 word “screwed”? What context was she using this word? Was this line copied out of a book she’s reading? Should I be pre-reading the Wimpy Kid series before I hand them over to her?
And who was Puggles?:
The comments were nearly as entertaining as the note:
And there you have it.
A toy doctor.
Phew!
Well that is a LOT better reason than all the ones that were going through your head..
Yes! I think we have a few years of innocence left in that one!
Oh my gosh! HILARIOUS! : )
Absolutely hilarious!
That is just SO funny!!! Breathing a sigh of relief for you!!! :)
funniest thing ever. I’d have been scared too and would’ve probably turned into the Inquisition trying to figure it out :)
I had to be careful to ask very nonchalantly because I didn’t want to draw any attention to the fact the note could mean something very different!
I need to take a lesson from you then, b/c I have NO POKER FACE! LOL :) (and I jump to conclusions so easily too!)
Ha! I forgot to check back on ig and see if you figured it out!! Kids are great!
As I was reading this I was thinking “Puggles? That rings a bell”
I like her explanation much better though – because the Puggles I was thinking about is a fictional character on another blog I follow and he doesn’t seem to be a nice one.
Gotta love those kiddos – their imaginations are vast and the perception of the world is so innocent and literal.
Nine times out of ten when kids say or do something that causes us to think they have grown up too fast, we find out that their language/behavior/inappropriate laughing is either a coincidence or pure innocence. And then they turn twelve.
Yes! I’ve learned I shouldn’t ever jump to conclusions with them because right now any kind of inappropriate language is usually unintentional. (12 is just around the corner though) ;)
Hi Kat,
I would have been research the best child shrink in my area. You are way cooler than me. Loved it!!
This made my heart stop, and then, I laughed. LOVE IT> :)
Which is EXACTLY how I felt…while taking the time to Instagram it. lol
Omg the reasoning is brilliant. I would have been very considered otherwise about who was screwing who and why someone was laying on someone’s lap!
Whew. I remember the first time I tried to use the word “balls” with my mom. As in that takes balls. Well, I knew enough that it meant courage somewhat but that’s about all I had figured out. I in no way connected to anatomy. Well, my mom’s reaction let me know that there was something more to this “balls” word than I surmised.Safello customer support is closed until Monday June 25:th.

Bitcoin is a digital currency – what’s known as a cryptocurrency – which is used to buy or exchange products and services. You can use bitcoins to pay for take-away food, computers and airline tickets – just like with normal money.
In record time, bitcoin has revolutionised traditional systems of handling money. As the cryptocurrency on the market that has had the biggest commercial breakthrough, it’s growing every day and is challenging accepted ways of looking at value, stock exchanges and markets.
Unlike cash or other, traditional currencies on the stockmarket, bitcoin is a cryptocurrency – in other words, a digital currency on the internet. Bitcoin is also a decentralised currency, which means that it isn’t bound to one country’s monetary system like the British pound, the American dollar or the euro. Nor does it belong to a specific company. It simply exists between users on the internet. In this way, it’s possible to handle transactions between a seller and a buyer directly without a bank, state or other third party being required. This leads to quick transactions with very low fees.
The blockchain is the system that ensures and authorises all transactions of bitcoins through what are known as cryptographic algorithms. Each exchange, purchase and transaction of bitcoins is registered by the blockchain in an open ledger – a kind of automatic and digital accounting system. Absolutely anyone can take part in the bitcoin network and have complete access to the entire blockchain and the ledger of all transactions – regardless of whether they are a buyer or seller.
Just like those of other currencies, the bitcoin exchange rate is controlled by supply and demand. The price that users are willing to buy and sell for determines the value.
Historically, bitcoin has had high volatility – the exchange rate has gone up and down significantly. Volatility is gradually reducing and stabilising as more and more users choose to be part of the bitcoin world’s ecosystem.
The number of bitcoin users is still relatively low compared with traditional stock markets, but it’s increasing every day. Exactly how many bitcoin owners and users there are is unknown, but the number is estimated to be 10-30 million users as of 2018.
There are currently around 17 million bitcoins in circulation – and there will never be more than 21 million.

When you go to the airport, you expect to check your bags, go through security, and wait around for a couple hours for your flight. If you’re flying out of Minneapolis St. Paul International Airport (MSP), though, you’re about to really start seeing some changes in the way travelers experience the airport.
The Arts and Culture program at MSP has been working hard since 2008 to improve the image of the airport and the way it is experienced. The program has some even more exciting plans for the near future—including visual art, cinema, and a continuing live music series.
The music series features over “two dozen musicians who play everything from balalaika to sitar to Celtic harp to smooth jazz,” said Robinson. A complete schedule of artists is available at the Airport Foundation’s website.
The Neighborhood Trio will be performing at the main mall in Terminal 1 (Lindbergh) from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. next Wednesday, August 26. “It just shows the strength of the program that’s already in existence, and to have someone of Steve’s caliber just makes it even more exciting,” said Robinson.
The Arts and Culture program also hosts a holiday music series that runs between Thanksgiving and Christmas, featuring notable artists that many people try to see around that time of the year. Robinson said the program has brought in the Minnesota Opera, as well as the Minnesota Dance Theater—who performed pieces from The Nutcracker in the past and will be back this upcoming season. An addition to the holiday series this year will be Joe Chvala’s Flying Foot Forum.
“We’re excited about the progress the program is making: bringing in bigger names, bigger acts, and a lot more diversity to the talent as people get to see when they’re flying through the airport,” said Robinson.
The airport’s Arts and Culture program goes well beyond music. Robinson said, “we’re the first U.S. airport to have a cinema,” which features all shorts and documentaries made by Minnesota filmmakers, curated by the Film Society of Minneapolis St. Paul. Robinson also said the Arts and Culture program has just partnered with Twin Cities Public Television, so the program is going to continue to grow.
Arts and Culture at MSP also includes a visual art program. “We’re doing a big call for artists right now because we’re remodeling all of the restrooms at the airport—all 300—and each one has art installations by tile artists throughout Minnesota,” said Robinson.
Robinson said artwork is also featured off the light rail as travelers come in and out of the airport, in the concourse glass cases, and the Concourse C gallery, which is currently displaying Magna Carta to Minnesota: the Rule of Law, sponsored by Thomson Reuters.
Robinson said, “We want them to understand that we want them to be involved in everything that’s going on, that they get to learn more about the state and the people of the state and what we offer and how we live and why it’s important to us to have arts and culture in the airport.
One of the greatest live music experiences I’ve ever had was walking into South Station in Boston and finding one of my favorite bands (NRBQ) playing there for no discernible reason. Of course, I’m not sure everyone else was quite as excited about it.The summer transfer window certainly looks as though it could be a busy one for Birmingham City.
Following a hugely disappointing 2021/22 campaign, the Blues will be looking to bounce back next season, and climb up the Championship table again.
For that to happen, it seems there will have to be some considerable changes made to their squad, with players already being linked with St Andrew’s, and some who are already there, attracting interest.
So with that in mind, we’ve taken a look at two incomings and one outgoing at Birmingham that we could see happen, sooner rather than later, as we get ready for the transfer window to open.
Sarkic is a familiar name to Birmingham fans, having made 23 appearances for the club during a loan spell from Wolves this season, that was ended by injury in January.
However, it seems a reunion between club and goalkeeper could be
