Things You Thought You Heard Wrong, but Didn't

Haa hahaaahaaa hhahahha haaa aha hoo. Gulp, whew.

I was sitting here typing an e-mail when James, my work-study kid, starting making weird sounds behind me. "Damn you, fanny-pack," I thought I heard. I swivelled in my chair and found James trying to stuff a paperback into a teensy-cute le Sportsac fanny-pack.

"Oh, that's what I thought you said." I eyed his pack with derision and amusement.

"Someday. Someday, they'll come back in and I'll be cool," he said.

Damnit, that kid is cute. [If he ever reads that sentence he will hate me forever 1. for calling him cute, 2. for calling him a kid--he's 19.]
