The Newest Howlerism:

"Cool as papercuts"

Now, before you just roll your eyes, we are fully aware (at least two of us) that papercuts are totally "uncool." But, the fact that the Howler has decided to help fill in the blanks and odd pauses in our conversations, "cool as papercuts" has now become the phrase of the hour.

We were getting home from giving blood (Daisy Scouts are expected to coerce their parents--or their parents friends--into giving blood. Even if they're terrified of needles and do not do well under stress), and while my Sweetie was turning the car around to park, the Howler commented on the Toad's parking abilities (they're non-existant, btw)

My Sweetie said, "Well, it's because he's cool as..." and while he spent 3 seconds searching for a suitable (and age-appropriate) comparison, she pipes up in 2 seconds with "papercuts?"

So, now, we, the Mumples, will be "cool as papercuts."
