My funny friend sends me random texts and he sent this the other day

Christmas Carols and gin go together like Kenny G and an 8 ball. Just cant have one without other.

We then got into a conversation about dominoes, Kokanee and drinking the queens urine. I will spare you all the entire conversation but I did like this quote.

One of the English assessments for grade 10 at my school is to keep a reading journal. This was one girl's insightful commentary on The Hobbit (which I'm pretty sure she never actually read)...

Some things that I disliked in the novel was all the fantasy creatures. They are not real and I don't believe in them and it just made the story sound so unrealistic.

Someone just posted on FB about how beards don't equal wisdom. It reminded me of this conversation I had with two of my friends while I was in Tennessee.

Friend A: Holy Shit. There's an abundance of facial hair in this town.
Me: I know. I love it.
Friend B: It's like your dating Mecca, isn't it?

Last week, after sunday dinner at my mother's, we were all sitting a the table talking about all kinds of things when the conversation drifted to the childhood of my brother and myself.

Apparently my brother wasn't a crybaby unless my mother left him alone, which caused plenty of laughs at the table. And then my mother started talking about me. About how they told me: 'if you keep crying like that, people will say you're a crybaby". The very next day I flew head over heels with my little bike on the asphalt, picked up my bike, walked inside and the moment I got inside I would start crying.

More laughs were had. And then my mother followed it up with: "Well, he used to cry for those things.......and whenever he dislocated his shoulder."

At this point my brother and I look at each other like and then look at her and said in unison: "We never knew that! How did that happen!?"

My mother: "Oh all kinds of things, but usualy like this: 'HIER GIJ!' (roughly translated as 'get over here!'" at which point she made a tugging motion .

After some questions I think it was probably just my shoulder locking, but still, it was quite a surprise finding that out like that at my age. And it does explain a thing or two .

She also gave an example of how I would be sitting on a merry go round, trying to catch the tassels that would grant me a free ride, but being unable to reach it. Then I would move my arm in a strange way (think Lethal Weapon) and be able to reach the tassels.

Yeah, sureal conversations at sunday dinner....
