Lizzy has a bag of pinto beans. She pilfered it from the pantry this morning. I saw her drop it once and although she was racing down the hall on turbo, she turned around for it. She loves her pinto beans. She raced into my office to tell me something (which I definitely understood, seeing as how I am fluent in both gibberish and squeaks) and after she completed her complete sentence (in gibberish, some squeaks) complete with nouns, verbs, proper nouns, and some misplaced pauses, she looked at me blankly. Based on her statement, I wasn't sure what I was supposed to say. She hadn't asked me a question... what should I do, what should I say? I resorted to the obvious: "You sure do love those pinto beans, don't you Lizzy?"
She looked at me solemnly.
Nodded.
"ahhhh... duh"
I just needed to type this stuff out since I'm definitely going to forget it otherwise.

More ChaCha love
Q: My wife asked me to encourage her and I end up telling her that
marathon training is an idol and she is wasting childbearing years.
How do I always do that?
A: It sounds like you are just a jerk.

tastes like Canada
I made some chicken yesterday. It was good. I was telling my sister about how to make it. "I just took some chicken legs and I put olive oil on them and then some steak seasoning, some Montreal steak seasoning, and believe me I hate myself for getting Canadian steak seasoning..."
at this point she interrupted, "oh just admit you love Canada. Admit it's your favorite State..." [insert long pause while she realizes that Canada is not a state] "... in the Union"
Now she's insisting that she knew all along that Canadia is not a state. Sure.
Get some Montreal steak seasoning. it. is. amazing.

I just won
One of my wife's favorite past times is to unlock the bathroom door and steal my laptop (I play music on my laptop) while I'm in the shower. Is that a state, federal, or moral crime?
Unfortunately, No. It just sounds like your wife is playing a joke on you. It is probably better to keep the laptop out of the bathroom anyways. Water can damage it for good! ChaCha On!

I don't think so...
I don't get this. The answered seemed kind of leading so I carefully considered those that I thought were Elizabeth's answers... I do not relate to Elizabeth AT ALL! I don't think I'm smart enough or reserved enough (!!!)

I heart vampires (apparently)
My husband and I caught a couple minutes of an interview with a guy named Robert Pattinson. Every other word that came out of his mouth was punctuated by female screams so my husband says to me, "What is that? All you have to have is an accent and be reasonably attractive and all these women scream at you."
To which I replied, "I don't think it's like that, I think he was in those vampire movies that all the teenagers are crazy about."
"Ohhhh I see... that makes sense now"
I switched the channel. I thought we were done. Incorrect.
"Why is it with you that no matter what we are talking about you always bring the subject back to vampires?"
I laughed. I did. I hate encouraging him but I couldn't help it. I laughed. A lot. So he continued:
"In Sunday school even, I have to tell you, 'Rebekah, we weren't even talking about vampires.' "
oh man.
Fine print:
I have never read a book about, watched a movie about, or been obsessed with a young British man who plays a vampire, just in case you were going to judge me. Take it.
