What is an OmaHeck...

It is likely you have never heard of an OmaHeck. We kind of made it up. Here's a little history:

When I moved to Utah in 1990, I was introduced to a brand new phrase: "Oh my heck!" I guess it means "wow", "no way", or "that's surprising." It serves as a multi-purpose expression and possibly a swear :-0 (as in "Oh my heck, you are a jerk!)

When the family left Utah and settled in Omaha, NE (2004), we became "OmaHecks."

Great Quotes!

Here are a couple choice samples from our house recently.

Tate was at school and had pushed the boundaries with his Special Ed. Teacher. The established response was that the Teacher would call Cyndie to discuss the situation.

Teacher: Hi, Cyndie. Teacher here. We've got a small problem at the ice cream social here at the school.
Cyndie: OK. What's going on?

Tate (in the background): Abort the call! Abort! Abort! Abort the call!

Teacher and Cyndie: (Trying not to laugh!)

Have you been to McDonald's recently? Hope not. But if you have, you'll identify with this next one.

With mounting pressure from government and other entities about the obesity level in the US, Happy Meals now come with obligatory apple slices and a severly reduced fry serving. Cyndie explained this to Dane when he earned a recent Happy Meal.

Despite the pre-emptive planning, Dane was not thrilled with the small box of fries. (Aside: I was going to keep the container and post a picture here, but the Dog got it and chewed it up before I could take the pic). Dane wailed "Why, why do they do this to me?"

Cyndie explained that it was due to government pressure and health requirements. Dane began shaking his fist in the air and cried, "Curse you Government!" No word on whether he's forming a militia.

Finally, here's a look into the power of media:

Tate informed us that our good friend Greg Hefley has assured him that while school wrestling is totally fake, the stuff on TV with masks and chairs, etc. is 100% totally the Real Deal.

OK, Tate, whatever you say.
