And now a few examples of how odd my household is...

1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.
In my house, we need to leave the lid down, or the cat will cheerfully jump into the toilet. Therefore, anyone who leaves the lid up gets to bathe the cat. So we both have to lift the lid.

1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.
Sure, shopping is a sport!
Step 1: Find all items as quickly as possible.
Step 2: Get through the checkout line as quickly as possible.
Step 3: Leave and go home as quickly as possible.
Actually, Harrison's the one who takes a long time shopping... it takes him forever to pick stuff out.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
OK, this one isn't so odd. In fact, it explains a lot.

1. You have enough clothes.
1. You have too many shoes.
Harrison actually has more clothes and more shoes than I do. I kid you not.

1. I am in shape. Round is a shape.
Harrison says this a lot, although it's usually in response to me complaining *I* need to get in shape.

Peace & Luv, Liz
