Don’t be disappointed.
I can’t write about Josh EVERY day.
But I may devote a post to him once a month (as suggested).
I would do this because his comments and those who surround him with comments surpass the actual post.
Today I have to tell you about my boy.
He’s trying out pithy sayings in specific moments to see if they fit.
The result (and I’m not making fun of him) has been some awkward, ear to ear grin suppressing moments.
The latest attempt involved a swift exchange of words we were having about too much of a good thing (such as “all Stump all the time”).
His eyes focused in on me and his voice took a somber tone as he said: “well, only the good die young.“

I’d like to see that ear-to-ear grin being suppressed!

Reece is exactly like his father, which I’m sure makes Beth just proud as can be!!

So when is a good time to use that expression, I’m asking myself…

It’s a sad, sad day indeed. Now where will my ego go for care and feeding? Now that it has balooned even further, what can possibly sustain it? Fortuneately, I can go for a long time just telling myself how good I am. It’s kind of like living off the fat stores of self-estheem.
I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and dogonit, people like me.
Also, I loved this post because it remined me of Anchorman and Ron Burgandy’s mostly failed attempts to incorporate “when in Rome” into his every day speech. I find non-sequitors to be the source of nearly infinite amusement.
Try this out, just for fun tomorrow. Whenever anyone tells you some simple fact about their life or day, smile knowingly, nod your head and say “it takes two to tango, if you know what I mean.” No one will but at least half the people you say it to won’t want to admit it. Or, just try adding “if you know what I mean” after some obvious thing, like: I’m going out to get some milk at the store if you know what I mean.” This will freak people out.
With both of these things, you will get a lot of wierd looks, and no one will understand why you are so amused with yourself afterward, but it will be worth it.
Ok, I’m done now, got to get back to work…you know…”when in Rome…”
