My grandma used to pretend she was weaving rugs when she had to think. When she died, she passed the talent to my children.

It's a cherished air-loom in my family.

Story time!

A baker and his wife had a child. A lovely, healthy boy. Since the wife was mad about history, she wanted to give the boy a name suitable for a man destined for great things. Jokes were made, names proposed, but in the end the decision was made - they named the boy Attila.

Attila showed great potential from an early age - he excelled at sports, grew strong, but his other capabilities were astonishing as well. He learned and went through encyclopedias like a fire through forests. Surely enough, he was bound to become a great man some day.

Apart from being an exceptional young man, he loved animals as well. He was kind and compassionate, equally cherishing all forms of life. Since his parents loved him so much, they bought him all he ever wanted - but he did not ask for much, he was never greedy.

Growing up, he has received many animals as pets - there were cats, dogs, hamsters and even exotic animals - tarantulas, snakes, scorpions, you name it.

Their home became a sort of an animal sanctuary, and Attila took care of all animals with love and passion. But, the family business was starting to suffer when his father the baker got ill.

Being the amazing young man he was, Attila stepped up and started learning secrets of the trade - he started baking like no one else.

But, since he devoted his time to the bakery, the animals were starting to be neglected. He tried feeding them, petting them, but nothing helped.

Slowly, one by one the animals passed away leaving behind only the most resistant ones - the snake and a few spiders.

The spiders were easy to take care of, but the snake wouldn't eat, no matter what. Saddened, Attila came to his mother and asked for advice as he was all out of ideas. Of course, being the caring mother she always was, she passed on her knowledge to Attila:

"This anaconda don't want none, unless you got buns, Hun."

Dad-joked my Dad today

Me: (after just finishing an afternoon nap) I just discovered the best band to nap to

Dad: what's that?

Me: R.E.M.

He immediately groaned and rolled his eyes, but then he smiled and I could tell he was proud.

Gf: I learned a lot about insurance at work today. Specifically high risk pools.

Me: I don't like high risk pools...unless there are at least two life guards on duty.

(The look of disgust is something I'll cherish forever)

Got this one in at the market

Mom was visiting and we were at the market looking at some garden herbs. I grabbed one, looked at my watch for a few seconds, and then looked at her and stated, "about 9:15."

She looked at me like "da fuq?", and I turn the herb to show her: English Thyme.

The groan that followed will be cherished.
