Dishwasher Duty

is what J has every week day. He’s gotten to be quite good at it, too.

This morning he took the opportunity to unload it before I told him to do it. The dishes were unwashed but in J’s world this is only a minor detail.

That’s the way things go ’round these parts.

Sigh.

I hope y’all had a good Wednesday.

Universal Cure

is what he thinks it is.

We were on the way home from school when he said….

J: Mom, my sore throat got worse at school today.
Me: Oh, J, I’m sorry to hear that.
J: A simple coke would fix it right up.

A simple coke — sounds like a plan to me.

The Love Language

is a great band.

They recently did a live session at HearYa that was great.

You should check it out. Those folks at HearYa really know how to record a band right — and they have all the mp3s to share, too.

Good listening for your Tuesday!

Hmmmmmm

Here we have the latest bit of art that’s come home lately. My 3rd son made it at school. He brought it home last week.

Me: Oh, C, well that’s an interesting coil pot.
C: Yes, all the other kids in my class made heads.
Me: But, you didn’t want to make a head pot?
C: No, I made one with a uvula.

See?

I should always prepared to be surprised by this boy’s point of view. I remember going into his kindergarten classroom one October day. There were some lovely large posters on one wall. On them, the children had drawn their own tree trunk and had then adorned the tree with brightly colored leaves that they had cut out. There were pretty trees – about 20 of them. Then, on one of the pieces of construction paper there was a ferocious-looking alligator made entirely of bright fall leaves. I know that you’ve already guessed who made the alligator.

The beat of your own drummer? It’s real, I tell you.

Happy Monday y’all!
