The Journals Of A Boy

I have misplaced my "written" journal. Now where could it be?
I'm keeping track really for myself, but if you're inclined to read, do it! These are the simple journal entries that I might forget if I don't write them about my boy.

Juvenile Jargon:

Ear Egg = formally known as an earache.
Gorilla Bar = formally known as granola bar.

Just this morning, my 4 year old wants to sleep instead of getting up for school. He's not even a teen yet. As mothers do, I took the covers off exposing his warm cuddly skin to the harsh a/c temperature of a basement. After failed attempt, I picked him up out of his bed in which he proceeded to smack me on the chest and telling me to put him back in his bed "NOW". Honestly, what child tells their mother "now"? At least I didn't have to resort to the cold bucket of water... After his futile resistance, he conceded and asked for some chocolate milk and watch one of his "shows". Our children don't have any concept of the television prior to the ability to record our favorite shows. If it would have worked in the early 80s, we wouldn't have been stuck watching the President ON EVERY CHANNEL.

There Will Never Be Another Neu.


Where do I start for a worthy tribute to my loyal friend of 13 years?

It's hard to hold back the tears even though I know it was time.
From the day Daddy birthed you and then you were mine.
Always there by my side until the soft sweet end,
If I could live by your example and be such a friend.

I love you.

The Mouths of Children

Just a couple of notations of the things my son says...

In trying to describe to him what cotton is, "Cotton is like what your pants are made of."

His reply, "Cotton is like 'caught on' fire."

(Try it, it does sound like cott on fire)

Then, later in the day...

I said, "Thank you for putting that back in the bathroom."

His reply, "Aw, it was nothing."

Where do they get this stuff?!?! It's great.
