I LOVE my Dog... I think


First you need to understand that the 2-year old loves the puppy. He grabs him in the middle and tackles him to the ground. The pup has to lick the 2-year old to death to finally get him to release his iron-clad hug on the dog's middle-who must be nearly suffocated before this point of release.

So I'm enjoying a quick breakfast before I dress for work. My 2 year old grandson comes toddling into the kitchen and using his 2 year old language skills points to the front room and emphatically says, "Poop."

I'm thinking I'm not hearing him right, he normally says, "Aieron poop". So I ask him if he is. "No. Poop."

Did you go poop in the front room. "No. Poop."

Is there poop in the front room.

"Uh huuuhh!"

So I finally get up and give him my hand and ask, "Did the puppy go poopy in the front room?"

"Uh huuuhh!" escapes his mouth as he hauls me to the front room.

Sure enough. The puppy went poopy on my carpet. I captured the cowering mutt, rub his nose in it, swat his back end and toss him out the back door with a loud, "NO!"

Then the said 2-year old follows me around still telling me there's puppy poop in the front room as I gather rags, rug cleaner, paper towel and newspaper to clean the mess up. It's almost comical-he's so upset about it and is causing me to trip over him while I try to get the stuff to clean it up.

Yip-ya gotta love the puppy. He comes back in to the house later and acts as though he was innocent and it was all the 2-year old who did anything wrong.

Silly puppy.

FAVORITE CHILDHOOD SONGS

My favorite childhood songs were the ones my mama taught me. 1) One day as I was seated on the subway, my high silk hat, my high silk hat; I laid it on the seat beside me, my high silk hat, my high silk hat; A big (sung in deep voice) fat lady came and sat upon it, my high silk hat, my high silk hat (sung in high pitch tiny voice); A big (sung in deep voice) fat lady came and sat upon it, my high silk hat, my high silk hat (sung in high pitch tiny voice); Christopher Columbus now what do you think of that? A big fat lady sat upon my hat! She broke my hat, now what’s the joke? She broke my hat, now what’s the joke? Christopher Columbus now what do you think of that? 2) The golden sun sinks in the west, Great Spirit calls all scouts to rest. We’ve had our work, We’ve had our play And we have lived, The true scout way. Upon my honor, I will try, To do my duty, To God on high, To help all other people out, And live the life of a real Girl Scout. 3) I had a little parasol long, long ago. A ...

The Measure of a Man

I loved this song. It was sung by Brett Raymond and it gave me a tremendous sense of where young men need to center themselves. The whole tape (yes, I have a cassette) is great, but this song speaks volumes. I played it often when my boys were teens-as much for me as for them. My youngest son even sang it at a program once-ah heaven-maybe some of it was getting where I really wanted it to go! The Measure of a Man comes from the album of the same name. It is by Clive Romney and friends. I have the hologram sticker that came with it. On the back of the jacket to the cassette case it says: "Though beautiful in any light, this holographic cover is most beautiful when viewed by the light of the sun. Life, likewise, is most beautiful when viewed by the light of the Son. Try it!" Is it the width of your shoulders how tall you stand Or how far you tip the scale The size of your biceps the strength of your hands Your prowess in games of skill Is it the style of your hair, the way that...

Riddley, Riddley Ree

Riddley, Riddley Ree, I see something you don't see. And the color(s) of it is(are): (list goes here). My mom used to spend hours (it seemed like to me) with us kids playing this game. She'd pick an ornament on the tree and start the game. Sometimes the other kids would play for a while. I would keep playing and playing. I loved the game. When I became a mom I would play this same game with my kids. I found it fun to continue the tradition and I found it useful to keep the kids entertained. Of course with my kids we had to come up with rules. They pushed all kinds of boundaries. So there were rules like the lights don't count, the stand doesn't count, only the ornaments count, you can't switch which ornament you were thinking of just because someone guessed yours on the first try. The only rule my mom ever had to use with us was if no one guessed it after a reasonable time, then you got to pick another ornament and do it again. Mom seemed to have infinite patience w...
