LOL ! he's now 21 and a huge fan of Monty Python. Maybe I'm not such a crap parent after all.

The Meaning of Life is already under the tree for SonofV. It's gonna be good.

Speaking as a protestant, I highly recommend the exposition on protestant sexual practices. It's often lost in the shuffle after the showstopping "Every Sperm."

Shopping with my Dad at the weekend at a second hand video/ DVD stall.

Dad - I want to see if they have Life of Brian
Me - Well they have Monty Python and the Holy Grail...
Dad - That's not Life of Brian
Me - No, it's the Holy Grail

We both looked at eachother blankly.

I meant if they had one they might have the other - and I wondered if he'd misheard me. My Dad probably just thought he was having a "Funny/ Embarrassing Things They Say" moment.

Several times while watching Thomas the Tank engine, inch has ordered me out of the room while a particular episode is playing. He gets very agitated and is emphatic about me going away. It is the episode with a big elephant being carted around. I am going to watch it later and see what it's about.

Very odd. All the others he doesn't mind me being around, and the one where Fergus has to go to the smelter, gets him scared and he insists that I stand by.

It's my own personal WTF?

Have you asked him? Maybe when he's not watching it, bring it up. Now I've got to know...

Yeah, we have them all and I watched it... I could not get a clue at all. I have a three year old also, so I thought I may gain some insight because I spend some time interpreting... but, alas, no.
Perhaps it's code for something.

A kid in my kindergarten class today was trying to draw a lady stick figure. He made it pretty tall and disfigured then turned to me and said "She's tall for a lady, that's because she's really a man!"

At Labrat's suggestion I waited for an opportune time and asked him. He said it was because they were having a party. (Fair enough, he has a reason.) "The party isn't for you," he continued. "The party is just for me."

So the movie and the party are just for him.

See... makes perfect sense.

What is f-d-up is that I've lived with one long enough that it does to me *hits head wth brick*.

we went to the mountains this weekend. we had the radio on with some old-fashioned country christmas music on, and while driving up the fog-covered mountainside, we could see only fog and a smidgen of road. after a few miles, my 6 yr old asked 'mom, are we in heaven?'

MiniQ also called my cell phone today and left this message:

"Mom, brother went somewhere 'ribout' (that's how he says 'without') asking.
OK.
Bye."

My daughter has taught him well.
