Brand NEW Misadventure of Foot in Mouth Man: Raising FIMMs!



Episode 128: Raising FIMMs!

FIMM and Bonnie were at a family gathering this weekend.  Being new parents, naturally everyone was asking questions about their plans for Timm, Jimm, Kimm, Slimm and Enrique.   Some of the decisions they have made were well thought out, but FIMM's delivery could have used some work!  Here are some excerpts from his conversation:

We've decided not to allow the kids to watch TV at all.  TV rots the brain.  We don't want our kids to be couch potatoes!  And we don't want to be like other parents who use TV as a babysitter!

(At this point, several people suddenly found the door interesting!)



We're going to homeschool.  Public schools are just awful!

(Perhaps not the best word choice.)



OUR kids ONLY have educational toys.  We know how Nintendo and Wii keeps kids overweight because they never go outside and play in the fresh air!

(A few more just found the exit...)



Bonnie doesn't allow them to eat processed foods.  We want OUR kids to be healthy!

(Unlike these parents who want THEIR kids to be sickly! LOL)




By the end of the evening, the only people left in the room were the ones with NO kids.  FIMM ran out of his own feet to stick in his mouth so he had to borrow a few!

About Me

I was raised by two Atheists of Jewish heritage, married a non practicing Catholic and became a non denominational Christian due, in part, to some Amway meetings and a Jehovah's Witness who came to my door. My purple crayon writes with humor and almost always a little out of the lines. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This blog is my creative and fun way of sharing my thoughts on communication skills relating mostly to homeschooling and sharing and defending the faith. It also reveals a bit about how the Lord took this shy Agnostic girl and allowed her to find her voice and her purpose, a zany voice to the Christian community with insight as to what unbelievers need to hear about Christ Jesus. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'll share news items, quotes, family friendly humor, tips, trivia, and my newest feature: Question of the Week. I invite you to come share your thoughts! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For more creative fun with JoJo you can visit www.ArtofEloquence.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver." -Proverbs 25:11
