Over the weekend we made a trip to Costco (one of those big membership wherehouse stores) and bought a few things. As we are loading our car, some random guy walking throught the parking lot says to us, "Wow, you guys must really like rice."
It left us both speechless for a moment. It sounded somewhat sarcastic and demeaning. Who does this guys think he is? All I could say at first was, "We do." (He was probably already out of earshot) What I wish I'd said was, "It's called food storage, ya ever heard of it?" or "Well don't come begging at our door for some rice when the disaster strikes" or "It's Costco ya moron, this is their smallest size" or "Arroz e Fejao pra sempre!" (Rice and Beans forever!)
Anyway, I've decided that this will be my new way to demean things.
Like, "the Denver Nuggets must really like rice" or, well you get the idea I think.
Now for other random stuff.
On Sunday I told my son to go get his church clothes on. When I came upstairs he was still playing and I said, "You don't have your church clothes on yet?" and he said, "It's three minutes!, I don't have a clock."
Lately I've been walking to the bus stop in the morning and then my wife and son meet me when I get off the bus. My son puts up a huge struggle and argument when it's time to get in the car to go get me. He says things like, "Mom, Daddy said we don't have to get him" or "Mom, I told you!" So this morning, he was awake when I was leaving and he said, "Daddy, you drive your car." I recognized that he was refering to this ordeal of picking me up. I said, "I'm going to walk, but you don't have to come get me." That seemed to put him at ease.
Anyone want to give me a ride?

Don't they eat a lot of rice everywhere? I love rice. Its good to know that when disater strike I can come over to your house and raid your food storage. I think it would be more degrading to really like ramen.
Where were you today? Yes, I can read your comments now. They probably held the one back because is was argumentative.
Ok, so I just want you to know that I am getting pretty tired of reading this post. Its would be cool if I came to your blog one day and there was a new one.
I think you're right about the Denver Nuggets really liking rice.
