So Colin and I are both off this week – or rather, Colin is off, and I’m putting a lot of effort into my procrastination.
\nSo far, our time has been spent riding the rails – Colin’s fascination with the Metro has not waned since last year, although now he’s added the Underground City to his list of must-have experiences. So we’ve walked the Underground City, we’ve shopped, we’ve been to the cinema (The Incredibles), and today – as per Colin’s request – we’re going to the museum of fine arts.
\nColin says that he’s been once, but he didn’t get to see everything.
\nWe also lunched with Dina<\/a> and Bill<\/a>, and Colin has already extracted a promise from me that we’ll do that again next year. I assume he wants to relive…
\nThe Duck Jokes<\/b>
\n1. A duck walks into a pharmacy and asks the pharmacist “Do you have any duck food?” The pharmacist says “No, sorry, no duck food.” The next day, the duck comes back, and asks “Do you have any duck food?” The pharmacist says “No, as I said yesterday, no duck food.” The next day, the duck comes back again, and asks “Do you have any duck food?” The pharmacist says “No, we have no duck food. I’m getting tired of you asking me for duck food everyday – if you do it again, I’ll nail your feet to the floor, buddy.” The next day, the duck comes back, and asks “Do you have any nails?” The pharmacist says “No, we don’t carry nails.” So the duck asks “Do you have any duck food?”
\n2. Different duck, different pharmacy – the ducks says to the pharmacist “Do you have any Chapstick?” The pharmacist says yes, so the duck says “Great – put it on my bill.”
\n3. A man walks into a doctor’s office. The man has a large duck perched on his head. The doctor says “What seems to be the problem, sir?” The duck says “Well, there’s a guy on my ass.”
\n4. (not a duck joke, but the one that made Colin laugh loudest) Two English muffins are in a toaster oven. The first muffin says “Wow, it’s hot in here.” The second muffin says “Oh my God! A talking muffin!”
\nYes, I’d say the education of my son proceeds apace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
