Fun Water Bill Typo

Of course, I proofread everything I read--unintentionally, of course, but I do it nonetheless. So imagine my delight when the water bill came today, and it read, "[The] spring 2010 hydrant flushing program is currently scheduled to begin Monday, March 22 and fun for approximately eight weeks." What's funny is that I think as I read, so I got as far as hydrant flushing and immediately thought, "Fun." Then I read that it already started and that it would fun for a while. Was that some kind of Freudian slip? Do the water company employees greatly enjoy the hydrant flushing process? Or were they thinking, "fun," just as sarcastically as I was, resulting in some "fun" just slipping right in there?

I think typos make things fun. They show a little bit of fallibility, which we all possess and in which we should all revel.

Let me leave you with our new day-rhymes:

Monday is fun day.

Tuesday is blues day.

Wednesday is friends day.

Thursday is hers day.

Friday is my day.

Saturday is flatter day.

Sunday is pun day.

Squishy

All of the eggplant at the Super G was squishy. Tootsie felt it, Bubby felt it, I felt it. We all agreed: too squishy. We then got into a discussion of what else is squishy. Guess what? According to Tootsie, I am squishy--almost anywhere you poke me.

I love my children.

Stickers

If we could all take our advice from a five-year-old, we would know well that a sticker makes everything better. Yesterday, I did not feel well in the car. Bubby ever-so-sweetly declared that he would give me a sticker when we got to school. "A sticker will make you feel better, Mommy." And you know, it really would have because it would have come from Bubby, just to make his mama happy.
