more random blathering and my cute little nephew

So last night I get to my sister's house because I promised her I'd babysit so her and her husband could go out to eat without da babies. Kind of like a mini vacation and I walk in the door and I say, "Jackster!" and he comes running over. But um...that was bad because he was supposed to be in time-out for sitting on his sister's head. So there was some screaming 'cause he wanted to come over and see me but he was in trouble and couldn't.

After that debacle I pick him up, kiss his cheekies (cause they are fat and cute and that's my show of affection other than hugging and telling him I missed him and love him. yeah, I get it all forms of love in there.) and he starts telling me about his day. Then I ask him, "Jack, who loves you the most?" He points at me and says, enthusiastically, "Jen!" then I laugh, diabolically, and he says "Jen, Jen, Jen." Awww...I love my nephew. I know I am #2 on his favorite list behind Gramps but that's okay. I'm #1 when Gramps isn't around and that's a lot. :) I take what I can get.

So later on after we took him to the playground (me and Gramps) and Michelle and I are driving back home I say, "Jack, who loves you the most?" and points to Michelle and says, "Mumma!" We laugh and then I say, "Jack, who do you love the most?" and he again, points and says, "Mumma!" So we laugh and chuckle yet again. So my last question is "Jack, how'd you get so cute?" and he points at Michelle and says, "Mumma!" I couldn't stop laughing. It was so cute and I think Mitchelley was touched because little kids really don't appreciate their parents and this was his way of doing that. :)

So this next bit is completely off topic but I was thinking about all the sayings and special wordings we have in my family. Like...

• we call Shrimp, shrimpies (Dad started it)
• crappies as in the fish I call crap-ies as in poo.
• picking vegetables is code for doing the nasty, the chitty chitty bang bang, you get the idea (sorry, did I forget to mention that this blog is occassionally not PG?)
• nutbag - that's a crazy person or you do something nuts
• "are you on crack" that means "are you crazy" or "what's wrong with you?"

That's all I can think of right now but it's pretty funny.
