Day 734 - Out of the mouths of 5-year-olds
Greetings, Bloggy Weekenders!
I've decided to go to 10am water aerobics so I could stay in BED a little longer this morning (for a change). No, we didn't party all night if that is what you're thinking.
We met Buddy Joe at the Irish Pub last night and stayed till about 8:30pm (whoa, big night out).
We had dinner - Joe had beer-cheese soup in a bread bowl, Charlie had an Irish sampler dinner with potatoes and cabbage, shepherds pie, beef 'n guinness, and Irish Stew, and I had the open faced prime rib on texas toast with mashed potatoes.
I have vacuum sealed and frozen all the bagels Joe brought to us except for one of the cheese ones (I ate that one last night around 9pm when I got home).
Funny story from the health club yesterday:
After my swim, I usually go in to the hot tub in the women's locker room for a minute to warm up.
I normally dislike it when there are kids in there. (My feeling is they don't belong in a hot tub, it's not a kiddie pool). Yesterday there was a really cute 5 year old and her older sister 'hanging out'.
The five year old decided she was going to interrogate me with questions and comments:

The five year old decided she was going to interrogate me with questions and comments:
- What neighborhood do you live in? (the subdivisions in Franklin all have names and the kids know where each other live by their neighborhood)
- Who is your teacher? (swim teacher)
- Do you weigh 100 pounds? (there's a sign on the wall saying you have to be 100 lbs to use the hot tub. She admitted she was too little to weigh 100 lbs).
- I'm going to get married when I'm 20 years old. (I told her you don't get married when you're a certain age, you get married when you find the right person)
I'm sure there were more, but those are the best ones I remember. It was pretty funny and I finally just had to walk away because I needed to go!
TTFN and watch out for those curious 5-year-olds!

Karen, hope your weekend continues to be a non-working one! Cute interview by the 5 yr old! Yummm, cheese bagels--have to try those! We're leaving soon for Morgan's Western Maine girls basketball play-off game in Portland. Sure hope Lake Regions wins! Morgan is the tallest membet of her team and spends a lot of time under the basket blocking shots and getting rebounds--and getting points as well--8 her last game. Stay well, Heather!

Hi Karen, that little girl reminds me of the kids in my class at the Lighthouse School, I have a music class with 18 children who are 5 years old, one with 6 and 7 year olds (about 10 children), and then one with 4th and 5th graders (about 10 children). One little boy wrote me a "Sorry Marcia" note after I sent him out of the room for being so noisy and active (he's extremely noisy and active and I couldn't stand it anymore), and his note came back unreadable. I said, "What did you write", and he said, "Sorry for being a maniac!". They're all very sweetly smart and basically uncontrollable.

Marcia, I had no idea you had so many children in your Lighthouse School classes. God bless you! We can all say that at times "Sorry for being a maniac"! Oh, and Morgan's team won the Class B Girls basketball championship for Western Maine 37-33. I'll write that again tomorrow as probably most people aren't reading the blog this late in the eve--8:15 isn't late for some people, but I'm tired tonight!
