Living in a Noggin-Google world

Conversation overheard between two cousins during our family vacation.
5-year-old: “Do you have Noggin?”
6-year-old:“Umm, no. [pause] Do you have Google?”

No, we’re not here, but we passed through St. Louis on our trip up.
More pictures and details to come. Gotta post this before I lose Internet connection agai…

Question: What is, what’s happening where we plan to go on vacation, Alex? Because we are cursed. Cursed, Alex, when it comes to vacations.

Fifteen years ago, I kissed my husband for the first time.
These boots were made for … princess elephants?

I cleaned off my camera today so I could take a picture of this.
Pretty shoes (high-heeled pink sneakers, even) are required to make an elephant a princess. Or so I’m told.
Ducks? Shoot! Or … what I did this weekend

The ducks made my kids shriek. And not in a good way. My kids obviously have no farm cred. (Photo by Sarah, Goon Squad Sarah)
I got the Q snack
January 30, 2008 | Stuff
That’s what happens when I don’t volunteer but wait to be assigned to send an alphabet snack to preschool. So, here are my choices.
What about quince?
Hmm. Doesn’t that look like a yellow apple? Could IÂ cheat and send apples?
What about queen olives?
Yeah, the 5-year-olds would love me for that.
What about mini-quiches?
(It’s a good thing I just send them in and don’t have to be there because I would be so tempted to call them quickies. I’d also be tempted to dress like a queen with a quetzal on my shoulder and say stupid things like, “Quench your thirst quickly with this quaff! Quiet your hunger with this quinary of quince cut into quarters and quadrangles!” Only to be met with quizzical silence. Quirky? Unquestionably.)
I’m leaning toward quesadillas, though.
What would you pick for a Q snack?
