Beats by Dre

A beats by Dre commercial came on while we were watching football:

Crystal (within 5 seconds): Eww! Is this a sexting commercial!?

She insists that I post the commercial to prove she isn't just being random.

Decomposition

On a hike.

John Cheng: "Is it ok if I throw my apple core down this hill?"

Crystal (immediately): "You can't throw a body down there!"

She later explained that her criteria for whether or not something is appropriate to decompose in an area is if you could let a body decompose there. For example, apples trees don't naturally grow in that area so...

Brewing

Crystal, as we were talking about the process of breastfeeding and pumping: "It's like you're brewing, 24/7!"

She was referencing how much work we have to do when brewing to bottle the beer and then sanitize all of the equipment.

What are we?

On an early morning drive to camping. Crystal had just woken up and was coming back to the car from the Safeway bathroom. Her first words in an hour and a half, completely serious:

"You know, with all this talk of robots, we're the REAL robots."

...what?

Presbyterians

"Ooohh, so Presbyterians are more like an ethnicity. That makes more sense. All Presbyterians have bubbly butts." -Crystal.

This after reading Angela's Ashes together, where Francis' grandmother is scolding him for his standing-up, Presbyterian, North of Ireland hair and me explaining to Crystal the history with the Scotch-Irish, the English plantations, and the shame of the north.

Upon reading this, Crystal decrees that no context could be sufficient to explain her chain of thought.

Public vs. Private

Before going out to canvass for Robb Davis:

Michael: I like being seen in public with you.

Crystal: and I like being seen on private property with you!

On Musicals

"I do like musicals. Just not when the women sing really high. Then I want to stomp on their face."

"I hope Suessical isn't a bunch of small children singing high and rhyming, like blue, red,
Orange..."

-Crystal

Birthday

This morning while brushing our teeth.

Me: (Randomly, in my best Bilbo Baggins voice) It's my eleventy-eleventh birthday!

Crystal: (Immediately, though half asleep) No it's not! Hobbit day isn't until September.

Me: ...how did you know that?

Crystal: It's in my calendar.

Yep. The more you know...

The 80's

Crystal: "Eww, everything about the 80's makes my ears want to barf."

Later: "Nothing good happened in the 80's... except me being born."

She later told me that I'm nice too.

C-R-Y-S-T-A-L

While reading e-mail: "My name looks funny in letters."

Disney Commercial

This commercial came on while we were watching Modern Family. Watch, then scroll down for Crystal's honest question midway through...

"He has Alzheimers?" Dead serious.

Watch it again with this perspective. It makes so much sense.

Jumping

"Why can't I leave the ground?"

- Crystal, reflecting on her jumping abilities

Last Thought of the Day

After we had said goodnight and I thought we were going to sleep, Crystal in an excited whisper:

"Oh my goodness, Michael! A merchant sells merchandise!"

She loves etymology and word connections.
