Me: Did anything surprise you about California? Like anything you didn't expect?

S: Black widows.

Me: That is a very random answer, but ok.

while driving:

S: It's telling me to take the 101 to the 170 to the 5 to the 118. God, I sound like a real Californian.

(proceeds to talk in a "californian" accent)

Stephen's co-worker came up to me and said:

co-worker: (laughs) Jenna just came up to me and was like, that's not fair, how come Stephen has a nickname for you and not me? And I was like, he doesn't?? And she was like, ya he calls you cutie!

Me: :::confused expression:::

co-worker: and then I had to explain that he doesn't call me cutie, he just calls me by my name, KATIE, but just can't pronounce it properly.

Me: oh well that is a relief.

While at a friends house:

Friend: So what is your favorite thing about America so far?

S: Ranch Dressing

After reading a blog post about diapers (Grace can make ANYTHING funny)

Me: Hey babe, what kind of diapers do you think we will use on our future babies?

S: The regular ones.

Stephen walks into a foul smelling room:

S: Ugh. Smells like a whore's handbag in here

Me: Uhm....

Me: I probably shouldn't have eaten that food last night. I feel a little sick.

S: Do you have the hoop soup?

Me: What?

S: The hoop soup. The ring sting. The runs.

M: WHAT. and NO. just no.
