My grandson talks to Jesus.

[trof]

Really.
He's 18 months old (my grandson, not Jesus), and he has discovered the telephone.
Any solid, elongated object that fits in his hand is a telephone.
He picks up a small flashlight, puts it to his mouth and ear and says "Heh-woh?".

Miz t. is putting away the Christmas decorations. The 3 inch long baby Jesus is missing from the manger in the crèche. Well, when there's been an 18 month old in the house for a week, all kinds of things turn up missing.

A few days later our daughter calls.
"Are you missing something from the crèche?"
Yep, the baby Jesus is MIA.
"We have it. Jack got ahold of it somehow. Now it's his telephone. He's talking to Jesus, but Jesus isn't talking back...yet."

5. Adorable!

6. "Talking to", okay

"Talking with", that would be eyebrow raising.

7. That's so cute--just don't let him keep on doing it when he's 50, like a

certain squatter I know.

8. very cute: BTW, I have no problem with any one any age talking

to Jesus. Now when they profess to be the "chosen one" to lead us, now THAT's when I've got problems!

[joeybee12]

9. Yeah, but if a 50-year-old took the baby jesus from the manager and

put him on the other end of the phone, wouldn't you think that's strange?

I tell you, it's driving Pickles crazy!

[hlthe2b]

11. LOL

Well, I don't think it took much to drive Pickles crazy, but if that was the kicker, I've gained some respect for her!

BTW, I absolutely DO NOT BELIEVE that Bush truly believes his religious spew. I think he learned and embraced this as an easy way to become accepted. He then learned to exploit it to get what he wanted, just as he learned how to exploit his "supposed" BSing, back-slapping charm and charisma to survive as a frat boy.

By guess is that he has those moments when he chuckles to himself at the religious "right" and probably has rude nicknames that he contemptuously refers to him, when he thinks no one "important" can hear.

[joeybee12]

12. I don't want to believe it either, but I really do think he does believe

he is ordained and appointed by God--pretty scary.

10. As we Christians sometimes say

Through God, anything is possible, and I mean ANYTHING.

13. Love it.

Your "Jack" stories are a real bright spot. Keep 'em coming!

[veganwitch]

15. You're Channeling Erma Bombeck

I love reading your stories!

16. Could be my next CSM essay. Thanks all. Hey Allen-

Although I never went for all that New Age blather, I think you might be right about channeling Erma.
Who knew?
Spooky.

Jack has now learned how to distract his mom when he's done something that pisses her off. He just learned the word "butt", and where his is. When he does something bad, and she's getting on his case about it, he points to his and says "bott" and grins and she collapses with laughter and that's the end of the discipline session.

I think he takes after his grandpa.
Poor little booger.

17. Hahaha! That must be precious!

You can't ever get rid of the figure now...
