Joey"isms"

This is as good place as any to jot these down.

Last P/T conference, Joey's teacher said that she wanted to tell me something. Of course, I'm like, "OH NO, what did he do now?". Turns out they had a really bad day with the kids being really rowdy. She called a class meeting and asked them what they should do about it. Joey raised his hand and said, "we should pray". She said she was really taken aback and told him that "for those of us that pray, that's a really good idea!". Then he said that all the kids should learn the fruit of the spirit and proceeded to recite Galations 5:22. She told him that those were all good things and that they were life skills that they were learning in class. Go figure, my little Moses.

Last week, Joe was grilling Joey on what to do if someone offered him drugs (you know how Joe is) or if a bully should pick on him. Joey told him that bullies aren't allowed at their school. They have a No Bully policy. Then he told us that they EXECUTE bullies at Jefferson. When we started laughing, he stopped and said that it was something like that. I said, "You mean, EXPELLED?" He said, "Yeh, whatever". I guess executed sounded better. I want to send the principal an email that his bully policy was a little "harsh".

Finally, Sunday night after church, we were asking Joey what his lesson had been about in Sunday school. We got the, "I dunno". Then a couple minutes later, he said, "I remember now. It was about Guidion. And how he defeated the MENNONITES. Once again, I couldn't help myself and busted out laughing. Joe asked him if maybe it was the Isrealites? Joey said no, he was sure it was the mennonites.

Man, I just hate it that he's growning up.....
