Lunatic Platitudes

Amrin

Amrin was taking a shower when he called out to me saying, “Dad!” I asked him what and was floored by the response. In the sweetest high pitched voice of a very young man he said, “I grew a CHEST HAIR!” He was so excited that I advised him not to pull it out, to which he replied “Ok, I won’t!”

Ellyn had just completed a long hard week of training and working out. She was in agony, massaging her sore chest muscles. Amrin walked up and politely asked, “What’s the matter mom, do your udders hurt?”

“Flashlight Ants!” – Between 1 & 2 years old, the first time he saw fireflies. He didn’t ask what they were and I’m glad. If he had, we wouldn’t have this great word.

Making meatballs and watching them sizzle in the pan he says, “It’s like a hot tub for beef”.

Sitting on the couch he was in a pensive mood and asked, “Mom, if God made people…..who made God”?

One day while watching CNN, “So Goldilocks is a Republican because she wants everything for herself”?
