Me: “You won’t find the person you are meant to be with if you never leave the house.” Tommy: “I’m going to meet someone on WoW.” Updated with a bonus Tommyism: Tommy and a friend decided that they were going to a party. I got upset that Tommy couldn’t provide me with an address of […]
Evan: “What’s text?” Amy: “That’s when you use your thumbs to write words on the phone.” Evan: “I get to press buttons?” Amy: “Yes.” Evan: “Can I do that now?” Amy: “If you got one.” Evan: racing out of the room “I gotta go find a phone.”
It’s time for yet another installment of: “Things Knoxvillians need to quit putting in their recycling cans.” food – Your garden can recycle it, but the waste collectors can’t. adult or infant diapers – Yuck! syringes, needles, sharps and anything that has been used to penetrate skin – I know your doctor taught you how […]

Their disappointment is nothing compared to how I feel about my Jerry Lewis coordination. Tonight, I had one of those extremely […]
The first time Sarah ate a meal BEFORE her date, I shrugged it off as teenage weirdness. Since then, I’ve noticed it is routine behavior for her to eat food before or after, but never while actually out on a date. I imagine her telling the waiter, “I’m not really hungry. I’ll just have a […]
