More from Jonathan


Tonight, I picked up Jonathan from the ever-dreaded after-school program (we are trying a new program on Monday).  As we were walking out to the car, a cute little kindergartner was running far ahead of his mom.  The boys said goodbye to each other as we approached our car.  Christian was standing next to his car waiting on his mom and sister to catch up.  I mentioned to Jonathan that I thought the little boy was adorably cute.  This particular boy has very curly hair.  We all know what Jonathan thinks about curly hair.  As the mother rounds the corner to meet up with her waiting son, Jonathan yells, "Christian, I like your afro curls!"  Oh, wow.   Terribly afraid that this mother was going to be offended, I tried to do damage control.  I explained that Jonathan aspired to have hair like Christian's.  She laughed, and shared her displeasure with keeping up with crazy boy curls.  Thankfully, she didn't seem horribly offended by my son.  Seriously, more than once, he referred to his "afro."

Oh gosh.
Don't you just die when your kids say things that make it look like you're teaching them crazy things at home?
