Lost In Translation

Me (singing): ♫ Savez-vous planter les choux? À la mode? À la mode? Savez-vous planter les choux à la mode de chez nous? ♫
Dave: That song doesn't make any sense!
Me: It's stupid; sure.
Dave: No, it doesn't make any sense. Translate it.
Me: OK. "Do you know how to plant cabbages they way we do it around here."
Dave: À la mode?
Me: The way.
Dave: No, Jen. With ice cream.

That's Why I Bought This One

I was looking through the wallets for a long time before I saw this one, and then, even though the colours are not ones I would usually choose, this one spoke to me. And I was like "Yes, by! A talking wallet!"

(pronounced [kuβa])

Me: Mom and I are going to go to the Alex Cuba concert on Thursday.
Dave: Alex Cuba? School's Out Fo' Summa?

Crows

Dad: There's this one crow out on the front all the time. I guess it's someone in the family who died and came back.

MEC

Dad: I got a package here for your brother. I think it's mountain climbing equipment from Vancouver.
Me: Really? Mountain climbing equipment? He doesn't...wait.  Dad, is it possible it's Mountain Equipment?
