Just a few terms heard around paradise on this fine day. Just in case you don’t know, Duke and I can speak without using a lot of words. There are some grunts, groans and growls, but limited words. We prefer to think of it as an effecient use of the English language.<\/p>\n
“Anything happening in there?”–meaning–Are either of those two does that are left to kid, acting like they are getting ready to do something?<\/p>\n
“Hungry?” –This means that I’m geting ready to cook something and if you want something, speak up now.<\/p>\n
“Not hungry.”–This phrase means that Duke will cook himself some Ramen noodles.<\/p>\n
“Butt Cold.”–means that it is below freezing and there is a stiff breeze of cold air that cuts in you half like a butt crack.<\/p>\n
“Feed yet?” meaning–Have you fed any of the animals on this place? If so, which ones? <\/p>\n
“Where’s your head?”–this means that Duke’s head is obviously up his rear and this is the first warning that he needs to extract it before I supply assistance. <\/p>\n
“Butt Ass Cold.”–temp has dropped a few degrees, snow is added and now the wind is blowing sideways like it tends to do in NW OK. Once you feel Butt Ass Cold, you won’t forget it. <\/p>\n
“Waterers?”–When answered yes, means that the wethers’ water buckets were dumped and filled with fresh water. <\/p>\n
“Whothaheck?”–When said loudly, this is a signal for Duke, that when somebody knocks on the back door at 8:15 pm, to remember to tell me that Amy Word is coming to pick up food drive stuff for church. <\/p>\n
“Flunk anything?”, followed by:<\/p>\n
“Any D’s?” followed by the next question:<\/p>\n
“You lying?”–This is my method of checking my favorite son’s semester grades. No need to check the computer. Just ask him with a stern voice and a direct stare and the actual grade, down to the decimal point, will be reported. <\/p>\n
*****This line of questioning brings me flash-backs of the daughter’s scholastic career. She would literally make herself sick to the stomach worrying about the 98 that she made on a test. The only way her younger brother gets sick to the stomach is if he drinks a half gallon of egg nog at one sitting. Grades dang sure don’t cause him any intestinal discomfort. <\/p>\n

Tomorrow is Friday, which means Christmas Break. And Duke and I have movie tickets. And maybe there will be some more babies. And we are less than a week until Festivus. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
