The quote of the night last night at quizzing:  “It’s because of the Crusades!”
Samwise, David, and Josh were lined up.   When one of them jumped…
#1:  “It’s because of the Crusades!”
#2:  *jumps up*  “The Crusades!”
#3:  *jumps up*  “The Crusades!”
#1:  *sits down*
#2:  *sits down*
#3:  *sits down*
#1:  “Oops.”
#2:  “Oops.”
#3:  “Oops.”
the rest of us:  *glare*

I, meanwhile, was not exactly intently quizzing.  I was helping Anna study for her test on the Korean War.  That worked alright.  Lizzie was answering questions, so I got to cheer for her.    And I did get plenty of my own, but, hey, you never know when it will come in useful to know more about the Korean War, right? 

And… let’s see.  I am nicely sore all over in the back, due to having been matched up with Andrew B in inner tube wars.  OW.  And as if he had not already murdered me about five times during the game, as we finished and I started to stand up, he walked into me and knocked me over.  I would have been annoyed, but he laughed and helped me up and so it was okay.

Youth council was… interesting.  First there were two of us.  Then three.  I think we finally got six of the eight people there. 
Mrs. F:  *comes past and sees us*  “What is this?  Youth group detention?  I wouldn’t expect to see you in detention!  What did you do?”
Samwise:  “You don’t want to know what all the kids in the gym did!  I’m keeping an eye on Mr. K.”
And a good thing, too, as Mr. K was engaged in smelling Edward’s shoes.    Greg also came by and started talking to Edward, and we had a discussion on what an accomplished pick-pocket Lizzie is when it comes to cellphones.  (She does return them, though.)  Note:  it is easier for her to do this if your phone has an antenna.

Of course, I had to explain to Sam L how much Miracle had made us cry.
“You,” he said sternly, “are a bad liar.”
I explained that this is because I so rarely lie.
He still held firm that I am a bad liar, so I burst into tears on him.  I don’t think that convinced him.    Especially since there were no tears in evidence… just… erm… laughter. 
Oh well.

It’s because of the Crusades!
(Although I don’t know why…)

Thanks, those are the best of around 175 banners. Those don’t even count the new ones that I made for Prince Caspian!
