Last night Sharmila was lecturing me on why at least on the weekends I should sleep in and not wake up early. I asked her how else did she think I would get all the things done that I get done – speaking of which I asked her if she had noted I had started doing all the dishes every weekend without even she asking me to. And how come I never got Thanks? Her memorable response – “I was afraid if I talk about it, it will get jinxed” 🙂 I canceled the alarm 🙂

Last night, one more of those funny conversations ensued with my seven year old Nikita. I asked her if she would change her last name after she got married. Without even thinking, she said No. Curious, I asked, Why? Perhaps, because mommy did not change either? Pat came the reply – “No. I am sure I will land up marrying somebody with a funny name like Johnson Blackberryhead”. That pretty much settled it for me 🙂

Catching up on this week’s news, I came across this headline: “Canada naval officer arrested for leaking military secrets”. Once again, I am appalled by my lack of general knowledge. Canada has military secrets???? 🙂

This is an outrageously funny picture. What happened to Spiderman after he got married 🙂

Front page headline in today’s USA TODAY: “Is the obesity epidemic flattening?” I am like – “Hell, yeah! At some point of time, we are going to run out of people” 🙂

Last night, after landing from DC, Tasha, Niki and I were having dinner together and we started naming all the NFL football teams. We started from the West going East – Seattle, San Francisco, Oakland, San Diego and were already moving to Denver and Arizona, when Nikita piped up “Does San Diego have a lot of electronics?”. Tasha and I were like – “What? Why? …. Oh!” and then we were on the floor laughing….

Getting back into the hotel after the run by Potomac, I noticed a bunch of high schoolkids in the lobby (visiting DC). Then I walked into the elevator with another lady who seemed to come from the crowd. What followed was really funny.
Trying to be polite, I apologized for sweating and asked if she is with the kids. “No. I am not that young”. I had a real weird feeling about it. So, I hastened to clarify – “No, no, I meant are you a teacher or chaperone”. She quickly retorted “No. I am not that old either”.
I am like – can I have my original weird feeling back? This is worse 🙂
