she gave me a popsicle because my lip started swelling up really big."

"I can see that."

"She said cold things will help my fat lip, so I was thinking we should get some ice cream."

"Definitely."

"And I think in soccer, next time I won't lead with my face. Smart, right?"
