We were playing games with some friends today when Carl said, out of the blue, "I love music mommy," in a monotone voice. One of our friends laughed because she knew where the line came from--the Music Man.
It made me think of other the lines we often quote. This is only a small portion of regularly quoted lines.
"Beeg Kees, Leetle Hug" -Nacho Libre
"Now George!" -Music Man
"Crimenitly Trigger, put that pee shooter down." -Robin Hood
"It was a false lie." -The King and I
"Where's my beddy bye basket?" -The Aristocats
"death comes unexpectedly" -Pollyana
"you put one foot in front of the other..." -Santa Clause is Coming to Town
"Hurry along ladies!" -Music Man (watched that a lot growing up)
So it was funny a few weeks ago when I walked into the kitchen wearing a new shirt and Jordan said, "I like your sleeves." I told him thanks and continued doing what I was doing. He said, "No mom, your suppose to say, 'I made them myself.'" That's a line from Napoleon Dynamite. Its nice to know he's following the movie line tradition.

Jordan
Model #1 is in his 12th year. This model works very efficiently and rarely makes exuses about why he can't get the job done. He does however, when questioned, often say he never heard anyone talking to him. Hmmm.
Fuel Source--lasagna, playing football, riding scooter.
Katie
Model #2 at ten years old, is quite the creation. Her emotional database has exceeded the producers plans. We see more excitement, sadness and love from her than from all other models combined. Very friendly, she is easily able to make friends and has quickly adapted to this new culture. Another oddity of this model is the question she frequently asks, "can I go to bed now."
Fuel Source: being with at least one other person AT ALL TIMES
Alex
Model #3 is 8 years old. His highly programmed math and reading data bases continually puzzle his producers. Besides fighting, he also enjoys riding his scooter and giggling.
Fuel Source: projects of any kind, lullabies, answering multiplication questions.

Welcome
This blog is called JUNE CLEAVER only because I had intended to devote all my thoughts to home efficiency. Clearly, home efficiency is less often on the forefront of my mind than other topics. Perhaps 2009 will bring about more home efficient thoughts.
President and CFO
Carl, also known as Carlito, Carlos and Carly, is the president of Cleaver Productions. A very talented man, he spends his spare time acting as General to our cleaning troop, thinking up whopper at-home vacations and playing any game set before him with a promise to ignore everything else going on in the plant. He has skills in barbecuing and other culinary arts and has added to his impressive resume an invitation to golf with an 80-year-old professional lady golfer.

Model #4
Grant
This is by far our busiest model. As indicated in his first year of life producers thought they had programmed this model to relax, be pleasant and quietly observe life. Not so, the only thing he seems to be programmed with is GO. Though not programmed with this ability, his loving associate models have taught him the art of fighting. He seems to have exceeded their expectations.
