Just Sayin'.......

Family conversations around my home generally go something like this:

The Age 11 Inquisitor Drew: "Mommy, did you know Marco Polo travelled the Silk Road?"

The Age 13 All Teenager All The Time Kate: "Polo.....Polo......didn't he have a house somewhere near where we stayed in Jamaica?" Well, you are close, Kate. This would be Polo of the Ralph Lauren Polo who owns a home near the very beautiful Round Hill in Montego Bay, Jamaica.

Five minutes later.....

Kate: "Did you hear that Justin Bieber has a baby?"

Drew: "How old is he? If he is 17, how could he have a baby?" Anyone up for answering that one?


Watching a college football game with Drew....

Drew: "Mommy, have you ever seen a player run right over a referee?"

A Distracted Mommy: "Sure."

Ten seconds later...

Drew: "Mommy, do you know anybody with a unibrow?"

Mommy (shocked back to reality and now wondering if I need to wax): "I'm not sure Drew; I don't think so."

Note to readers: Never was the Women are from Venus, Men are from Mars theory on truer display than in my son and my daughter.

Drew is my "spiritual one." He prays fervently, reminds us of blessings before meals, speaks frequently of God. But, it was Kate who said today, "Mommy, if I just 'give it to God' do you think my grades would be better?" Well, yes and no, My Love, yes and no.
