The tower of babel comes home to Ferndale

Grandpa: Habla espanol?

Eva: What?

Grandpa: Habla espanol?

Gabe: That's Japanese. I can tell
Hooker: A woman who grabs her children to keep them from running away

Amy (sleepily): The kids were up all night. I feel like a call girl.

Nate: A prostitute?!?!

Amy: What? NO!! A call girl - a girl who's always on call. Isn't that what that means?

A child-hood dream dashed, but at least we get a blog entry out of it.

Gabe: Y'know, dad, I caught you putting the quarter under my pillow last night and taking my tooth.

Dad: What? What are you talking about? What about the tooth fairy?

Gabe: I think it was the DAD fairy. Put that on your blog.
