Overheard in our Van. . .

Little Man: Momma, I have decided that I want to be a Mousketeer, instead of a Policeman.

Momma: Really, sweetie?

Little Man: Yes, ma'am. 'Cause Mousketeers get to carry swords. . .

Momma: Don't you mean MUSKETEERS?

Little Man: Oh, yes ma'am. Just like on Tom and Jerry.

Please avoid "The Letter C"

As I was putting Reilly to bed tonight, he asked if I had ever heard of "The Letter C." I responded with "of course dear, the letter between b & d." He proceeded to tell me that in Bible class last week, he learned about "The Letter C." Apparently, when you contract "The Letter C," your nose falls off, your fingers fall off, and your toes, knees, ears, and legs also fall off.

If you haven't figured it out by now, he was referring to LEPROSY!

He continued that when Jesus healed people with leprosy, all the body parts that had previously fallen off would be replaced with new ones.

Excitedly, I said, "What is it called when Jesus heals someone Reilly. . .it starts with an 'M'." He thought for a second and said "MMMMMMMazing!"

That's my guy!

THE FIVE BEST THINGS TO SAY IF YOU ARE CAUGHT SLEEPING AT YOUR DESK

5. "They told me at the Blood Bank this might happen."

4. "This is just a 15 minute power nap they raved about in the time management course you sent me to."

3. "Whew! Guess I left the top off the Whiteout. You probably got here just in time."

2. "Did you ever notice sound coming out of these keyboards when you put your ear down real close?"

And the NUMBER ONE best thing to say if you get caught sleeping at your desk...

1. Raise your head slowly and say, "...in Jesus' name, Amen."
