Phone-call Transcript

We have Google Voice set up, but without a local number to forward our calls to, it rings on our computers.  When we miss that computer call, people can leave a message, and Google Voice entertains us quite well with it’s attempt to transcribe the message. 

Check out this gem from my little brother (who by the way said nothing like what is written in the transcript):

“Hey Carl, it's the end of this grocery Susan's phone call, blades, anyway, it's a horrible comparison. Susan picnic. The Senior Vice natural til bingo using will bites into news hurdles, but healing bites. Anyways. I hitting the trouble summer, hopefully you're birds. Not us anyways, hope you're having fun and I guess I'll catch you later bye bye.”

After we’re done choking on our laughter and tears, we listened to the real message, but you’ll all just have to wonder… Ha-Ha!

Junior First® Lego® League

Recently, I visited with my Robotics-savvy Uncle LeRoy, who supported me in my desire to implement a new club at our school.  Even though the Junior First® Lego® League is not officially available in China, I can still register from our residence in Washington and share this amazing opportunity with my children and their friends.  Our first excursion was held Saturday in the cafeteria with my two darlings and 14 of their classmates.

Through the façade of playtime, we cunningly reinforce team-work and problem solving that would otherwise be resisted.
