We were talking about girls the other day and I told Ryan that I wasn't much of a girlie-girl growing up - I was more like a tom-boy. I asked about the girls in his class and he said most of them were tom-boys but some of them were "keen on" things like makeup and jewelry.
I laughed so hard when he said "keen on" that I choked on my dinner. I don't know what struck me so funny (and apparently it's not that funny judging from the crickets I heard when I re-told the story to Don), but it killed me so I wanted to write it down for my own sake!
I don't know where he got it - we are listening to the Henry Huggins books that were written in the 50s and 60s so maybe from there?
As Gaddy would have said, "That's rich!" (And I can actually hear Gaddy saying "keen on" also so maybe he was channeling him a bit!)

That cracks me up! Kim said that sounds like something I would say. That Ryan is something else!
ReplyDeletethat is hilarious!
ReplyDeletethat is a "Gaddyism" for sure! It makes me laugh that he would say "keen on" instead of "really likes" or something like that. Yes, that's rich...
