Boy Fighting

You'd think that in a house full of girls, my poor dad would never have anything to do with "boy playing". You would think wrong. Sure,we have a closet full of barbies, and littlest petshops, and other girl toys,but we also have a huge arsenal of nerf guns. My personal favorite is the automatic disk-throwing  "Vortex" , with the machine gun in close second. Sarah, Dad, and I are also very skilled at the art of Kung Fu. Just ask mom about it, she sees it in the kitchen all the time. We've also been known to yell out threats at each other, like the other day at the pool when two ladies were talking about how nice it is to get away from all the rowdiness that their boys cause, when I suddenly yell,"DON'T START SOMETHING YOU CAN'T FINISH, SARAH!!!". Lesson: There is no escaping "boy fighting" .

Lucy

If you reference my last post, you would be aware of a glorious truth:
WE GOT A DOG.
Her name is Lucy. She loves peanut butter,her blankie, her bear, and he tennis ball launcher. She's the most adorable thing you've ever seen:) Me and Dad drove 9 1/2 hours last Friday to go get her, listening to Ceasar Mellan's audiobook on raising the perfect puppy the whole way. She fell asleep on my lap, but for most of the way she slept on the back of my seat and completely took it over. Grandma suggested I blog The Chronicles of Lucy, so more will probably come;)

Thank you Mom, especially because you've been losing sleep over the subject. 

Deep thinking

I've been thinking lately, and I just had to post this. So you know how there are those overly paranoid that check behind their shower curtains for a murderer or something? Well, I have a question for those people:

What EXACTLY do you plan to do if you find one?

Tork

Tork.Tork tork tork,tork tork tork.(Is that even how you spell it?) For those of you who don't know what tork is, APPARENTLY, its resistance against a lever that makes it work. Or something like that... 

But, my fourth grade physics education did not cover tork. This knowledge would have been greatly appreciated while helping my dad assemble the lawn sweeper. I was using a wrench thing, and it wasn't screwing the thing in, so my dad says,"Use some tork Abby!" I get up to go look in the manual to find out what tork is and looks like. I thought it was a tool of sorts. But then I heard dad go, "Resistance! Tork is resistance!" Ohhhhhhhhhhh. I see where they're going with this!
