Sometimes people come up to me in the library saying random crazy stuff and I write it down. Here are some notes on a P-slip I just found:

"Tell John,

Tom, Shirley, Anthony

No longer write fake books

Wash your hands

It's gonna be out

That's it"

 TMW you are talking to an upset person in the middle of the night and they are "worried about their ranking with the lion," and you realize they are sleepwalking.

More kid grammar

A nice turn of phrase as my kid recounts her dream

"I just fainted 'cos I got undid of the hypnotism."

And no one will get to 50 unscathed

You (haughty whippersnappers in your 20s): You are old and lame. Watch our dust, old person.
Me (in my 30s): I didn't think I was that old...

You (now in late 30s or early 40s): Wait, we are old and dumpy. Our hairline receded a long time ago. Nobody thinks we are cool anymore. Our faces are puffy and we look like shit.  And you look exactly the same more or less.
Me (49): Hahahahahahahaha
