Yes, yes they are. Actually, it was probably my oldest boys idea. I'm sure Mav just went along for the ride. lol Dad thought it was pretty funny.

Isn't the correct term for a MiniTrea Bonsai?

-chuckles- maybe if I were pruning her on a regular basis, or had her in a mini planter on my desk... she doesn't take too kindly to that though.

As best as I could piece together: when my dad was on Saipan in WWII he was concussed by a shell and his mates though he'd been killed and left him on the beach. Everyone was evacutaing and getting back on the boats and one of my dad's pals decided to go back and drag his body onto the boat.

My dad eventually reagined consciousness and was *not dead yet*.

I recently got an email from the widow of the man who rescued my dad, She had been very close with him and my aunts and uncles after the war and is still close with my surving aunts and uncle. She emailed me a pic of my dad at about 17 or 18 years old. He's the one with the goofy hat.

I showed the inch his picture and "This is a picture of my dad when he was so and so's age."

The inch looked at the picture and said: "You know what you can do? You should build your dad up in your mind so you can pretend he is still here."

Dammit. My carefree days are over. Minifob's language skills have passed the line into being able to repeat anything he hears. And I screwed up.

I'm a big fan of the group Asylum Street Spankers, and they are in heavy rotation on my iPod shuffle. This song came up the other day, and I let it play (skip ahead to 1:30 in, language NSFW):



Catchy, right? Yeah, minifob thought so too. He's been singing "Beer beer beer beer I love beer" for over a week now. Especially in public. And just in time to be around the relatives for the holidays. Greeeeat.

When I was little, I used to watch movies that were not acceptable for children, one of my all time favorites was "Rocky Horror Picture Show" and I used to sing "Touch Me" all the time. My parents didn't really have a problem with it...but after years of watching/loving the movie, I suddenly wasn't allowed to watch it anymore because my stepdad was embarassed by me singing such an adult song in public.

And Princess likes "I Can Make You a Man." She's five.

Clod, having listened to the song, you should be grateful he's only singing the beer part!
(not a comment on your parenting, the song made me laugh, but "makes me want to fuck Madonna" really made me laugh )

Just get another catchy song in his head - I know from the kids on the bus that they'll sing damn-most anything. I remember my niece one year singing the hook to rather an explicit rap song. My BIL shrugged and said at least it as the only part she understood.

Foot I missed your post originally. Wow - that's some good advice. And a lovely picture to have.

Ah, see but the album version says "do Madonna." Which makes it all okay, right?

I think I put a version of "Darktown Strutter's Ball" on my cmep collection. The asylum street spankers do a version of it, but not as good as the vintage classic by the clovers. anyway, you may remember the title was corrupted to "The rotten cocksuckers ball" The lyrics would make Lenny Bruce blush. I'll dig around and see if I have the spanker's version and I'll put it up on cmep3 if I do.
