Heard and Observed #37

Sam has declared that she is no longer our "little" girl.  She is now our Medium girl.

I absolutely love the song by Train, "50 ways to say good-bye" and listen to it over and over again in the car.  It's all about a girl who dumps a guy.  He refuses to tell his friends that she left him and instead comes up with a lot of fun ways that she has died to explain her absence. For example, '...caught in a mudslide, eaten by a lion, ...fried getting sun tan, met a shark underwater, fell in a cement mixer full of quicksand..."

In the middle of the song, is this great verse:

"My pride still feels the sting
You were my everything
Someday I'll find a love likes yours
She'll think I'm Superman
Not Super Minivan
How could you leave on Yom Kippur?"

Whenever Sam hears this song playing, she'll ask me "Why did she leave him on Yom Kippur?"  It is very funny.

Sam helped out big-time cleaning out the shed and we told her she earned three dollars.  Jeff gave her dollar bills and Sam looked down and asked where the "3" was?  She wanted to make sure she got her $3 dollars.
