Because it's all about my kids...
Kathryn, in her bedtime prayer the night before church, as she nervously anticipated crossing paths with the Sunday School bully:
"Because, God, we know you don't like kids who kick little girls..."
"Because, God, we know you don't like kids who kick little girls..."
Butless
Pronunciation:
\ˈbət-less\
Function:
noun
Meaning:
a female who performs the duties traditionally held by a butler according to Andrew when I inquired of him who the HECK an otherwise nameless female character was in the movie he was watching
Used in a sentence:
"Oh, she is like their butless."
As soon as the word was off his tongue he realized his faux pas, though it seemed like a perfectly logical error (and explanation) to me. I knew what he meant straightaway and neither of us could stop laughing.
That's my boy!

Gideon
I am breaking my blogging silence to share...
This afternoon during Andrew's visit to the pediatrician's office, Kathryn opened the book drawer in the exam room and spotted a Bible amongst the sea of standard kid-friendly mainstays. She promptly and gleefully informed me..."Mama, it's a Bible." But not only did she correctly identify it, she followed it up with "...a GIDEON Bible".
As I smugly smirked to myself that she had recognized the Gideon symbol and had known what to call it, I wondered if the doctor of middle-eastern descent, and presumably Muslim persuasion, would take notice.
Kathryn took her seat on the footstool and began perusing the pages as she "read" aloud...
"In the Bible, Gideon was the first to be PREGNANT..."
Yup, train 'em up in the way they should go...and no, the doctor didn't even seem to notice...the Bible or the scripture recitation.
