What’s your life… in a six word story?

Smith Magazine has “Six-Word Memoir” series and is asking:

“Everyone has a story. Can you tell yours in six words?”

Here’s mine:

I’m asking, seeking. knocking these days.

What’s your six-word story?

This is proof that advertising works… 

Our family has been watching bowl games for the past two weeks. And at dinner last night, Samuel, my 3 year old, picks up his cup and drinks down all of his water. Then he turns to me and says, “Ahh, drinkability.”

I, then, scolded him (while trying not to laugh), telling him not to repeat slogans from beer commercials. And now “drinkability” has become the underground word of choice amongst the kids. During last night’s Fiesta bowl, there was much whispering and snickering  during commercial breaks amongst the kids. 

Thank you Bud Light. I can’t wait for him to pull out that nugget, next Sunday at church…

My kids really enjoyed this one, thought you might too…

We were eating dinner yesterday  and it was snowing. James turns to me and says, “We should put on our bathing suits and go and roll in the snow.” The other kids laughed because it sounded absurd. Then I replied, “sure.” There was a moment of silence at the table as the kids eyeballed each other. The Aida asked me, “Are you serious!?!” 

To see if they went through with the challenge. Check out this video:

Needless to say, my kids rock!

This is TRUE  story about a lady, a cat turd and the post office.

It’s 10:19 pm and every kid in our house is asleep, except Tristen “Tink” Delony. She’s been singing and talking in her crib (and through the baby monitor) for 2 hours, then finally she busted out. Here’s the picture evidence.

I love Raine Maida from his music with Our Lady Peace and his solo work too. I also love watching people do what they can to make this world a better place. He spent a day playing music around the streets of Toronto trying to raise money ($30,000) to build a school in the Congo.

Great song (it reminds me of teens I work with). Great Cause.
