idiosyncrasies

Elisabeth's idiosyncrasies are growing in number. They make me laugh. Here are two examples.

The important things to take with you from your bed when you decide to sleep on the floor, according to Elisabeth: pillow, comforter, sippy cup, one kleenex for nose picking. The kid cannot go to sleep unless her nose is picked clean. She said to my mother this weekend, "Grandmommy, what do we do if we don't have a tissue and we have to pick our noses?"

When playing games such as PIG, wrestling, crazy dog, it is important to take a break every so often, take off your socks, and clean out your toes. I don't know why.

The poor kid is so tormented, what with boogers in her nose and lint in her toes.

oh and my grocery store annoys me. I can get all of the groceries in 20 minutes then have it take 20 minutes for the checker to check out my stuff. Here's a good sign you shouldn't be working as a grocery store cashier: you see the asparagus in the bag and have to ask what it is. It's asparaus! If you don't know what asparagus looks like, you must be a lost cause when it comes to rhutabaga. Last week the SKU lookup system was down so they had to look up the prices of everything manually. The checker was actually annoyed with me that I had the audacity to not know the price of a bag of cookies. Shame on me. Wow, I was more annoyed than I thought. Glad I got that off my chest. The Safeway should at least get a self checkout lane. I'm far less annoyed with myself when I have to figure out if I got asparagus or rhutabaga.
