Yep, I knew that!

Did you know that.....
....Sentences that begin with, "Mom, you know that formula........."
"x equals negative B plus or minus the square root of B minus four AC over 2 A.....?"
is going to end up with the mother feeling like her barely get by math grade in High School isn't cutting it as the parent of a brilliant mathematical genius. (Good Job Elizabeth.)

Did you know that.....
.....If my dad reads your blog and you have a misspelled word, he'll e-mail you the correct spelling: just so you know for next time. (Thanks Dad.)

Did you know that.....
.....Lingering to talk outside Wal-Mart to talk could result in getting MOONED. (No Thanks juvenile delinquent.)

Did you know that.....
.....A frozen bag of chicken that doesn't make it into the freezer, but placed on the floor next to the freezer will start to emit putrid odors that radiate the whole house about three days later. (Thanks child of mine.)

Did you know that.....
.....5th grade teachers that have a "open the lock race" to prepare the kids for middle school when they have lockers make me grateful for teachers who care. (Thanks Mrs. K.)

Did you know that.....
.....When someone comes over Monday afternoon with a plate full of delicious chocolate cupcakes with chocolate cream filling, delicious frosting and chocolate shavings on top and says "I was trying something new" we're more than happy to try them out. (Thanks Phyllis)

Did you know that.....The word Haptodysphoria means: An odd sensation felt by certain people when handling peaches or other fuzzy surfaces? (refers to my last post: Good job Jodi and Jan and Amy too!)

That formula that Elizabeth is using can be sung to the tune of 'Pop Goes the Weasel' - thats how I remember it. "X equals negative B plus or minus the square root of B squared minus four A C all over 2 A" Also, I have had many comments about my lack of grammar and inability to spell the word 'definately' from George - you're not alone there. And finally. You think its bad to be mooned outside WalMart - I have been mooned IN WalMart. Seriously.

Great post. Oh you can send some of those plate full of delicious chocolate cupcakes with chocolate cream filling, delicious frosting and chocolate shavings on top to my house....

The chicken out by the freezer. Oh man, that's a bummer. You got mooned at wal-mart? That's hilarious. I can't even believe that. The cupcakes sounds delish. Loved this post Debie. I didn't know that "x+4a squared over 1/5." All of that is gibberish to me.

Megan said...

Great list, I didn't know some of those, but I do now. Thanks

dandee said...

I knew some of those things.

Yuck to being mooned!

Amy J. said...

Hey Debie...I also got it right! I loved your list, your dad is a hoot and I will never understand the whole idea behind showing someone else your behind.

PRP said...

I never would have gotten the math thing, but I knew of few of the others!

Those cupcakes sound delicious!

Thats soooo funny!

Em and Ms said...

Wow, I feel enlightened. I'd rather be mooned than what we saw on the strip a few weeks ago...I'll spare the details.

Elizabeth said...

Oh and mom. I came in second place in that contest. Now she is testing us on it. I PASSED!!!!

Yeah thanks Elizabeth for keeping me up soooo late in the night so I will ese drop on your homework.


I hope no one runs around in their underwear at the middle school (Elizabeth had an expierence)

Those were delicious cupcakes.

Oh and thanks rachel the giant african spider bite thingy was mine.

rip said...

I wonder if you were mooned by a relative of mine. Hope not!

SuzanSayz said...

Love Susan!

That is so great that Kenley's teacher is doing that. My first day at Mac I couldn't get my locker unlocked to save my life and the bell rang and I stood there crying alone in the hall thinking I was going to get in huge trouble for being late. Luckily my teacher came out and was so great and understanding and helped me unlock it. I relaxed after that.

A lot of those things I did not know or think about. But I did know the thing about the cupcakes.

Jan said...

Are you sure you weren't at Moonmart? Really great list Debie.

Emily said...

Thanks for the enlightenment!

What time of day were you at Walmart? Those cupcakes sounded yummy. What a great mother-in-law.

I was wondering if I could get your email address so I could send you an invite to the recipe blog. Thanks!

Sara said...
