Gender Bendin' hits from the Palm

This is an old anecdote from the spring:

When my three year-old and I went to pick up my 6 year-old we ran into my six year-old's best friend's mother and a friend of hers who was visiting from out of town. Nothing that notable right, well my little guy asked who was that women with "Jack's" mommy,
Me: "Oh that's her friend from out of town"
Him: "Does Jack have two mommy's"
Me: "No, he has a daddy and a mommy, that's just her friend"
Him: "Jack has two mommies, Jack has two mommies!"

And for a couple of weeks, in and out of the house, "Jack's got two mommy's!"

Another similar public comment from last spring made by my three year-old as we were strolling along in the supermarket:
"Daddy, mommy's got a penis!"
Me: "No she doesn't honey, please keep it down"
"Daddy ... mommy's got a penis!"
Oh great ... now cereal aisle at A&P Fresh thinks I'm married to a tranny or a hermaphrodite.

Strawberry Quick Methamphetamine Warning

I got an email about this Strawberry Quick drug being "handed out to kids in schoolyards," check the above link, it states that there are different colored Meths, but they are no cases of flavored Meth being giving to little kids or any children showing up in the emergency room because of it.

Just a little funny

I can't remember what we were talking about, but my 3 yr-old said something and I gave him some stupid reply using a silly voice, and he said something to the effect of why are you talking like that, and I said, "Oh ,I'm just being weird," to which he answered,
"No not weird, funny, but just a little funny."

Wow everyone's a critic, now my childish banter is being rated, I wonder if his assessment of my poop jokes set will be a little kinder.

Irony

A cousin of mine who is in her late 50's is getting her leg amputated at 3PM ET today, it got shut in a door when she was like five years-old and has given her serious problems ever since, in a strange way it will make her life easier. The irony is not only that her (and my) Grandmother also had a leg, and eventually both legs amputated, but that her mother after successfully recovering from heart surgery died two years ago on this day in same hospital while in a subsequent surgery for a staff infection which she caught during her recovery time via bed sores.

I personally would not if at all possible go back to that same hospital to have a procedure done on myself, but it's suppose to be a good hospital, North Shore University Hospital in Long Island, so may be I'm being dramatic, but fuck that if some one I care about went into a hospital for one thing and dies from some totally different thing that was not preexisting when they went in, sorry not for me ...
Best Places to Raise Kids 2009 per BusinessWeek
Edison came in first for NJ, with Clifton and Union as the runners up, WHAT? I guess suburban sprawl and landscapes marred by strip malls is considered desirable by BusinessWeek.
