A Day in Two Acts

*ACT ONE*

 

Me:  "Where did you get that Harry Potter scarf?"

Mike:  "The Dollar Tree."

Me:  "Oh.  It's...nice."

Mike:  -

Me:  "Wait, let me take your picture."  [grabs camera]

Mike:  (smiles)

Me:  "No, don't smile.  Act like a character from Harry Potter."

Mike:  "You mean like a disgruntled teenager?"

*click*

 

Perfect. 

Oh, and I love it when Mike's hair gets to this wacky, Gene Wilder-esque state.  It kills me.
Usually I only get to crack one or two candy-man jokes before he runs off to the barber shop.  

 

*ACT TWO*

 

Me:  "Max, you wanna play with some stuff from Mommy's store?:

Max:  "The candy necklaces?!"

Me:  "No, th.."

Max:  "The cupcake mints?!"

Me:  "Um, no, I...

Max:  "The candy cigarettes? the sprinkles?? the bubble gu.."

Me:  "Here, just put this on and go look in the mirror."

Max:   [from the bathroom]  "Hey, you made me into Santa!"

Me:  "Not really.  More like Samuel Clemens, if you ask me."

Max:  "Who's that?"

Me:  "Never mind."

Love the stashes, but... Never MIND who Samuel Clemens is?!?! *gasp* the blasphemy!!! ;)

btw, I emailed you a shop question via the contact us form on your new site - I'm sure you're swamped but I just wanted to make sure you received it?

"The candy man can 'cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good!..." Totally.

I was happy to get the mail about your shop opening! It looks great. :) I've purchased a few things from your Etsy shop in the past, and I've always loved them!! Now, I've noticed that your link list on the side bar is reverse alphabetical order - very cool. :)
