Kindergarten Straight Talk

Critics of blogs usually say that they are nothing but sources of sappy family news. Not one to disappoint the critics, here are some cute things the Dude said over the last several days:

"Why does St. Paul suck?" This in response to grafitti he read while walking through downtown St. Paul on Sunday afternoon. How did I respond? "Suck is a bad word. We don't use bad words. Besides, St. Paul doesn't suck [oops - I just used a bad word.]"

"My sister is like a package." Asked to explain, the Dude replied, we are always dropping her off somewhere. Wednesday is the day the Dude has to ride along to his sister's tutor session, and then choir. It's all about "her stuff", so he feels like the package delivery guy.
