Mouths of People

The Mouths of People have been on fire lately.

Mouth of Sofia
Yesterday, while hugging my legs, Sofia got over excited and bit my thigh. For such a little mouth it really hurt and I was cursing and rubbing my leg while scolding Sofia. Sofia got upset that she hurt me, looked up at me, said "Hurts? Hurts? Sorry, Mama" and leaned over to kiss the area she bit.

Mouth of Felix
Felix is Sofia's best friend. He is 8 months older than Sofia and the son of our good friends Brooke and Dave. I got the following email from Brooke about a month ago.

A quick conversation with Felix while we're sitting down to dinner last night. We're having a nice 3-way conversation about exoplanets and work and airplanes and buses (to keep all parties interested) and Felix says:

Felix: Fuk.
Brooke: What? Oh, Fork. Can you say Forrrrk?
Felix: Fuk.

Hmmm. Ah, but clever me, I live in a bilingual environment so I can always use the French instead!

Brooke: Felix, can you say Forchette?
Felix: Bulshett.

Clever me, indeed.

Mouth of Dave
I get an email from Brooke this morning entitled "Conversation with Dave".

Brooke: Honey?.... Why do you have "Alvin and the Chipmunks" on your iPod Artists list?
Dave: What?! Where?
Brooke: Here.
Dave: Oh.........I swear it's porn.
Brooke: ...........I wish I could believe that.

Mouth of a Secretary
Every now and then we get forwarded emails from Young, sent by a secretary at his work. We got this one yesterday.

Subject: NEXT Tuesday, September 29th, I will leave at 5:45 p.m. to get my flu shot after work. Flu shots are between 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

I will stop on my way home from work next Tuesday, and stop over at One Centennial to get my flu shot. I will make sure I get there a few minutes before 6:00 p.m. to get my flu shot. I will just go home after the flu shot. I just wanted to let you know that I will be leaving 15 minutes early to get the flu shot.

Have a great night.

Unless I've confused my "mouths of people," Damien, I'd say a fuk.

OMG, I just called Young's office and pretended to be Nik so that I could speak with the secretary. It was awesome.
