Often when one of the kids is being silly, I'll say, "you're a nutcake!" I guess this is my version of nutcase. Sometimes I'll tell Ruthie that she's the "nuttiest nutty cake of a girl" or such silliness. ;)

So the other day I told Isaac he was being a nutcake.
Isaac: No, YOU'RE a nutcake!
Me: No, YOU'RE a nutcake!
Isaac: No, you're a chocolate cake!

yum! ;)

Also, Isaac will now tell Ruthie "you're a little troublemaker!" which, ahem, he may have heard me say to her just once or twice. ;) Lately he's into calling people "cuckoo-head" (and other less adorable things like poopyhead, sigh) and this morning Ruthie started saying "cuckoo." D'oh! LOL. She is certainly learning a very different set of first words than the first child did. ;)

The local free newspaper that gets handed out in the subway had a headline the other day: "Humor can be funny." Well, uh, yes, I suppose that's true. Humor CAN be funny...The article itself was about one of those state-the-blindingly-obvious "studies" finding that when people in an office feel free to joke around with each other, their morale is better and they're more productive. Um, duh?

I still do not know what I'm making for Thanksgiving. This is stressing me out. But it's time to go so I shall post more on that later.
