Cael was mentioning the other day that Jesus (remember him<\/a>?) did something or other, and he called him Jesus Priced.\u00c2\u00a0 Nikki and I had a good laugh about that one.\u00c2\u00a0 We have at various times over the years purposefully not corrected the various mistakes the kids made with words because it was either too cute, or the potential for comedy was too great.\u00c2\u00a0 For years Cael wanted a certain “banklet” on his bed because it was soft and fuzzy, and Nikki and I would privately snicker to each other.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s a form of child abuse, basically.\u00c2\u00a0 Ok, not really, but still it’s slightly dishonest.<\/p>\n

Similarly, Quinn was patiently explaining something to Cael after listening to Nikki and I talk, and he said that we would all eventually get a needle so that we wouldn’t get the spine flu.\u00c2\u00a0 Don’t tell the media, because that sounds like a scary-assed flu to me, imagine the frenzy they would whip up with a name like that.\u00c2\u00a0 Swine flu (but pigs can’t fly?) has nothing on that one.<\/p>\n

Jordy used to have a couple of good ones that we never corrected, she just figured it out on her own.\u00c2\u00a0 A callipater was fun to let crawl on your arm.\u00c2\u00a0 If you couldn’t read the fine print you got out your findafying glass, and then when you were hungry you ordered a hangaburger.<\/p>\n

Finally, as we seem to have been hanging around hockey rinks way more often that before, Cael has discovered the simple joys of watching the ice get surfaced after a hockey practice.\u00c2\u00a0 Yep, the plamboni comes out and does a great job of making the rink smooth.<\/p>\n

If you don’t mess up your children, someone else will just come along and do it for you, and they will probably do it wrong.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s best these things happen early and often…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
