Awesome stuff my husband has said lately: 2

R: [home from grocery store] Hey!
W: Hey.
R: [Pretends he asks how her shopping trip went.] Well, I found cumin, luckily. Actually, a funny thing happened. I ran into my friend A. [an expat mom who speaks German] and she saved me from accidentally buying caraway instead of cumin. They have almost the exact same name in German. And they look alike. So that was a really lucky break! We need cumin for dinner tonight! But, now we've got tons of cumin.

[1 hour later]

W: [helping prepare dinner] Oh no! I think we're out of cumin!
R: [shakes head]

[Edie is now in the "Dis!" "Dat!" phase where she wants you to label everything in sight. Her amusement for this cataloging know no bounds. But it does make for good conversation points when you get sick of hearing about her ignorance regarding current affairs.]

E: "Dis!" "Dat!?" (points in some general direction)
W: [looks up from his computer] "That's a lot of different things. It's hard to explain." [Back to the computer he goes.]
