In keeping with the “No, maybe that was more wrong than funny” theme… Here’s a little conversation one might have overheard at our dinner table not too long ago.
Boy kid (eldest): I don’t want to sit {here}. Why can’t I sit right {there}?
Me: BecaaaaaAAAAAaaause *special mom-inflection* if you sit {there} *rolls eyes* you and your sister will pick and pick and pick and pick and pick and pick and PICK.
Me (continuing): Besides. Not only does your picking drive ME crazy, but…
*wait for it…..*
*wait for it…..*
I can’t believe I pulled this “card”…
Me: …but it makes JESUS sad.
*cowers from certain lightening bolt strike*
Boy kid: MooooooOOOOoooooM! *special offspring-inflection* You know. We have feelings too.
Boy kid (continuing): You see, mom… feelings are like faith. You can’t see it, but you can FEEL it.
Boy kid (continueing): Or like the wind…. you know it’s there *insert hand movements for drama*… You can FEEL it, but you can’t see it. Eventhough we’re kids, we have FEELINGS too.
Me: Oooohohoho… You’re good, kid. *holds back high-five* I guess that’s fair. It wasn’t fair for me to pull the “Jesus card”. But you KNOW He doesn’t like it when you and your sister fight. Just sayin’...

In other news…
Apparently there is still time (once a day everyday) to vote for ME any blogger of your choosing *looks over should, blows kiss, winks*. I thought voting closed last week, but much to my surprise… it doesn’t close until July 6th! At this point in the game it is becoming clear that certain bloggers *ahem* will not be the big, fat winner. But who needs “big, fat” when “going out in style” is really all certain *ahem* bloggers want. Yes, “style” is subject to interpretation. In my humble opinion, I just think the best interpretive filter is big numbers. *cheesy grin, blinking wildly*

You’re a winner in my book.
Oh, I’m so scared for when my kid is going to start using these arguments against me! *knees knock*
Wha? It’s wrong to pull the Jesus card? I may have some esplainin’ to do . . .
What the fudge is that video!?! oooooh, fudge!!
I’ve pulled that card a time or two myself. I am sad and embarrassed to admit that it hasn’t worked much.
Hey, for some reason this post is showing up in my Google Reader with a bunch of X.anax randomness (put a period in so as not to attract Spam Bots). Don’t know if it’s anything you can prevent, but wanted to let you know.
Currently, nothing affects my children’s behavior more than the Jesus card. I recently threatened to move out into our guest cottage… didn’t phase them. At. All. But “how do you think Jesus feels right now about your behavior” causes them to cry and mend their wicked ways. Someone needs to pull a Jesus card on me, I think.
AAAANNNNDDD…………..the movie it is damn funny. SRSLY.
Yep. I’ve said it, too.
