1. Choose which answer best describes what Katie did not find funny in the least:
a) For a time, when Katie’s dad was asked to pass something at the dinner table, he would pick up whatever was closest to him, regardless of its identity, and pass it to the bewildered recipient.
b) Around this same time, he described a former colleague to her like this: “Well, you couldn’t trust him as far as you could throw him, but if you gave him a job that wasn’t impossible, he could do it.”
c) Around this same time, he decided that the best way to get Katie out of bed (necessarily or not), was to tap incessantly on her bedroom door while chanting, “Katiegetup, Katiegetup, Katiegetup, Katiegetup,” ad nauseum.
I think you have all aced this one. And, Dad, it may interest you to know that I now get up at approximately 6:30 6:52 every weekday morning of my own volition. And sometimes of Stephan’s.

The tapping!!! It was the tapping!!! Cause I would lay in bed in the morning and listen to him do that to you. I would laugh then roll over and go back to sleep. HAHA Sucked to be you.
It’s hard for those of us who are internet-access-challenged to keep up with your blog and even harder to post comments. And when we IAC people do post a comment, we have to remember where the comment was posted and then later go back to it to see your response. That’s a lot of work. So I have the following comments to make, in order from most to least recently posted:
I like quizzes in which I get the answer right.
I’m perpetually impressed when people read the labels.
Did you have to ask the nice people at Safeway, perhaps your cousin, which seasonings to use for grinning chicken sandwich or did you rely on your sophisticated palate to figure it out?
Big Brother… what will we do with you?
I just listened to a sermon about expletives, including fake ones. I felt rather evil afterward… and I decided I would from then on just use real adjectives, like “bad” and “angry.” So far it hasn’t worked out so well…
Who’s Joel?
And that’s all I have time for; except for the comment that I actually entered.
Sounds like what time I get up, to the sound of “mama? mama? baby? baby?”
a lot better than the tapping and chanting, i’m sure :)
1. Pass.
2. Pass.
3. I did not have to ask the nice people at Safeway, including my cousin, who no longer works at Safeway (besides, the sandwich was made by someone else in town and sold to Safeway to sell to me). It was mostly just a lot of curry.
4. Pass.
5. I will keep my newly formed “KISM” principle to myself, then.
6. Joel played the piano at our wedding.
