Mush?

My little brother Riley, my friend Jeff, and I are having a discussion of the things my brother can and cannot cook.  Jeff is asking the questions because I already know what Riley can't cook, which is basically everything.
Rice?  I can, but I don't like it.  Frozen pizza?  Yeah.  Pasta? No.  Oatmeal?  Mush?  (I don't know where that came from, I didn't know mush was considered a food.)  Me: Mush yes, oatmeal, I don't know.  Jeff: What?  How?  They're basically the same thing!

No they are not.  This is the story of when Riley made "mush" for dinner.  My mom had started working full time, and I was a senior in high school, so she decided that we all needed to learn how to cook, so we each had a night that we were in charge of making dinner.  It was Riley's night, Monday I believe, and he was going to make spaghetti.  He cooked some angel hair, but it wasn't enough so he added some spaghetti to the already cooked angel hair.  Needless to say, it didn't turn out very well.  We ended up with a ball of paste.  No one was brave enough to taste it, not even the dog.  We were on our own for dinner that night.

A Cell is Like a City

Cell Biology

Student:  Are you speaking today, and what is your talk about?
Dr. Bearss: Yes.  It's about how we take discoveries in the lab, and apply them for clinical use.  If you want to hear that lecture, I can give that instead.  It's a lot more interesting than actin.

Later:  

Yep.  This is cell biology not civil engineering.  No one wants to learn about roads.  ;)

I literally laughed out loud when I saw this.

Extraterrestrials, Easter, and the Devil

In Biochem

Dr. Graves:  If we replace [ES] with [E_t], not to be confused with the movie, we get this very messy looking equation.

In Sensation and Perception

Dr. Kirwan: Doesn't anyone want to know how I know Monday is the 11th?

Student #1: The test.

Student #2:  It's your birthday.

Dr Kirwan:  No, my birthday is in October.  It would be cool to have a March Birthday, though.  Then you would have something to look forward to in March besides St. Patrick's Day.  

Student #3: Easter is in March this year

Student #1:  How do they decide when Easter is?

Dr Kirwan:  The moon.

Student #4:  So there's no Easter committee?

Student #3:  No rabbits get together to decide?

Student #5:  Anyway...

Dr Kirwan:  What did we talk about last time?  Oh yeah, attention.

Next Class, Same Teacher

Dr. Kirwan:  What did we talk about last time?

Student:  Memory deficits

Pant-socks and Missions

Today I babysat my cousins, Levi and Ava.  Ava recently turned three, and wanted to wear a dress.  It was not snowing, but there was still snow on the ground from the last storm and it was cold outside, so I put some tights on her so she wouldn't get too cold.  She seemed a little confused as to what they were, so I told her, "These are tights.  They're kind of like pants and socks put together."  She said, "Oh.  They feel like socks."  For the rest of the day, she called them her "pant-socks".  

Later, I was looking at the globe in the living room, when Levi (who is 7) asked, "Have you been on a mission?"  I said, "No, not yet.  Have you?"  I fully expected a reply of no (since he hasn't), but what I got was, "Yep."  I said, "Oh?  Where did you go?"  He replied, "I went to that one place that starts with a ch-."  He muttered to himself for a little while trying to remember what the name of his ch- place was.  Eventually he yelled, "Chicago!"  Ha ha.  These kids crack me up.  :)
