My Son...the Translator

Posted in Family

I asked Gameboy (formerly Ninjaboy) to call Dad & see when he would be home. He calls Dad.

"Is 7:15 okay?" Gameboy asked me while on the phone with Dad.

"Yeah, I may not be here, but he can come home then," I told Gameboy.

"That's okay," he tells Dad.

He brings me the phone. Turns out Gameboy had translated Dad's respone of 7:00 to 7:15 (allowance for travel time) and translated my sassy response to a benign one (allowance for Mom being goofy).

He's no dummy.

Birth Announcement

Posted in Family

Don't faint G'ma...it's not that kind of birth!

Ninja Boy has a blog, Gameboy’sGalaxy. I made him start it, but Ithink he'll like it. He was eager during the setup process and even did theflag football post on his own.

I had been talking with strong handsome hubby about helping Ninja Boy discover some interests besides video games. This is a good start, though it's still electronic there's lots of room for "edumacation"value.

If you have a minute, pay him a visit. Thanks!

Update 10/14: His 3 lovely sisters have joined us in the blogosphere. Fifi, Songbird and BellaBoo have caught the bloggin' bug.
