My First FCC Spanish Assignment

...asked me to choose the item in each group that didn't belong. Here was the last group for this assignment:

8. • vender
   • regatear
   • ropa interior
   • gastar

I liked how "ropa interior" (underwear) was the misfit. lol

Yes...I'm taking another Spanish 2 class because I took Spanish 3 five years ago.

drew

Drew: "I'm four feet tall."
Me: "That's really tall!"
Drew: "I KNOW!!"

I take six-year-old Drew and his sister from gakko to daycare, and they always say funny things, but I either forget exactly what they said, or the quotes don't seem as funny typed out like this. I thought this was cute though.

My favorite moment was probably when he covered his eyes with his seatbelt because his sister told him to. He was smiling and covering his eyes...it was so cute.

More Gramma

I think there'll be a lot of Grandma quotes here. Here are some more from today:


::Mom says something about chopping off the penises of men who cheat on their wives::
Grandma: "How gross."

::I talk and laugh about how I couldn't kill a humongous spider because it suddenly disappeared::
Grandma (in Japanese): "She's laughing by herself."


That second one doesn't seem very funny written out.

Oh, Grandma.

Today:

Mom: "She's a witch!"
Grandma: "Everybody's a bitch."
Mom: "I said 'witch.'"

* Note: I think my grandma was mocking my mom by saying that my mom thinks everyone's a bitch, although it's weird because my mom doesn't call people bitches. lol

Anthony Bourdain + DABDA Reference!

Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations is one of my favorite TV shows because you get to watch him travel around the world to do and observe cool things and eat interesting kinds of food. I was watching the episode on Sweden, and at the very end, Bourdain talks about talking (throughout the show he makes reflections on what he experienced on his trips) with some people about how he hates ABBA:

"It was on and on, deeper and deeper. So much denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and finally a kind of acceptance."

DABDA! I remember studying these stages in AP Psych in high school. Here is some info on the five stages of grief/dealing with loss, tragedy, etc.

Homer Simpson goes through these stages in an episode of The Simpsons (I think it was the one where he eats the poisonous part of fugu, pufferfish, @ a Japanese place), but I can't find that clip online, and I'm too lazy right now to see if I have the episode on DVD somewhere.

My Grandma is Hilarious

Mom: "What about Hiroko?"
Grandma: "Hiroko doesn't have a mother."

::Corrie sneezes::
Grandma [looks up]: "What was that?"

[After an insulting discussion of how a student has a brain from KFC]

Larry: "Nah...he has a chicken wing."
