Jake’s school has an after-school program called TGIF (Thank Goodness it’s Fun) and Jake was asking me questions about it -- what do they do, who gets to go, etc. I explained that it is for kids whose parents work... so that they can have fun and be cared for after school.

Jake replies, “Is it also for kids who bother their parents? So the parents can do stuff at home without their kids bothering them?"

american idol

we were watching the tivo-d american idol and apparently the judges were asking one of the contestants if his hair color was natural. the guy replied, “the carpet matches the drapes.”

jake thought that was hysterical. he kept laughing and saying it over and over.

of course he has no idea what it means, but let’s hope he’s forgotten in and doesn’t say it in school today!

LOVE fest?

We were walking into the most beautiful condo in the world (Jason’s) and a group was walking past us, obviously going to Lovefest in the Civic Center. One guy yells out to his buddy, “Hey dumb f&@#s... you’re going the wrong way!”

Jake whispers, “Mom, he just said a bad word...” (of course my face turns red - I didn’t know he’d ever really heard that word) ... he said ‘DUMB.’”

We definitely saw some interesting costumes between that at the big to-do in the Castro. Luckily, halloween is coming up, so we addressed any questions by saying, “Oh, they’re just getting excited for halloween.”
