My daughter called me a hippie this evening
because I called her one first.

She asked me, "Dad, what does heirloom natural wood material mean?"

Naturally I say.. well, that whole "natural wood" thing is freakish! I wonder who invented that!?!

yada yada yada ensued. I asked her why she wondered.

She was looking for a wooden rattle for her kid. I said.. damn hippies!

She laughed uncontrollably for about 2 minutes.

I am proud of my bebbe.

:hi:

2. Hehe- thanks
She's called me no less than 15 times today laughing at my "cupcake ordeal."

It was payback.

I keep seeing her rocking and thinking I done good. You know.. that whole reflective glow stuffs :D

10. I did thank her
She's still in denial. Then I asked her what hat she wore to school. She is on a crochetting kick, so I knew she wore one of her newly crafted hats lol

:rofl:

5. As opposed to unnatural wood?
I remember seeing some useless object advertised as being made of a "real metallic element".

Damn non-hippies....

9. Old C Rations back in the '60's contained a can of
cheese spread labeled "Contains edible plastic."
nothing is good enough for the people in uniform.

11. A friend of mine went to Alaska a few years back
He said, "You can drink water from glaciers there. It is really old water too!"

Took him days to figure out why I busted out in laughter :D
