Last night we were watching No Reservations: China, and Owen was less-than-pleased that we weren't watching one of his shows.

Me: "Look at that beautiful village! It's really, really old. Much older than where we live!"
Owen: "I'm not impressed."

He stewed some more, crossed his arms, then finally turned to us and said conspiratorially, "You know what I heard? I heard that all of China likes the Yankees."*

Ahahaha.

We've watched so many "Life of Christ" shows on TBN (ya know, all british actors, very seventies vibe) that Iggy now thinks that "God lives in an old town called Bethlehem" and he wants to go there. I can't really get him to understand that the old town was in the past because I keep confusing him with the Jesus Died/But is NOT dead stuff. Another example of why we should be all be heathens until we're 15 and then choose our religion/spirituality.

Oh, man. We've only begun to go into birth and death on the surface; I wouldn't even know how to cover spirituality! Four- and five-year-olds are a tough crowd! :)

Like I said! These things shouldn't be discussed with the kiddos.

That kind of sounds like something my husband would say. My god, your kid is so damn funny.

Haha! It's like having a Catskills comedian in the house. "Thank you! I'll be here all week!"
"Well, you do live here."
"Oh, yeah! Thank you and good night!"

Somehow we were both dominant snark gene carriers. He's got the flippant air of a 14-year-old already. :)

You may know this already, but that kid is fantastic.
