Seven Quick Takes

As you can tell, John and I took turns this week. The first one is mine, the second one is his. The third one is mine, fourth is his. You get the picture.

1) This conversation actually happened:

Me: Leroy (my mom’s crazy sun conure) is insane! He’s always hitting his head up against the aviary. He’s crazy!!! You need to get rid of him, mom.

Bridget: Well of course he’s crazy! He was smothered.

Me: He was? When was he smothered? Who smothered him?

Bridget: yeah! That’s why he was so cheap! Mom and Dad got him on the side of the road or something because he was smothered into the country.

 

2) A neutron walks into a bar. “How much for a drink?” he asks. “For you? No charge!”

 

3) I took my 7th grade class picture in a denim shirt and a tie. And in case you went back to do the “every other” counting to see if this entry was John, you read it right: I, Molly, wore a tie in my seventh grade picture. My best friend, Kelly West, wore a denim shirt and a tie too. Long story short, I looked just like my MALE best friend in our 7th grade pictures. Awesome.

5) I have an iPhone 3. I had an iPhone 4 but John stole it from me because he’s the one in a technology job so it made more sense that he have the nice phone. Plus, before I got it, I had a crappy old phone. So an iPhone 3 is better than no iPhone, right? Actually, no. Especially after being introduced to the beauty and speed that is the iPhone 4. When John gave me the 3, I kept telling him, “I think something is wrong with this phone!” I’d only ever had an iPhone 4 before that so I didn’t realize that the 3 is actually a piece of crap. It infuriates me how long it takes to even pull up the screen to make a simple phone call. This video really is accurate:

7) I got hosed on my end of these Quick Takes. John didn’t even write anything!!! And he only got 3. No fairsies! Have a great weekend everyone! And a WONDERFUL Labor Day. I will NOT be laboring on Monday so don’t keep your hopes up for a blog post.
