Duke, Duke, his name is Duke

Last week we returned one Veggie Tales DVD to the library and picked up another. Actually, that's not true. We paid about $18 to the library to replace a Veggie tales DVD that Walker shattered when he tried to take it out of the case and picked up another. We replaced a DVD about a sumo wrestler and picked one up that the kids call Otis and Duke, which is sort of like the story about naomi and ruth, except set in the medieval times, involving the great pie wars, and played by vegetables, of course. I waited in the car with the kids while Carla did the library thing.
Kurt: Ellie, what was the DVD about?
Ellie: A Sumo Wesener
Kurt: A Wesener?
Ellie: No, a Wesener.
Kurt: Oh, a wrestler?
Ellie: Yeah, that's what calls it!

Carla returns to the car with Otis and Duke.

Kurt: How about we go visit Grandma Kandel's and watch otis and duke over there?
Walker: Is Grandma Kandel's short from the library?
Carla: Yeah, it's only a couple minutes.
Walker: That's good, because I just love Otis and Duke and when it's too long I just worry about it. What's "worry"?

We pull into Mom's house.

Walker, out of the blue: Does Grandma Kandel like fruit salad when she has a major back surgery?

Duke and the Great Pie wars... we know that one.
We should just loan you all of ours since "Strawberella" hasn't left the DVD player since we put it in.

Yes,Walker, Gma loves fruit salad when I have major back surgery but it's hard to clean spilled fruit salad off the floor so thank you and Ellie for helping the other day!

Walker (when I asked him to help wipe the floor so we wouldn't stick to it): "I like it when my socks stick to the floor!" Now, I KNOW that his socks have never stuck to the floor at his house but they may have once or twice at my house!
