Memorial Day 2012 - Catching up on the latest Matthewisms

Recent quotes and anecdotes:

Quote of the day: (Matthew) "Dad, mom says you can't wear her shoes."


Bad news: Matthew put a hole in air mattress. Good news: He plugged the hole so effectively that Todd didn't know there was a hole until he saw the pen sticking out of the mattress.


We have a gong in our hallway (yes, like the gong show, only smaller). Matthew bangs on it loudly while walking down the stairs a few minutes ago. I exclaim, "Hey!" His response: "What?!? It's not like I killed your wife or something!"


I have often noticed that my dog can be quite lazy. This observation was resoundingly confirmed tonight when he came back into the house with a snail crawling up his back...


Bad part of the night: Locking myself out of the house (by locking my keys in the car at dinner). Only the 3rd time in my life I've done that.
Good part of the night: Getting the girls to try Indian food, finding a really good Indian restaurant, and learning that I am quite skilled at breaking into houses.
