I know, I said it was my last post before the move, but ...

I had a couple of miscellaneous one-liners to share.

We went to a child's birthday party at the local roller rink a couple of weeks ago. The kids had a great time, but the music was REALLY loud.

A couple days later, we were listening to Adam's iPod while eating dinner and Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" came on. A look of confusion crossed Xavier's face, and he said, "Dad, this is on your iPod?"

Adam said, "Yep."

Xavier said, "But they played this at the roller rink -- this is YOUNG music."


(This one is a little esoteric, so if you have not heard "Bad Romance," you may not get this.) My kids have not seen any Lady Gaga videos, but they have heard "Bad Romance" on Adam's iPod and the roller rink. The other day they came in and said, "Look, Mom, we're Baby Gaga!" They started dancing as they began chanting, "Gaga -Wa! Wa! Wa-ah! Gaga - Wa! Wa! Wa-ah!"


I picked Xavier up and gave him a hug a couple days ago, and said, "Sorry, son, but I have to enjoy this while I still can!"

"Yeah, because, before you know it, I will be a hulking teenager," he replied.


Last night, Xavier called me into the bathroom where he was having his bath. His head was covered with soap bubbles (bubble bath), and he had made a lego spider that he had perched on his nose. "Get it off! Get it off!" he begged while making a funny face.

"Oh, Xav," I replied, "You are a hoot. If you weren't in the tub, I would take your picture."

"Why don't you?"

"Because I still want you to be speaking to me when you are a hulking teenager."


OK, that's it! Signing off for a few days! Wish us luck (especially having our walk-through on Friday the 13th!)
