So, the four-year-old sits down beside his daddy at our end-of-school picnic today, begins eating his PBJ, and says “Hey Lukey, are you so excited about David Cook?”….to which, I’m told, all the moms at said table erupted in laughter and replied, “Yes, Nolan, we are!”
Do you think we might have had a SHADE TOO MUCH IDOL FEVER at our house? It’s possible.
“If you could get them all doing the same thing, it’d be fine. But they are all running around in three different directions. It’s like herding cats!!!” –my husband when trying to manage our daily After School Mobocracy by himself
“MOM! We learned the Dewey ‘Dessymo’ System today in ‘liberry’…Do you know what that is?” Loren, 7
“Mom, what were those porky-pine books called?” (me, quizical look) “You know, the porky-pine books. YOU recommended them to me!” Loren, 7 at the ’li-berry’ (still don’t know what she’s talking about)
“Online is my favorite place to be.”–a radio DJ. Hmmm? Is a virtual place really a place? Are you somewhere when you are online?
“But it’s NOT morning yet!”–Nolan, 4, two mornings after the time change
“Are you tired today?” (to one of my students, age 3) response, “Yes, and I’m ear-tated!”
“Whoa! I wish YOU had long hair like that.” — Nolan, 4, to me, while watching Barbie as Rapunzel with his sisters…good grief!…no pressure!
“No mere disaster…it was the Hindenburg crashing on top of the Titanic inside Eliot Sptizer’s bedroom.”—Charlie Toft, USA Today–O.K. it was really more ‘read’ than ‘overheard,’ and it was a mean-spirited dig at an AI performance…but really…one of the funniest descriptions I have EVER read!
“But it’s NOT nightime!”–Nolan, 4, looking at the sun outside his bedroom window at 7:45 p.m.
“Daddy, I know the difference between a puppet and a mascot. A puppet is a hand. A mascot is…a whole guy.” Nolan, 4
“Woman,” Jesus said to her, “why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?” Supposing He was the gardener, she replied, “Sir if you’ve removed Him, tell me where you’ve put Him, and I will take Him away.” Jesus said, “Mary.” Turning around, she said to Him in Hebrew, “Rabbouni!”–which means “Teacher.” John 20:15-16
“Jesus came to Mary when she cried; He’ll come to us when we weep. Our tears may blur His face, but He has come….Could we take a moment to do the same for someone else?”
“You will never lock eyes with anyone God does not care for, the Son did not die for, the Spirit did not come for. Every time you walk into a room, it is a Trinity event.”

When my husband said I could use some of our tax rebate for shoes…I don’t think the “Ortho-wedge” was what either one of us had in mind…fashion-forward as it may be.
There is some good news. They did not find appearance of bone infection… apparently bone infection is a very bad thing. Somehow I just managed to crunch off some bone fragments into my joint fluid capsule.
Tim says I walk like a pirate.
