Party of "3"...Daddy, Mommy & Me!

Most kids (we are sure) enjoy evenings of reading books, playing with toys, or maybe even opportunities to watch age appropriate television shows. Never in a million years would we have guessed that “bull riding competitions” would be the kid’s television show of choice!

And to be sure we have a show available whenever the request is made (because we all know bull riding competitions aren’t shown everyday); One show has been successfully recorded and labeled…”DO NOT ERASE UNTIL SPACE IS NEEDED!”

Again we say…Are we CERTAIN we brought home the right kid?

This time…we blame Maw-Maw!

I guess the relationship is ALMOST like women and their "shoes!" Although, we tend to get excited when they're our own :-)

A trip to "Gringos" yielded yet another evening of fun and excitement!

Here's the setting: Joseph is in a high chair playing on his placemat with crayons and the like, Daddy and Mommy are sitting on either side of the table, everyone has ordered and are now enjoying meaningless chatter to keep the kid occupied until the food arrives.

Joseph: "I want food Mommy!"
Mommy: "ok Joseph, we have to ask the lady to bring our food. It should be coming in a minute."

(the waitress is standing a ways off tending to other customers when Joseph yells:)

"LADY I WANT FOOD!!!!"

Mommy and Daddy slide under the table laughing hysterically, totally embarrassed!LOL!

Note below an exchange between Mommy and the Kid. Mind you, we had no idea that he was able to associate first and last names with "other" people...goes to show you that two year olds know more than you give them credit for! LOL!

Mommy: "What's your name?"
The Kid (emphatically): "Joseph"
Mommy: "Joseph what?"
The Kid: "Joseph Bown!" (yes Bown without the "r")
Daddy asks (pointing at Mommy): "what's her name?"
The Kid (emphatically): "Mommy"
Mommy says: "Mommy what?"
The Kid (without hesitation): "Mommy Bown!" (in a tone as if to say..."dummy, you don't know?")

Priceless!
