really vague

Dear QotD?ers,

Wow, that's the best response in a while! GO RAINBOWS! I have taken the opportunity to find some itnernet videos of songs mentioned in the comments.
Origional Rainbow Connection, w/ Kermit. w/ Willie Nelson (music doesn't start until 2 minutes in), w/ Jason Mraz. They Might Be Giants Roy G. Biv. The song I learned in kindergarten, Sing a Rainbow. Oh, Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Reading Rainbow theme song!

Tomorrow I'm going to Aggieland to help Jackie and her boyfriend celebrate getting their Aggie Rings (Whoop!). (Yes, her boyfriend is my brother, but that's what the younger one gets for not participating) There's also some sort of giant new ring statue that I'll have to get pictures with. And maybe I'll jump in a fountain for good measure. I mean, it'll only be 70°, right?

Today's Question of the Day? is:
~BUMP~ WHAT WAS THAT!?
Love,
The Asker

P.S. Who remembers "Tee hee! I'm a girl!" ?

That was the ice falling out of the ice maker and into the ice keeper!

Probably Annelise dropping a toy out of her cage. When she's bored, she drops her toys out of her cage/crib/wherever she is one by one and then cries because she doesn't have anything to play with.

Somebody better go clean up that mess!!!

Nick was bringing in the water bottles one day...you know, the five gallon bottles filled with spring water that go on dispensers for that refreshing "AAAAH." I heard the bump and then a gush and my first resposne was:

That better not be water I hear gushing all over the place!!

Clearly it was! It was such a classic mother response! What a dork!

To make matters worse, the water bottle had broken, split in two, when it landed on Nick's foot!!!!

By the time I got to the scene, Nick had that look of extreme pain on his face and water was gushing all over the entry hall. And then the doorbell rang. This was an obvious test to see if I knew what to respond to first. I was certain that my first answer of, "Sit down and start crying" was probably not my best option.

Nick is now in the record book for "Coolest Catastrophe" and "Most Awesomely Acquired Injury."

Have a great weekend!!

That was me. Stubbing my toe on the chair! In the dark.

Anne,
Bet it was not as much water as the 3 inch broken water pipe in our building at our school the other day. It was like a cartoon. Open the door
and 2 feet of water comes gushing out. At about
11:30, all the water in the building had to be turned off. Hmmmmmm!
"Mrs. Svatek,
I have to go to the bathroom."
Oh Dear, what shall we do??
I call the office as we have no porta potties.
"Well, they can go to the bathroom, they just can't flush".
Ewwww!
After lunch, school dismissed at 1:15.
That was a pretty exciting day.

Lunch? A carload of teachers went to the nearest WhataBurger to go to the bathroom. Good Times!

That was me, repeatedly banging my forehead into my desk when the documentation on how to restart apache on our live server failed me, and none of my googled search suggestions worked either!

Yeah, I sill love the Kermit rendition the best.

They Might Be Giants are awfully fun. I also really like Rocknoceros, but they have no rainbow song. I love (I Wish We Used) The Metric System by Rocknoceros. It is funny, is about math and has a tuba in it!

You know, Kathleen, if those kids are reluctant to learn math, threatening them with a flood and evacuating the school seems a bit extreme and off the mark!! I could be wrong about this, but it seems like the last time a flood was used to motivate people in the right direction, the lesson was not learned.

Try bringing a tuba to class!

Jackie said...

The strange thing is he checks this everyday and just doesn't answer.

Oh well, I get to feel special. =)

When I read that, it reminded me of last weekend. Matthew and I saw Third Eye Blind in Houston and this strange two-man politically fueled rap band opened for them and had a song that just said "Things that go BUMP in the night."

However, I'm not entirely sure what it was all about.

WHOOP!!

Me running into a wall is pretty likely.

Dear The Asker,
It was me! Bwahahaha! Here I come!!!

Sincerly,
Dr. Fan-dance-o, Lord of the dance floor

P.S. When was the last time you heard of a super hero using the delete key to solve their problems? If life was that easy then we would have delete keys for everything. "ohh I don't like this dinner. DELETE!!!" see? It's impractical.

That was an evil doctor demon by the name of DrFan-Dance-O! I have been hunting him for years and I am back on the trail!!! Thank u The Asker!!! :)

Mom-in-law, that ice maker! always making noise!

Angel-A, what a fun game for Annelise! She's so smart to come up with new games.

Anne, A FLOOD! that's pretty extreme for a bump. I think you win.

Mom, ew, stubbed toes hurt sooo much. I bet that was one surprised Whataburger!

TamiJean, SERVERS! APACHE! SQL! PARCING! MEMORY LEAK!

Jackie, oh, that sounds like an interesting band. Do you remember who it was?

Jessi, ouch. are you on skates?

Dr. Fan-Dance-O, EEK. though I am excited about having a dance floor lord. P.S. woudln't a superhero with a delete button be awesome? "OH no! the bomb is about to go off! DELETED!"
