Goonies for Sandlot

We were walking past the baseball stadium when the musical tune "Rewrite the Stars" blared from the speakers.

"High School Musical. Classic." Kevin said with a smile.

I started cracking up. "Same guy, wrong musical," I said between giggles.

"No way, this is totally High School Musical!" Kevin responded. "I recognize the voice!"

So I told him I'd bet him anything he was wrong. So he cocked his head because I don't normally say that unless, of course, I'm absolutely sure. So after a while of his befuddled expression I said, "Greatest..."

"SHOWMAN! Oh...." he responded, looking mildly crestfallen. "You're right" he grudgingly and lovingly responded.

**Two days previous**
Kevin: Ya-ya... Ya-ya... that's a character from a movie, isn't it?
Me: Yep. It's a good one from our childhood.
Kevin: Give me another quote!
Me: Don't do it Benny, don't do it!
Kevin: Another one.
Me: (Sings the notes to the TEQUILA amusement park song)
Kevin: (says nothing)
Me: (Dramatically) FOR-EV-ER.... FOR-EV-ER.... FOR-EV-ER...
Kevin: OH! I know, the Goonies!
Me: (With a Face-palm) NO! THE SANDLOT!
(laughter)
Kevin: In my defense, I've only seen it a couple times.

**Same night as the "Rewrite the Stars" mixup**
Me: (musically) "Science Rules"
Kevin: BOB NYE THE SCIENCE GUY!

Welp, I love my husband, he cracks me up, and he explains all the time the beauty of his being an improv comedian--that you don't need to remember things or memorize lines in order to make it funny or make it a good show.
Needless to say, I'm entertained. Often. Love ya babe.

The Wright Kind of Family

Today's blog post is a question, a question for YOU, the reader. No, I don't mean somebody else in the blogosphere. You there, reading this, right now. What makes for a happy childhood? How can I raise the "Wright" kind of family? During my brief visit to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C., what amazed me more than all the aircraft and space gear and aerodynamic science combined was the following quote by Katharine Wright, younger sister of Orville and Wilbur Wright: Additionally, Wilbur stated: WHAT A STATEMENT. What a tribute to their parents and to the family culture fostered in their home. My interest and desire to know more about their homelife is piqued, so I'm 99.9% sure I'm going to buy this book on Amazon tomorrow so that I can learn more: What I want to know is how to grow a family where the kids rush home because home is the place to be! I want to know how to host an environment that suppo...

#StudentForLife

I'm kind of becoming my own professor...or at least an academic advisor..for a class I'm making up as I go, for a student body of size one (sometimes two, if Kevin comes along). You see, while my main title and full time position is as a stay at home mom, I'm also a part-time professional (I substitute teach a few days a month) ... but you might not know that I'm also a part time student. But the student part is purely by my own choosing, guys. There will be no final exam, no summer break, no midterm cramming. And, admittedly, no diploma. But I tell you what, it's been a blast, and learning is SO tremendously fun. The subjects I'm studying: The construction of fruit preserves 101. Last month Jeni Pittard with Taste of Home and Stacey with Southern Bite were my mentors as Kevin and I peeled, diced, pectin-ed, and poured. The results were nothing short of jelly-tastic peach and pear goodness. And we may have quoted National Treasure multiple times d...

The Problem with Chick Flicks.

I really, really, really enjoy a select few movies that I willingly watch over and over again. Pride and Prejudice is one of them. You see, Elizabeth's defense of her family, her sense of self respect, her ability to admit that she was wrong and to appreciate Darcy despite all his quirks, and quizzical brow-ness... it's marvelous. My husband doesn't share the sentiment, could you tell? ... and that's okay. There's rare a chick flick I enjoy near as much as I enjoy Pride and Prejudice or A Walk To Remember , and I wanted to explain why. You see, there's more than just a few problems with (many, not all) chick flicks: (and if you have a chick flick that escapes many of these pitfalls then please oh please leave it's title in the comment section!) The heroine (or suitor) is less than honorable. I have a hard time rooting for a girl to get a gentleman when she's spending her time being scandalously loose with other men ( #thenotebook) . An...
