Ellie Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 A conversation between my 4 year old son and I yesterday: "Mama, are you sad?" "No." "Okay. You're fat." "Well now I'm sad." "Then I guess you're fat and sad." 5000 points for funny story. Minus 37 points for using the wrong pronoun (it should be "between my 4yo ds and me," not "between my 4yo ds and I"). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellie Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I = is a subject pronoun. Me = is an object pronoun You use "I" when it's the subject of a sentence: "My 4yo and I stayed up late playing Yahtzee." "I stayed up late playing Yahtzee." You use "me" when it's the object of a preposition or a direct object. " In your sentence (which wasn't a complete sentence, but that's ok), "A conversation between my 4 year old son and I yesterday," "between" is a preposition, and so it is followed by objective pronouns, as in "my 4yo and me." Sometimes the compound throws us off; if you say it with only the pronoun, you'll see/hear the difference: "A conversation between me" vs "a conversation between I." Direct object: "My bff invited (transitive verb, requires a direct object) my dh and I to the wedding." :ack2: Would you say, "My bff invited *I* to the wedding"? No. "My bff invited *me* to the wedding." And so, "My bff invited my dh and me to the wedding." See? You're welcome. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I have something off color to share. But it is just biology so what the heck ever. Last night, little dd got her hamster out of the cage to play with and remarked on the HUGE lumps on his "bottom". Back story: We have never had a male hamster*. I was convinced that the poor thing had testicular cancer or a case of terrible tumors or something so I googled, yes, wait for it..."hamster testicles". So it turns out that this is NORMAL in the spring. Who knew? I am so relieved. I shared this information with my sons and dh, and they were all reaching for the brain bleach because, well, you just cannot unhear some things. It is quite impressive. *We have managed somehow to have 4 female hamsters and a female mouse. I actually had to do the same thing. It was/is our first hamster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raining Pineapples Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 FAT AND SAD. Your son is awesome. BTW, I have a John, too. You do mean a family member named John, right? Given some of the earlier convos, I think this should be clarified... Ah, late to the party as usual. At least I'm not the only one who was wondering. I'm in good company. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornblower Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 .."hamster testicles". It is quite impressive. yup. I've had boy Syrians and they're well endowed in the scrotal department. My male rats are too. In fact, as they age, it seems that the sack they drag around gets bigger... There's no doubt the testes are bigger than their brain. Nature was all "let's see... what's important here? oh yes, these are important. How important? Very important! Lots of resources spent here! Now the brain. Yeah. Ok, good enough...." 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJosMom Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 This thread once more has gone to the dogs. It's all Girls Gone Wild and well-endowed hamsters. Sigh. I try so hard to keep us on the straight and narrow, but I cannot get any support. <sob> You're the ones who were talking about "johns." You know, some of us had PAYING careers a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. And sent people to the pokey for that sort of thing. :toetap05: (Nobody better ask me for DH's first name :auto: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lots of little ducklings Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I LOVE the tiny hamsters and tiny burritos and tiny cakes and such so much. SERIOUS WARNING (the warning of something serious to come...): Two friends passed away this past week. It was a heavy, heavy week. One of them was always posting these tiny hamster videos so I will always think of her when I see them. :grouphug: Oh, I'm so very sorry to hear that, texasmama. Lots of hugs and prayers coming your way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornblower Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 And kegels can be quite humorous. I find that to be humorous I HAVE to do kegels. No kegels, no humor. This is my theory now about the sourpuss old biddies who never crack a smile, never mind giggle or laugh. They've not been doing kegels and they can't be even remotely amused for fear of leakage... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
