Ian: Can I order my own hot dog and pay for it?
Mom: You betcha.
Ian: How much will it cost?
Mom: $1.62. You have $2.
Ian (to employee): Hot dog.
Employee: Here's your change.
Ian: HEY!! You're supposed to give me 38 cents, but this is only 29!!
Employee: (makes no sound... just picks her jaw up off the ground)
Mom: Ian, this is 38 cents. I think you mistook this old dime for a penny.
Ian: Can I keep the change?
Employee: jaw still gaping

My friend Melissa (in Aus) used to say she wanted to eat him with a spoon. She'll have to get in line behind me, 'cause I'm so in love with this kid I can't stand it.

Farts are SOOOOOOOOO funny! I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes (from laughing, not that burning, stinging sensation).
LOL. Ian is such a character. reading that instantly put a huge smile on my face.
hope you guys aren't getting washed away with all this rain lately.
Your friend still wants to eat him with a spoon!
*My* son today said that he had seen Spider-man 1 and 2, but 3 (which was just released here) is too scary and he's not allowed to watch it. "You can only watch it when your 30 and are in a wheelchair or have a walking stick..." I *swear* I didn't tell him that. I haven't the heart to tell him I'm 32 1/2. He might think he needs to start looking at coffins :O
Stace,
He is so DARREN, like sooooooooooo DARREN, the human calculator. love him, and that look on his face is priceless.
