Welcome to the family, Jackson

Jeremy: I have a new imaginary friend. His name is Jackson. He wants to live with us.
Us: Why does Jackson want to live with us?
Jeremy: He's a wild boy. He didn't want to live with his parents because they make yucky food.
Us: Oh, well I think we have enough room in the house for him. But what about Jack? Won't you get Jack and Jackson confused?
Jeremy: No.
-----
Later...
Us: Jeremy, tell Grandma and Grandpa why Jackson is living with us.
Jeremy: His parents died.
Us: Oh, I thought they made yucky food.
Jeremy: Yes, and then they died.

Please pass the Mapkin...

Jeremy: "Dad, would you please pass the mapkin."
Rachel: "No, Jeremy, it's Napkin. Nnn."
Me: "It's OK, Rachel, we understand what he means."
So, I threw together a picture of what I thought a mapkin might look like...

Today is Opposin Day!

Another Jeremyism. He comes home one day and says to Lisa, "Today is Opposin Day! I hate you!" and grins. Rachel has to correct him: "No, Jeremy, it's 'Opposite Day.'" To which he says, "Opposin Day!"

We are playing the Kepah Game!

After their cousin Evan's Bris last night, the kids got ahold of the bag of Kippot. They were strewn all around the house - and they danced and sang "We are playing the Kepah Game!"

Hello, Daddy!

I'm Miss Glamor! (At least, those are the words that popped into my head as the most beautiful daughter came upstairs this evening.)

I hate Fun and Joy

Jeremy comes home on the bus and says, "I like dots. And SweeTarts. But, I hate Fun and Joys." Of course, this is something he realized this Halloween. That's OK, plenty of people like Fun and Joy!!
