actual conversation at the dinner table last night - 'a word of advice ainsley: you better check yourself, before you wreck yourself.' the hardest part of this was maintaining my composure at watching j quote ice cube to our 2 year old with a straight face. (not to mention giving a shout out to the best mixed cd ever made imho - wow. i just dated myself!)
watching/listening to this conversation and not hysterically bursting into laughter made me think of all the things that we say to our kid that are either a) inappropiate, b) incomprehensible to her, or c) composed entirely of movie quotes or song lyrics.

but i guess coming from a family where basque chicken becomes known as separatist chicken and we throw quotes from obscure bbc television shows at each other that's not so out of character. here's hoping we don't warp her too bad. and that she doesn't drop an f bomb at either one of our churches.
