flea1. via email
Houseguest coming from NoVA: Can we bring anything?
me: Nope, just yourselves.
me [considers, writes back]: Um, actually, don't laugh, but could you bring a couple dozen Dunkin Donuts?
Houseguest: See you tomorrow, doughnuts in hand. Laughs.
What? There's no Dunkies closer than CARY right now! (Though one is scheduled to open on Erwin Road soonish.) Oh, while I'm talking food, the Eastgate Trader Joe's is supposed to open Nov. 30th, is the word around the office.
2. with Casper, in her bedroom, while we are putting on pajamas
Casper: Shows me a colored scribble in her pink notebook. This is the Indians fighting!
me: Who are the Indians fighting with?
Casper: With the people like us.
me: Which people? (I am still wondering if we are talking about Peter Pan here, which we are reading aloud and boy there are some parts that take some 'splainin'.)
Casper: The Mee-grups.
me: The who? Why are they fighting?
Casper: Because they are trying to take over the United States of America.
me: Light dawns. Oh, the Pilgrims. Did they teach you this at school? Who told you about this?
Casper: No. GOD told me about it.
me: Well, alrighty then.
