THE STORY OF A SIGN

HISTORIA DE UN LETRERO (THE STORY OF A SIGN)

The latest from my wife’s monthly newspaper column. Hilarious!
I’ve got a little story for the next time you’re having a bad day. Yes, it’s another story about the joys of raising my 4 year old. This kid is incredible! He can be SO charming, loveable, and fun, and then, there are days like the following:
On Monday, we went to see a family counselor. We basically need to learn how THIS 4 year old works, so that we can find the strategies that are going to work with HIM. We DID learn that there are 4 personality types, and that my husband is one, I’m a different type, and the 4 year old is NOT a combination of US, but his own, unique type. He’s a Lion. Always wanting to be in charge. The counselor said that raising a Lion is VERY difficult, because children are NOT in charge, they CAN’T be in charge of most things, and thus, are almost always in turmoil. Yep, that’s MY kid! So anyway, we’re embarking on this new chapter, hoping that it will lead to more harmony, and less strife in our world. Pray for us.
On Monday evening, I was in the living room, watching some TV, and Andy was playing with his cars on the floor. I told him it was time to brush his teeth. He actually got up and went to the bathroom, (I almost fell over) I heard water running, and then when he was finished, he came out of the bathroom with the orange cup that’s kept in there for mouth rinsing. He was sipping out of it along the way. He says, “I brought you a drink of water, Mom.” I really don’t like drinking water. I know it’s good for me, but ick. But because he was so thoughtful, I took a teeny little sip. My thought at the moment was, “Note to self, make sure that cup gets to the dishwasher tonight”, because it smelled just a bit “funky”. Then, Andy took a big drink from it, and says, “Hmmm. That doesn’t TASTE like toilet water at all, does it Mom?” I grabbed the cup, took it to the kitchen, poured the water into a white bowl, and sure enough, there was the faintest blue tint there! MY CHILD FED ME TOILET WATER! The ONLY thing keeping me from just puking every time I think about it is the fact that there was that one little girl who did a study, and swabbed the toilet water at a fast food restaurant, and also took swabs of the drink dispenser, and the ice dispenser, and the toilet water was actually cleaner than the other areas of the restaurant.
So, there’s my little public service announcement for the month. Whenever things are going tough, you can sit back and say, “At least I didn’t drink toilet water today!” Just about everything else is less icky. Just about.

Sony Offers $100 Trade-In for Your Old TV
This may be what I’m looking for;
If you have an old TV lying around, it may actually be worth something again —like $100 towards a new Sony set to be specific. Besides encouraging consumers to spend ungodly amounts of money on Sony products, the offer is intended as to build on their “Take Back” Recycling program launched this past September.>

Runaway Jury
A very, very good flick. If you like John Grisham novels, you need to watch this! The plot twists and story line take you in different directions. I was entertained and glued to the screen the whole 122 minutes.
Its focus is on gun control. Aside from my opinion (or anyone’s), John Cusac, Gene Hackman, and Dustin Hoffman are good mixes of actors.
The Netflix ratings are all over the place on this one, but I rate it 5 stars!

A Walk to Remember
We rented this through Netflix. This movie was really nice. There were a few swear words in the beginning, but as the story developed, you hear less and less of that, and more of a positive message that you wouldn’t mind watching with your Grandma. It’s about a girl who is the P.K. (Preacher’s Kid) at school, and she gets picked on and harassed about her conservative dress, hairstyle, all that fun stuff. The “cool guy” gets busted doing stupid stuff and gets “sentenced” to being in the school play, which also stars, you guessed it, the PK… and he starts out making fun of her like everyone else, but then realizes that she’s got something he doesn’t have… Faith in God…. and he wants it… so he does what he has to do to get her father to agree to let them go out, and the rest, you’ll just have to watch the movie.

Pay It Forward
We never even heard of this movie until I found it Netflix one day…We took a chance, and it blew us away. This is an incredible story of hope, courage and love. Be prepared for an emotional rollercoaster and have some tissues on standby.
We will be renting this one again!
Rating 5 stars!
