We Speak Pirate

Jane:  "Mom!  Margot just called me "scurvy dog!"  That's really bad.  Get her in trouble."

Me:  "Do you know what "scurvy dog" means?"

Jane:  "Yes.  It's pirate for "you're stupid.""

Our Art Afficionado

While we were on vacation last month, we visited the Art Institute of Chicago.

Don:  "Jane, what did you like best at the Art Institute?"

Jane:  "The gift shop."

Don:  "Well, besides the gift shop."

Jane:  "This."  (holding up a toy from the gift shop.)

Don:  "I meant what did you like from the art exhibits."

Jane:  "Umm . . . I guess all of the naked people?"

Don:  "How about the knights and armor - did you like that?"

Jane:  "Yes.  That, and the naked people."

Don:  [silence]

Jane:  "They have a lot of naked stuff there.  I really like it."
