I couldn’t find if this thread has ben started here; it was a good source of amusement on the old AO.

Background: I am replacing/enlarging our deck, and the new building code requires substantial footers, minimum of 2 feet deep and some holes are almost 3x3 to accommodate forms. Subsurface is chert, and topsoil is as thin as 3". It is taking me a while to dig. College age child says “You know, if drug dealers were to take you out into the desert and have you dig your own grave before killing you, I think you’d be OK for a while.”

my 4yo declares that she will only eat “helpy” food. So I ask her if she wants some fish. It’s “helpy” I say. She responds “No! I want only helpy food like chocolate!”

5yo guest says the blessing at lunch:
“God is great, God is good, let us thank Him for our food. You may now eat quietly. Amen”

Learned that at school, huh? :laughing:
