From my 3 years old daughter's mouth:

There's moon up there, it falls down and attacks.
:ka:

Perhaps I shouldn't let her watch same programs from TV as big brother. Should settle for teletubbies or fimbles.

That's actually kinda cute! Did she say how the moon attacks? Does the moon have teeth? Or does it just roll over you like a giant beach ball?

Heehee, I love little kids. They're so darn cute and say the funniest things!

Although, i have 3 dogs, and I'm perfectly content with them and NO kids! LoL

Smarties aren't a hard candy - those are rockets. Smarties have delicious candy-coated shells that hide a tasty chocolate interior! I'd post a link but the forums wouldn't let me.

Also, to go with the random animal theme? Bears = not so cute*. I am very glad that I am not going back to the bear infested site that I worked at before. Two bear encounters in one day is a little much!

*except when they're treed cubs, because that's darned cute even if you're in immenant mum-danger!

No way! They're a hard, pressed powder candy. I've never even heard of rockets! :jg: Course, in England they call cookies biscuits, so it's prolly a regional thing! :jg:

I agree with Yvonne, smarties are chocolate with a sugar shell - see

All that proves is that it is indeed a regional thing! :jg: Like football and soccer! Cookies and biscuits! Car trunks and car boots! :jg: Just this time instead of one thing with two different names, we've got two things with the same name. Well... actually the cookies and biscuits fits that category too. :jg:

I've had way too much sugar today! :compress:

Thank you Vickie!! I knew I couldn't be the only person who knew of a non-chocolate version of Smarties! :jg:

I heard on the radio that Owen Wilson has decided to not go into rehab. Instead, he's hired a "Sober Buddy" for like $700 an HOUR. This person's job is to basically hang out with Owen and keep him from drinking and/or indulging in drugs and act like a good influence on him.

How the HELL can I become a "Sober Buddy?" Where do you go to apply for that job?

Those are Refreshers!!!!

*chuckles @ the smarties*

I remember refreshers and smarties and have always thought M & M's were a copycat of smarties.

I left a bowl in the sink here at work to soak last night cause it had major stuck-on action going on, and I was gonna wash it when I went on lunch - and then use it again, right? Well, one of my coworkers washed it instead. She was acting all put out with me a bit ago and I couldn't figure out why... till I saw the bowl had been washed. I didn't leave that bowl there for her to wash, so I don't know why she took it on herself to wash it then be pissy with me.

There another random fact of life I've been pondering: Don't people ever stop to check which train they get up on?

I travel between work and home by train. There's two kind of train-lines: the fast one that goes from A to Z without stops and the slow one that stops in every station between. They leave from same platform, five minutes apart. I prefer the fast one, but I get home with both. Almost daily someone realizes that they are in wrong train when the fast one speeds past their home-station. Then they go: F***! Isn't this one stopping at X? When's the next stop? *add more cursing* If only they had checked the letter at the train's outside (or the platform screen.) :withstupid:

(The kids I can understand and feel sorry for.)

Paula, I understand the pain. All summer I rode New Jersey Transit between Eric's and school/work, and it was a pain. We caught an express, and they would make an announcement "This is an express to New York, the last local stop will be New Brunswick followed by Newark International Airport. We will not be stopping at Edison, Metropark(lalala)". And there were STILL people who would want to go to, say, Rahway, get on, ask the conductor if it went to Rahway once he came by, and flipped out. *sigh*
