LETS TALK ABOUT PEANUTS

When Seth was a little guy Jim thought it best to teach him the proper terminology for body parts. Lucky for us, Seth's little mind comprehended "Peanut" and I insisted that we stick with it! Well one day when Seth was just 2 1/2 or so he took off out the front door and got on his big wheel and headed out with a purpose...."Where are you going Seth?" "I'm goin' to the peanut store to get Hannah a peanut because she doesn't have one!!"
X-RATED:
Last week on our trip to San Diego an asian flight attendant was announcing over the intercom that they would be coming by with drinks. He then said "If you would like something with your drink, like a cookie, pretzel or PEANUS then we will give it to you. So, if you want some "PEANUS, just let us know and we will give you some "PEANUS". By this time there was lots of tittering and hands covering mouths in an effort to remain serious. He said it over and over!!! Incidentally, I thought someone said that they could no longer serve peanuts on the airlines because of allergies. I did not want to take any chances on what I was getting so I stuck with the cookie....

One more for Jim

Mom, maybe Dad could just borrow a gun from an army guy and go and shoot an elk so we could have it hanging in our family room. (sure Seth, no problem).

I wish Dad.....

Here's another poor Jim post. Mom, maybe when Dad grows up again he can be a race car driver! Incidentally, we did take Seth and Hannah to see Jim's work for the first time. I was hoping this would help....however, it is just a big building and you can't go in for security...so they looked at the big building then resumed their movie....

Learning Violence in Preschool

Seth and Hannah just graduated from preschool this week. Mom and I had a treat as we laughed hysterically as Hannah tried to keep her graduation cap, hair, and bow all together while singing songs in a program.....I sure wish I had it on digital video so you could all see it. It was so funny. Anyway, they were talking about funny things the kids had said in preschool and I remembered one that Hannah had said a while back. I came to pick her up and she said so excited.... "Mom!, Mom! We did parent shooting today we learned parent shooting!!!" The preschool teacher had a horrifed look on her face as she stared at me and Hannah. It took me only moments of realization before it dawned on me...."Did you by chance play with a parachute today?" "Oh yes", the preschool teacher sighs with relief. I thought it was hilarious. The teacher did not. I reminded her about it after the program and joked about why they didn't share that one in the program...She says with a nervous laugh...well, there are some things we just can't...."oh brother....lighten up teacher!

Seth talking to Hannah,,,

But Hannah, Jesus wanted me to have a big head so that is why my head is so big.

Morning Musing with Seth

(Immediately upon waking up)...Seth: "I sure wish Zach wasn't a cannibal." Me: "But he's not. Do you even know what a cannibal is?" Seth: "Yes, it's a person who eats little kids." Me: "What makes you think Zach is a cannibal?" Seth: "He told me." Me: "Well then....what about Grandpa Moore....doesn't that make him a cannibal?". Seth: (says nothing at all. Just a very thoughtful, kind of freaked out look as he contemplates this.) Conversation over.
