Why?

Five beds

and we find this kid on a hard trunk.  Kids are so weird. 

Jack's words

Some of my favorite Jack words.

Her's and your's.... "Can I play with your's toy?" "Arden put her's shirt on."

Next-morrow, next-night.   "Do I have to go to school next-morrow?"

Last-morning, yester-night.   "I brushed my teeth last-morning and yester-night."

How do I become and aunt?

Arden really wants to be an aunt so she asked me how she could become one. 

Me, "Well, Halle or Jack would have to have a kid for you to become an aunt."

"If Halle has a baby then she would have to take care of three kids: Jack, me, and her kid."

"Well no, because you'll be grown up by then."

"Oh.  So then that means you'll be almost dying by then."

Makes me go Bleh.

Jack wanted a cup, so I got one for him out of the dishwasher.   I poured some chocolate milk into it.  He loves chocolate milk after all.  He came to me after a minute and said, "the chocolate milk in the brown cup makes me go "bleh."  I don't like it."

Me, "well maybe it's expired." I taste it and it tastes fine.  

He says, "I just want water."  

Me, "you don't like chocolate milk anymore?" 

Jack, "no, only on Fridays."

Well damn, today is Wednesday.  Next time I'll know better.

Nasty feet

We were all in Brian's truck on the way to church one morning, listening to a Christian station on the radio.  Suddenly we all started to smell something rank. 

Halle says from the back seat to Arden, "put your shoes back on, your feet stink!"

I say, "oh my gosh, Arden, those are some nasty feet!"

Arden, "well, Jesus had nasty feet, and we're on our way to church, so..... That's fine"

Me, "yeah you're right Jesus did have some nasty feet probably."

Arden, "and see, they're singing about Jesus' nasty feet on the radio."

Halle and I laughing, "no they're not!"

Arden, "Yes they are!  See they just said it again."

Brian chimes in, "yeah they ARE saying nasty feet. Jesus had dirty feet and that's what they're talking about. You know, his feet were dirty walking around back then."  

So I'm like, yeah maybe, I mean he did wash his disciples feet and Mary washed his feet with perfume.

But still I know they are NOT talking about nasty feet in a worship song!"

We argue back and forth, me and Halle against Brian and Arden.  

I look up the lyrics.  It's Matthew West's song called "Grace Wins."  Just so you know, it says "death's defeat" not "nasty feet."

We were all cracking up!  Now I can't unhear "nasty feet" every time I listen to it.
