Sloan: Albus Severus Potter. You are named after two head masters of hogwarts. One of them was a sytherin, and he was the bravest man I ever met.

Cairo: That's my favourite part! You know what? All Harry Potter aside, I think Albus is a cool name. Don't you?

Charter: Yeah! You should name your kid that! And then when he learns to talk, you can teach him to say, "Thank you, thank you very much."

Cairo: What?

Sloan: I think she said 'Albus'... Not 'Elvis'...

Charter: ....

Charter: Sloan, what were you and Cai just talking about?

Sloan: Well, I guess you should listen better!

Charter: What's 'shrimp and vader'?

Sloan: Charter, come on.

Charter: No! Seriously! Mom! What's 'shrimp and vader'?

Mom: She said, "You should listen better."

Charter: What's 'shrimpabetter'?

And he wasn't kidding.

mom: What is gluet2 ?

Me: Umm, what?

Mom: Exactly. Its on the shopping list, but I have no idea what it is!

Peyton: That's Mollen's handwriting... I did tell her to put glue on the list... Wow, she can't spell...

Mom: Yeah, coming from someone who's spelling skills are awesome! (Sarcasm!)

Sloan: Yeah! FYI: WANT is spelled W-A-N-T. WON'T is spelled W-O-T- apostrophe - T. Wait. What?

Charter: Me and my friend have a secret club. You guys will have no idea what it is... Its the A.Q.W.C.

Peyton: Hmm... I bet its the adventure quest world...

Mollen: CLUB!

Charter: Well, ok... I guess we can change the name... But you guys will NEVER guess our secret knock!

Peyton taps on the table: knock knock knockknockknock  knockknock knock!

Charter: Hey, mom? Can I go over to my friends house? We need to work on a new club name. And knock.

Mom: Gage, you need to be a good boy otherwise I'll have to send you to your room all by yourself!

Charter: Yeah... AND YOU'LL HEAR NOISES!

Mom: Who ever has chocolate chip on their boob is in charge!

*Glances down at her shirt*

I guess that means I am in charge.

Hmm. Thoughts on Kony.

I'm finding all this discussion about Kony really interesting... (Who needs social studies? I swear I'm learning more this week than I did all last semester in social10. haha)
I'm still developing my opinion on Kony2012... I shared the video that was FOR Kony2012 on Facebook, and now I'm sharing this video AGAINST Kony2012...
Like this video says, the Kony2012 video does simplify the whole story. I'd encourage you to watch it, but read into it a bit more. Develop your own opinion before jumping on the bandwagon :)

(One mistake I noticed in this video though, was that she said something about the information in the kony video being old - that the situation is improving in Uganda so now its more about re-building what was lost in war. The Kony video DID say that Kony was moving out from Uganda. The problem is: Kony is still out there, just somewhere else... The focus of Kony2012 wasn't on Uganda, it was on Kony and stopping him where ever he may be...)

I know Kony is bad. Bad, bad, bad. I agree he needs to be stopped. I know he's hurt thousands and thousands of children beyond belief. I think that we need to stick up for those people.

But - is sending an army into the country and treating violence with violence the best route? My friend said, "If we send the military in, aren't we killing the people we're trying to save?" Because Kony's army is Kony's victims. Kony's army is child soldiers who were kidnapped out of their own beds!(That's one thought... another is, "I can't think of a better way, so who am I to say they're wrong?")
I agree with her statement about the Kony video making out that the US is the only solution... I thought that too, and I think that other countries (Like Uganda) need to step up to protect their people with out international assistance.

Another thing I noticed in the Kony2012 video, was that it sounded like, "Now you know what Kony does. now you know he's bad. Here's how we're going to stop him."

Now, the reason I don't like that statement, is because once anyone hears about Kony, they know he's bad and want to stop him and protect those children. So then, since they are against Kony, they imediately think they are with the Kony2012 organization. They don't think twice on it.

Anyway... Like I said, I'm not sure what my opinion is yet. I'm open to hearing others while I wrestle though my own thoughts!
