The Rant of Our Discontent

[SAT 9,609]

my kids are funny when they speak Chinese

 

[SAT 9,609]

 #### I can't talk to you guys no mo, I got a lotta #### to go over...

[MKB 29]

The countdown is official

Will move to the US sooner than I thought

 

Excited but worried

[MKB 29]

I didn't tell any of my coworkers

I spoke to people up top and set the date 

 

One of my clients, out of the blue, told me that I'd make a good lawyer

 

Asked me to think about it seriously 

Sort of a career change

 

Engineer vs. lawyer?

 

I don't know why he decided to say that. I'm sure he doesn't know. 

 

Coincident?

 

[MKB 29]

 

I've been having a cup of tea in the morning for a week now

 

Still no accent

if she learned Danish, it was like her English learning just stopped.  Then, she sucked in both and couldn't communicate.  We had to pick one or the other and English is the obvious choice.

We were told that one language should be spoken with one parent and the other language with the other parent, clean split man.  This has worked out very well vis-à-vis Mini-B., bilingual wee man.

1.  Congratulations, M man!!!!!

2.  Very natural, and quite OK to feel as you do, si and si man.  If you have butterflies in your stomach, get them to fly in formation man.

Many.  Engineer vs. lawyer?

1.  Prudent, although word has a way of leaking out, si man.

2.  This is quite a compliment about your intellect, si man.

Many.  A high-class decision.  Why not be both?  Think of your opportunities thereafter, si man.

We forgot to mention Mrs. T-B.'s ADD of yesterday, ADD she man.

When we returned to the casa, she & Mini-B. were out (known to us), and:

-- the oven was left on, thankfully empty man;

-- cat was shut in Mini-B.'s room, dash out to litterbox miu man;

-- power had gone out for a few minutes but no clocks had been reset, untimely man.

 

Furthermore, when Mrs. T-B. returned, we asked where our scissors were, always kept in one place man.

She said, "I used them, but I don't know where I put them," ADD she man.

Many (2+2+2+1) minutes later, she found them, certainly accidentally man.

We have probably a Manyzen scissors, none of which can be found (except usually ours) at any time,  man.

[TBoneTX 45,849]

Arose at o'dark-Many this morn to attend Mini-B.'s award ceremony at skool, honored wee man.

Upon awakening, Mini-B. was even groggier than were we, hilarious utterances by wee man.

 

Everyone made ceremony on time, front-row seats we and Mrs. T-B. and wee man.

Skool principal butchered our surname, how hard is "Bone" man.

 

Mini-B. got a "Writers Club" certificate, no possessive apostrophe man.

He was very proud and posed for a foto, immortalized wee man.

Mrs. T-B. somehow got Many (2+2) fotos of him in just a few seconds, proficient she man.

Afterwards, Mini-B. showed us his writings posted outside the skool cafeteria, literary wee man.

We were very proud and gave him a kiss and a High Many (2+2+1), cover all bases man.

 

We are now selling pre-owned toilet seats in our near-sleep grogginess, fortunately thus capable we man.

Congratulations!

 

I managed to mangle my arm yesterday, had some boxes to take to recycle, they have to be flattened so I was standing on each one to crush it, putting it in the car and onto the next - all the way to the last which didn't collapse in a nice flat pile  like all the others but stayed intact, so I stamped on it and I'm pretty sure it laughed... so I jumped on it & it morphed into a trampoline and launched me across the yard where I skidded on my side before landing in a heap. Box won, it went to recycle in one piece, my arm is shredded and I was wearing a coat!

[TBoneTX 45,849]

We have some new-generation drug-eluting POTSs (called DEPOTS), T ma'am.

Hang it on your arm for prompt unshredding, no-longer-disarmed T ma'am.

Ask your doctor to prescribe you DEPOTS today, si ma'am.

If you are unable to afford DEPOTS, we might be able to help*, $i ma'am.

 

*by recommending that you beg or borrow the necessary funds or forget the idea altogether, or suggesting that you eat more and gain enough weight so that boxes don't launch you like a trampoline

[TBoneTX 45,849]

Suddenly massive influx of DEPOTS orders, astounding man.

Must process, si man.

Afternoon/evenin', Commie-, trampoline-mangled, and other babes with refulgent +1 inventories!

And this proves that you shouldn't go out for boxing, no T ma'am.  Do the job inside next time, si ma'am.

[SAT 9,609]

I'm done going over all the #### now...

Man I need a nap...
