Caroline’s Latest

Well, Grant’s taking a break apparently, and now it’s Miss C that seems to be supplyin’ the funnies. 

She has joined a troop this year at her new school and is selling Girl Scout cookies.  There is an option on the order form for someone to pay for a box that will be donated.  She asked questions about that.  I explained those boxes are paid for by one person and the cookies are sent to another person as like a present.  I said they might go to a military person that is overseas. 

OK.  That sufficed.  The day went along.

That evening told me she thought her Dad should get some of those boxes of cookies.

“Of course, we will order tons some, silly.  We always do.”

No, she clarified, her Dad should get some of those cookies that are donated…. 

because he is an engerine (pronounced like tangerine).

An engerine?

Took me a minute, but I realized she was combining Marine and engineer.  Yep, that’s her Daddy, the engerine.
