Roarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

... says Kate (over and over and over and over) in her "outside voice". For some reason, Michael and I seem to bring out the "roar" in Kate. I'm not quite sure what the connection is, but Kate does. By the way, Kate must be the world's best roarer!

Kate (roaring): Roarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Me: What does a pirate say, Kate?

Kate: Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh, Matey!

Kate (roaring): Roarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Julie (with her usual enthusiasm): Kate - look what's out there on the water!

Kate: Ducks!

Richard (smiling): Those are geese, Kate.

Kate: Quack Quack

Richard (laughing like a happy dad): A duck says "quack quack". A goose says "honk honk".

Kate: Honk Honk

Kate (roaring): Roarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Always back to that ferocious roar. How funny!

Oh, where did all that happen? (minor details) Michael, Chelsea and I met Julie, Richard and Kate at Red Robin for dinner so that we could sit outside and enjoy the beautiful day.

Life is made of memories like this one.
