Chinese eyes are watching you....that is what this picture reminds me of (sing it to Hall & Oates). Brady came up with that little ditty which is pretty funny. The story that goes along is that we were at a missionary homecoming open house for a kid in his parents' ward. We were getting ready to leave and a little girl says to Brady, "your Mom has Chinese eyes". Hmm, I'm thinking how did she know that Gombs (Brady's Mom) was his Mom as she was at the party but not with us. Then I was thinking hmmm, Gombs doesn't have Chinese eyes. Then it all came together--she was talking about me. Pretty funny! I believe the more PC term is "almond shaped" which is fine with me because I L O V E almonds.
Anyway, I haven't posted forever because I feel like I never have anything of substance to say.
I thought about doing a whole post in the style of writing a letter like Meri does her Facebook status. For example...
Dear Beth,
Please post something, I am lame.
Love,
Your Blog
or
Dear Oatmeal Cookies,
Did I cut my cholesterol by eating 2 dozen of you in one day?
Love,
Beth
One more random story. Tonight Quinton spotted what he thought was a Queen Ant on the back patio. He was freaked out because it was huge and had wings. I don't know if there are such things as Queen Ants but he seemed to know what he was talking about. Brady trapped it in a bug catcher tube and left it out there. Quinton is certain that the rest of the ants are going to be mad that we captured their queen. He thinks they will attack as soon as they see us. He is really freaked out. So, then I thought it might be kind of funny (but also kind of cruel and I'm not going to do it) to write a note and leave it on the bedroom door that says:
Dear Quinton,
You took our queen and now you must pay. We ants are vengeful creatures. You better watch out.
The Ants
Dear Beth,
You have avoided me too long. Stop blogging this instant.
