LOOBILOO

Francis, who is in Junior Kindergarten, had a paper airplane today, but this was not the one he was most proud of.

At home, I have a circle airplane that can do a loobiloo when I throw it.

After several repetitions of this sentence, I finally deciphered his message. A loobiloo is a loop-dee-loop.

Seth: Psht! Yeah I do. Uhmmm... wait, wait. Let me think! Ermmm... Oh yeah! The Colorado Avalanche!

Pepperoni

So, we are ordering pizza and Caitlan (6 years old) suggests some pepperoni.
Me: I don't like pepperoni.
Caitlan: Why? It's not pepper, just roni.

Weird

This is our first guest blog! How exciting!
The following story comes to us by the way of friend, B.

B: Twenty-one.
Girl: Oh! My dad's girlfriend is 24. He's like 39. It's kind of weird...
