Quote of the day

Inspired by a bug's license plate: "Woad? Wouter would." Jonathan
"That reminds me! I spent a good chunk of the afternoon thinking up rhymes for 'alligator.'" Me
"It's times like this I wish I had a blog, just so I could record these moments." Jonathan

Yesterday's quote of the day

"Bug! Navy bug!" Mom
"Is there an army bug? Or a Marines bug?" Dad
"Nope, just a navy bug." Mom
"It's a navy of one." Me
"Maybe we should make navy bugs worth just one point." Dad
"No, I don't like that idea." Me
::returning to a previous topic:: "And we can call you Philly." Dad
"Whatever for?" Me
"You were born in the Philippines." Dad
"Oh, I thought you meant Philadelphia--" Me
"Yeah, me too, and she's only been there once." Mom
"No, no. But you know, that's where Bug-less MacArthur was. He never got any bug points." Dad
"But he always keeps trying. He shall return!" Me

For the horribly confused, we play the bug game all the time (just ask Megan K), and have an elaborate but straightforward scoring system. Your basic old VW bug is worth one point. New bugs are worth two points. Accessories add an additional point each, including redness, convertibility, a mask, or significant decoration such as ears and a tail. It's a beautiful thing. :-)
