you can't pick your friend's nose

Kiri bragged about Adalyn on her blog and I'm super proud of this one so here it goes. Last night I was with Adalyn at the table and somehow we got to talking about nose picking. She looked at me and said, "You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friends nose!" I guess she does pay attention to all my snippets of wisdom I send her way. She just turned 2 this month. To nail such a useful phrase like that word for word she must be practicing on her own. Can you think of a better thing for a 2 year old to be doing?

the 'church grope'

"The Wedding Singer" introduced the world to "church tongue" when describing the appropriate wedding kiss. I was recently traveling and stopped in for a church service. I sat in the back and saw the coolest thing. I call it the "church grope". It reminded me of the couples that walk around with their hands in each others' back pockets, except this is the church version (in the hymnal holder on the back of the pew). It's probably bad form to take pictures in church, but I had to. Enjoy.
