Almighty Belching

Andrew let out a huge burp one afternoon, and of course had to tell Pop-pop all about it at dinner time.

"I did a burp like yours, but it was really different. It was just REALLY loud, like one of Jesus' burps!"


Apparently we need to work a little more on those Catechism lessons...or further clarify what we mean by 'Jesus can do anything'.

Dinner Tonight

According to Andrew, tonight we had stir fry chicken with 'cous-lous'

Peter called it "goose loose."

"Seussian" insult?

Dr. Seuss is known for making up words - Lorax, Sneeds, Wockets..
The boys have taken a page from his book and made up the word "Bockern Talk-ern".

Apparently, this is a REALLY bad thing and the worst insult ever - sort of like Shakespeare biting his thumb at another person.

We've had to outlaw the use of "bockern talkern" to avoid heated arguments.

I guess I should be happy they're not calling each other 'stupid'?

Peter and the scented spray

Peter - pointing at the counter (where there was most definitely NO blender present) - "There's 'blender'"

Jim and I quizzically looked at each other.

Again: "See...there's blender."

Amy: "Oh...you mean lavender!"

Peter: "Yeah, there's blender! It smell way good on my pillow!"

Andrew and the caterpillar

Andrew was intently watching a caterpillar crawling around on the back porch.



"Hey Pop-pop, is the caterpillar eating the cement?"

Jim: "No, I don't think caterpillars eat cement."

Andrew: "Caterpillar! No! You can't eat the cement!"
