and now a conversation of, erm, possible biblical passover related proportions? maybe?

josh: mommy, it’s so boiling in this car

me: i’m sorry, sweets. take your jacket off.

josh: gosh. it feels like Egypt in here.

me: Egypt?

josh: yes, Egypt. don’t you know. it’s really, really, really hot there?

me: um, okay, sure.

josh: that’s why it’s called Egypt.

me: huh?

josh: well, Gyp, in the Egyptian language, stands for beach. and we all know that beach is sweating hot. so that’s why Egypt is called Egypt.

me: interesting. i’m glad i pay the big bucks to send you to school.

josh: there’s a lot of sand there. don’t you know anything, mommy?

hmm..interesting.

and now, a video of apple-bottomed jean and furred boot proportions:

hahahahahahahahah! i can’t figure out who is funnier today ๐Ÿ˜‰

  4. Good grief! Your kid can DANCE!
    My oldest was very fond of some Biblical story tapes for a long time and was prone to suddenly bursting out with “Mom? Did you know that Abraham used to be called “Abram”? Isn’t that WEIRD?” Um, yes.

  10. I came upon your blog randomly through a couple other blogs, and I have to say…that conversation with your son and video of your daughter were hilarious! I have a 3 yr. old that says the most random things like that and puts on dance videos for me too. I think I will have to post one sometime now. Thanks for making me laugh today. I enjoy your blog..will visit again!
