Man-Beautiful

JMJ jr. has coined a new term - Man-beautiful.  Definition: wearing clothes that include buttons, zippers, or an outfit that includes "ties and fancy jackets."  Genius.

Booger pockets

Never knew these existed, but apparently Max has a booger pocket located on the side of his bed, and one night he warned mom that she almost put her foot "in his booger pocket."  That's gross man.  But funny nonetheless.

an oldie but a goodie

You know that song, "People Are Crazy," (God is Great, Beer is Good, and People are Crazy.)  We wer putting the boys to bed one night, and this song was on, and as it get's to the chorus, NCJ in perfect timing changes the lyric "people are crazy" with "mommy's been drinkin'".  She hadn't been, but damn this was funny!

pirates & church

Sorry I've been slacking, grad school takes priority.  but that's all done for now.  This happened a few weeks ago, but it is a great story.  This was a conversation on the way back from Easter mass:

NCJ:  I saw a guy today with an eye patch.  I wonder what happened?
me: Maybe he was hurt, or is blind in that eye. 
NCJ: yeah, or maybe he had a sight problem.
me:  Did he say arrrggghhh when you walked by?  Maybe he was a pirate.
NCJ: (without hesitating) No, he probably wasn't a pirate.  Pirates don't go to church.
me: (holding back laughter) why not?
NCJ:  I don't know, do they?  Maybe cause they're bad.

This continued on for the rest of the ride home, with an in depth discussion on why pirates should go to church.  I never knew I could have such a theological conversation about pirates.

BTW, this has been followed up with the song Talk Like a Pirate Day," which we get a good chuckle from.

Arrgghhh!!

JMJ jr. 3.24.10

Apparently he knows about a hole in the hospital that all the dead people go in, "just like Michael Jackson." I do not know this place, but can only assume he means a morgue.

NCJ - 3.23.10

While eating dinner (eggs and bacon) - "Why is bacon so sweet?" Because Nathaniel, it is the candy of meat.

JMJ jr. 3.10.2010

While looking at pictures posted on Facebook, there was one of one of my best friends dancing. He looked, well I don't want to offend anyone, let's just say, as JMJ put it, "fancy." You took the words right out of my mouth son.

NCJ - 3.8.2010

As he was watching the maintenance guy at his school cut down a broken gutter, it fell and hit the ground. He looks up at him and, with a shrug of the shoulders, says "man, that can't be good."

I also found out that he has told his teacher all about the Taj Mahal. She is now willing to just let him teach his kindergarten class.
