One day to Earth Day
Elliot has been telling me about the poor suffering pandas for ten days
He was telling me the acid rain was burning the pandas
Which was causing them not to have babies
He asked me if I knew what trees were
He's so much like his mom
He says, "Trees are carbon dioxide vampires"
I told him that would be a great band name
He didn't get it
Two worlds collided
You bought this badminton set at Goodwill
At a garage sale
Well, it came from out of the house
Husband in a bubble
Whatever you had taught him was wrong
Proper badminton form
Let me show you
What? What you learned at La Moille badminton school?
I can't believe you tried to describe this
What the hell are you talking about?
Your boy cannot do overheard
Oh, baby
I won't even listen to you and your un-athletic skills
It's good he's not you, Kris
He just doesn't get it as I am trying to help him
You're a like a lion in the grass
Look at that birdie fly
He can't hit it back and forth
I wanted to work with him
And you wonder why he doesn't want to play with you
You are a weird nerd jock hybrid
You're a NOCK
He'll have flash backs
Badminton is where business gets done
Watching his badminton future crumbles before my eyes
Don't send the hate mail
I get it
I need to engage with him on another level
He's going through a growth spurt
He's 7 asking if the weather is changing
Sensitive to barometric pressure
Taking the kids to lunch
Ted's Montana Grill
Ted's Buffalo Hut
There is nothing more environmentally friendly than buffalo farming
What are you saying? Twice as much methane
Maggie is all about it
Elliot looks at Ted's Bison Hut
Looks left and says, I just want Subway
"I won't get a bag of chips with my burger"
Wanted to do something a bit special
He says, "Dad, I don't like fancy. I like Goodwill and Subway."
Half the time he is working on bits
What's 10 minus 8?
I think you owe me $2, Mom
I get to the foreclosure/divorce house
Ring the door bell
The laundry basket was longaberger
It was like you designed the house
There was a beautiful chandelier in his bathroom
He wanted $1,800 for it
Then he says, "I paid $23,000 for it."
They make excellent copies of this at Menards
Then, Mr B, there it was
I became the sucker
Do you like the table?
It happens
How much do you want for the table?
Well . . .
I paid $12,000 for it
This is a garage sale
The table turned to fire when he told $2,300
Can you grab me something out of that crystal wine in the box holder
It was so McMansion
It was like he was trying to get on Cribs and it didn't work out
Same outfit as yesterday
Because he is single now

what? no love for my "croncast groupie" button?
that's OK. yep. I'm fine.
I AM NOT AT ALL HURT! I WILL PULL THROUGH THIS!!!!
*weep*
also...there are rules for badminton? because when we were little, my brothers and I would just try to hit the birdie at each other as hard as possible. I thought that was the POINT!
;)

Isn't badminton an Olympic sport?? Hmm..lol. I think Betsy's idea of teaching Eliot was rather ingenious. Betsy, get him those paddles with the velcro balls that they have for the beach. Either that or put velcro on the birdie!

Bad news, Kris. There already is a new golf, and it ain't badminton. It's cycling:

that is scary. however, i could put my childhood bmx'n boy skills to use in a new way.
rest assured that you won't find me "wheeling and dealing" on the side of the street. dirt only. or as they say in boulder . . . off-road.
badminton would be way cooler, though.

my hubby put your show on my i pod and I don't usually like pod casts but yours makes me laugh. i would love for you both to continue doing the show and I would change nothing. Screw everyone elses opinion (at least the negative ones). Betsy is my hero for saving all that $$. I am personally a coupon freak and have started sellin my knowledge. keep it up
