monday morning cuteness.

after a particularly rough end of last week, we thought we'd kick this one off as heartwarming-ly as we can. (the very least Bear and i can do while lounging about in bed whilst everyone else goes to work is provide a little good cheer, right? right.)

puppets AND hippos? swoon.

elder-love* gets us every time.




*and speaking of elder-love, a charming anecdote from a family dinner this past weekend:

mother was re-telling a conversation between herself and our father from earlier in the week. she had mentioned a friend of hers who was dating a widower, and my father interjected to say that if my mother passed away he couldn't go through the whole dating thing again.

how sweet, we all thought.

he then continued to say how he wouldn't date because it's just too much work to go through that all again in your 50's, and he'd try to find a new wife in an easier manner - for instance, asking a female postal worker to marry him when she brings him his mail.

when telling the story, however, mother used the phrase "mail lady" which our aunt took as "male lady" and a minute after the story was told sat there with a look of confusion upon her face as she asked our father why he'd replace our mother with a transsexual. hilarity ensued.
