pacifier noob

When my brother Jack came home from a mission to Guatemala, he had much better handwriting, a slight accent, and apparently diminished computer game skills.  He was playing a game that he had been good at before he served his mission and he wasn't doing well.  After a while, one of the players said to another, "boot this noob."  And just like that, he was booted out of the game.  LOL!

That has now become a catch phrase in our family.  Whenever someone is not very good at something or makes a stupid mistake they are referred to as a noob.

Well, I am a pacifier noob.  I was trying to clean up after my messy whirlwind of a daughter and picked up one of her rubber pacifiers.  For reasons unknown even to me, I put the pacifier up to my chin and stuck it to my face like a suction cup.  I walked around the house like that for a few minutes and then put the pacifier away.

Later when D came home, he asked me what happened to my chin.  I, of course, had no idea what he was talking about.  When we figured out what had happened, he laughed and yelled, "You have a chin hickey!"


Unfortunately, I don't think it will be going away soon.
