3 fun things: texting it old school, impersonating the Town Blob, and talking like James Mason…but not simultaneously.

Thing 1:  I have a habit of writing things I must remember on the back of my left hand.  If I write them on a Post-it, I'll lose the note.  Today I got caught looking down at a green light by an angry driver behind me.  It was funny/embarrassing to imagine what I would have said to a police officer for "texting" in this way.

Thing 2:  Kid1 was in rare form yesterday, impersonating her maternal unit in a screechy rendition of the Town Blob's voice from the old BJ & Dirty Dragon show.  (Bill Jackson, the show's creator, was the subject of my first-ever blog post and I am pleased and proud to call him a correspondent).  So Kid1 is killing them in the aisles with her impersonation of me in this voice, talking on my phone to Kid2, croaking loudly, "What do you mean, who is this?  This is your MOTHER!"  

Thing 3:  The hilarity continued as Kid1 launched into a James Mason impression, and announced after a few minutes of really quality stuff that James Mason must have been physically incapable of pronouncing the word "mushroom."  She's right:  try it and see.  At least one other blogger besides our entire family finds James Mason's accent amusing.
