Overheard in my car today

1st and 7th graders are having a conversation about "cuss words".

7th: Don't stick out your middle finger, it stands for something not nice.
1st: Why, what does it mean?
7th: I'm not sure, but it is a bad word. (Mom sighs with relief that 7th is still a little naive.)
1st: Lots of kids at school use bad words, they use the s-word a lot.
7th: You mean (spells out s-h-*-t) ?
1st: Yep, they say shut up all the time! (Mom laughs, glad that 1st is still very naive.)

DUH!

Waiting for the toast to pop up takes forever unless you put bread in the toaster

Dawn Needs

I saw this on another blog and thought it looked like fun. Google your first name and the word needs and write down the first ten comments. I did not click on any of the links, and there were a couple that I would never repeat. Here is what I got:

Dawn needs a tripod. (actually I already have one.)

Dawn needs a headcount before Thursday.

Dawn needs to get over herself. (never been accused of that before!)

Dawn needs to be on TV Land. (ok, it was really Tony Orlando and Dawn, but I couldn't resist!)

Dawn needs to seriously reconsider the amount of clothing she wears to the snow. (I don't go to the snow, it comes to me.)

Dawn needs to develop more speed endurance. (any kind of endurance would be nice!)

Dawn needs a plan. (enough said)

Dawn needs the participation of every jurisdiction in targeted metropolitan areas. (huh?)

Dawn needs $40 million to complete, but will cost $10 million to kill. (you didn't think you could get rid of me that easily, did you?)

Dawn needs a friend. (Don't we all? But seriously, I always need one more.)

Today's funny

I don't know how to do links yet, but thought this was too funny not to comment on.
YAHOO has a story on dinosaurs evolving into............chickens! Now what takes more faith, believing God designed and created the world, or that things just happened to start evolving, and in the process of getting better a dinosaur became a chicken!?
And along the same line, why are scientists concerned about the mutant frogs with 5 legs? Wouldn't they consider that a frog evolving?
