"Yes, I know I'm a nudge." -Elizabeth

My friend, "Lizzie," really likes the character Riley on National Treasure. She was quoting the line from the movie, but I had, for some odd reason, never really "heard" it before. The use of nudge in this particular part of speech had me rolling! :D

"Japan!?!"

For some strange reason, as I was driving home today with the family, I had my greeting with Sophie stuck in my head, like a broken record. I'll explain. Sophie is 13 and autistic, so she says and does things that are... out of the norm, shall we say. For an unknown reason to me, she loves me and gets excited when I come to watch her and her siblings a couple times a week.

Here is how our greeting typically goes:

"Japan!?!" -Sophie (More like Ja-Pan)

"Parker?" -Me (She does not like the name Sophie, so she has us call her Parker)

"Japan!?!" -Sophie

"Parker?" -Me

"My digital 12! Ja-lighting! Jamica! My little Zeter bug!" -Sophie (The Zulu patrol used to be one of her favorite cartoons about aliens, and one of the aliens was named Zeter and she looked like a purple ant. Quite a compliment to be called that.)

Then I get a hug, and probably a kiss or two on the shoulder.

So, on the way home, I had this dialog going through my head, and for some unknown reason I began repeating it! And laughing! "I feel like I'm going mad!"

It's strange, how, when I get there to watch her, I think how tiresome it is, but when I step back, it's really rather humorous. And seriously, who else gets to be called Japan? I mean, that is a privilege! :) You only wish you could be called that too!

This just struck me as quite funny! Hope you enjoy...

Note to self:

Have you ever noticed those "Wildlife Viewing Area" signs? The brown ones? 

The thing that has always been nagging, at the back of my mind, is the symbol/picture displayed. Is it a picture of the thing you stand on to view? Is it some kind of statue that some how goes with wildlife viewing? It reminds me of Stonehenge.... Questions like this would constantly go through my subconscious every time I would see one. 

That is, until today. Today something clicked and what do you know?! It's a picture of binoculars standing up! Doh!
