Special

Yesterday some of the funniest words I've ever heard spoken across the pulpit, were spoken by the bishop's son. He was referring to EFY and learning pick-up lines. "Hey, are your parents retarded, 'cause you sure are special." I'm still laughing about it.

Now I think it's just got to be a matter of time before someone says that to Dylan. Sometimes Wes and I look at him and say, "what a little weirdo." Like when he decided it would be easier to drink the carrot-oatmeal concoction that Wes was feeding him. Or that we're trying to cut out the binky before we have to reason it away from him. I cut it so there's nothing to suck on, but he still likes it. That kid is seven kinds of special.

That has got be the worst pick up line ever...I mean really would you go out with someone who said that to you? Ha! Some kids just like their binkis! I am still kind of sad that Chloe won't take one. I think "reasoning it away from them" is easier than trying to get them to be quiet during church without it - you know - you sit by us!

I laughed SO hard when I read that. It is totally a Carter Dredge line! That is hilarious!
