Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson used to leave me speechless - Now I've got more immediate concerns.

“Hydn, eat your food.”

“But, I'm not hungry!”

“Doesn't matter, it's meal time and we eat our food.”

“But Mom, Jesus didn't eat his food one time. Member in that movie he says, 'DON'T EAT THIS FOOD – it won't fill you up good.'  So, JESUS says we don't have to eat this food!”

Last week after church, Hy and I were standing in the crowded hall waiting.  He said, “Mom, I have to go to the bathroom”, and he left. A few minutes later he came back, saying loudly, “MOM! MOM! SEE THAT DAD RIGHT THERE?!” 
He was so loud and insistent, and pulling on my sleeve so hard, that it was hard for everybody not to turn and notice, “MOM, THAT DAD WENT TO THE BATHROOM, AND SHOOK HIS PEANUT, AND DIDN'T WASH HIS HANDS!!”
*Disclaimer - don't feel too sorry for the guy.... karma - it's a beautiful thing.

The girl that keeps me sane.

  Sister Watson got called into nursery Sunday.  When Bishop asked people for their sustaining vote, Maddie slowly kissed her three fingers and gave her the, "We love you, but you are going to die and we will never see you again!" Katniss salute, from The Hunger Games.  I did not think I would make it through Sacrament meeting.  The laughter just kept bubbling up.

Thirteen Big Ones! Happy Birthday Awesome Boy!

A few weeks back Pal cut various individual letters out of the newspaper to make a ransom note.  The final product said:
"THIS IS A RANSOM NOTE.  BRING ME A DOLLAR AND YOU WILL GET YOUR LION BACK!"  
 Later I picked him up from a friends house - and hidden under his coat was a stuffed lion.
"You used the note then?  It wasn't just for fun?  And he actually had a stuffed lion?"
"Yup!  It's his favorite.  The note is now resting on his pillow."
"Oh Pal, you're awesome, you know that?"
"Yup!  ...But you know the problem with being so awesome?"
"No, actually I don't.  What's that?"
"When you use up all the awesomeness, there's nobody left to do awesome things back to you.  ...*sigh....
And that kinda stinks."
