Where the Sidewalk Ends

The following stories actually happened. They made me laugh. Maybe you will laugh too.

After our dinner at Chick-Fil-A tonight we saw three people dressed as cows come out to greet the kids and give them balloons. Mosely said, "Mom, maybe those just aren't real cows. Maybe those are people in costumes." London said, "I want to go give that cow a high five." And Bergen jumped up, ketchup still on his cheek, and shouted, "I want to milk it!"

On the drive home tonight from said restaurant, Kevin was playing a question game with the kids. He asked, "What is your favorite animal?" Bergen first decided on a buffalo but then changed his vote to the zebra. Mosely first said, "A balloon." (Probably because one was still in her hand.) Kevin asked again and she laughed. A lot. And then Mosely answered, "Elton John!"

Lies Women Believe

Survivor Season Finale - and the Keigley house was all about celebration! We had a Micronesian themed gathering. And if you google Micronesia you will discover that typical foods include pork, rice and sweet potatoes. (I apologize for using "google" as an offical verb.) Leanne brought the pork - southern style in the form of pork rinds (of which I did NOT partake). Leanne brought the rice and crabcake item and she even brought along the rewards challenge food - chocolate cake that had to be eaten by the handful. (In fact, without Leanne, the theme would have been a little off! Thanks!!)

Kevin provided another challenge in the form of "bean boozled" Jelly Belly jelly beans. The jelly beans look normal and are mixed with normal jelly beans, but instead of tasting like, say - buttered popcorn, they tasted instead like, say - vomit, baby wipe, pencil shavings, black pepper, booger, rotten egg or moldy cheese. Yes, that's right. And everyone took turns trying the jelly beans - always uncertain if your mouth would be filled with a sweet plum taste or a molded cheese taste. Walter was the luckiest - no gross flavors at all. Nate was the most unlucky - rotten egg, followed by vomit right in a row. But yet, the boys keep playing. Hmmmmm.

We could not believe Amanda won - no one loves Parvati except Parvati. And we think Ozzy may have more emotional problems than we were aware of. Editing is a marvelous feature for television producers. But we all still love James and will be cruising cemeteries looking for his work - particularly Jane!
