Picnic

[charliesmum]

Today was the Special Needs Group family picnic. I was getting stuff ready to take, and I walked into the kitchen to find charlie with a big pile of Lebanon Bologna sandwiches that he was putting into plastic bags.

"What are you doing?" I asked him.

"Making sandwiches," he replied.

"What for?"

"The picnic!"

"Who are they for, Charlie?"

He looked at me like I was being kind of slow and said, "Everybody!"



I pointed out that there was going to be hot dogs and things at the picnic, but he was not deterred. He was bringing sandwiches. It was on his checklist. There were other things on the checklist as well so we also brought the following:

Bananas
Pears
Oranges
Grapes
Blueberries
Red Cabbage

I didn't put the cabbage out.

Here's a photo of me reading to the kiddies:

I'd posted something on metaquotes and they deleted it because I'd broken rule 9 and took too long to set up the quote. I appreciate the fact I'd inadvertently broken a rule - I should've have checked them first, so they had to, but it still hurt my feelings, which is just pathetic, isn't it?

Aaawww! What a generous kid. :-) (What on earth did you do with all of those sandwiches, though?)

[charliesmum.livejournal.com]

Belive it or not, people ate most of them.

The rest are in my 'fridge.

How's the cleaning coming along? :)

Cleaning... erm... right... Not so much. :-) But I did get a free phone today! Freecycle is the best thing ever. A portable v-tech phone in like-new condition, manual included, some guy who lives one subway stop away from me was giving it away. So I took it! It's great.

Now I have a phone to go with that phone jack in my bedroom.

I just took a look at metaquotes for the first time. That's awesome! I want to be metaquoted! (I supposed I have to say something clever first though, eh?)

Awww. What a sweet kid. I heart Charlie.

And what was the quote?

i have to ask...... i get the sammies, and the fruit, but the red cabbage????????? ummm was it another food group, a colour group, or does he like cabbage?????? lol

Hee, Charlie is so adorable!

[charliesmum.livejournal.com]

It was a color group thing! When we went to the grocery store he wanted to get one thing from each color and for some reason the 'purple' cabbage is what he wanted to get.

I just go with it, because it is amusing!

Here it is - some people replied before it got deleted, so I had a copy! :)

So, over on mock_the_stupid, someone posted this story about someone who didn't know who Shakespeare was. As expected this drew lots of comments and one person who was pointing out that Romeo and Juliet was mandatory in their school accidently wrote R&G instead of R&J. They corrected themselves quickly, of course, leading pewter_alyssum to make this brilliant comment:

Because I don't think Romeo and Gerald would've gone over well with the Victorian set. "They be FRIENDS, I swear it! Very goodly friends. Who partake of friendly, brotherly kisses. And attempt to marry for a lark.

Aw, Charlie.

As for metaquotes, well, boo on them. I mean, who can't take five seconds out of their day to read the few lines you wrote? Whatever.

Its too bad you can't metaquote Charlie. Reading what you write about him is a delight to the heart. :)
