My Living Room |
There was a fork, a knife,an old telephone bill, 3D glasses from a movie we saw last week, lotions with no tops on them, rubber bands for my kid's braces, an old People magazine I have every intention of reading, receipts, paint samples, and Lord knows what else. I was still standing there staring at the mess wondering why my purse always looks like this, when Sarah frantically came running back in the front door telling me she had accidently locked the van, while it was running and I immediately remembered…………….I..........don't..........have.............a................spare.......key...............!!!
After I was sure I had heard her correctly, I looked at her and said,
YOU DID WHAT???????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brooke, sensing my distress looked at Sarah square in the face and exclaimed, "That was so tacky, Sarah!" Tacky is Brooke's new word. Because her latest obsession is DISNEY IMAGINEERING, she has become a walking app regarding the history of both Disneyland and Disney World. Evidently Walt Disney did not like the "tacky" hotel and advertising signs directly outside of the Disneyland gates and that was partly his motivation to purchase the land in Florida which later became Disney World. (I learned this from Brooke) For some unknown reason, Brooke has latched onto that word and is readily identifying anything she finds unpleasing with it.
Anyway and luckily, disaster was averted when I remembered my stepdad has a spare key. I called him at work and the girls and I drove the whole 2 minutes from my house to his job and look what we picked up-
In just a few minutes we were back home and then leaving again in a VERY COOLED OFF van!
Brooke said I was 'tacky" because I take too many pictures and because I always say to say cheeeeeese. |
Yes, it was a house completely decorated in beer cans. I bet their neighbors love them.
I had to get out and get a better view of this one.
Sarah thought it looked beautiful but Brooke stayed in the van and told us it was tacky, of course.
After our visit to the body shop, the girls and I celebrated another hot day of summer with a stop on the way home at one of my favorite places ......
There is nothing like a Reese's Blizzard.
