He Still Has Me Laughing.

Owen just makes me laugh on a constant basis!

Today he came down from a nap and had a popcorn snack. While he was eating I was typing away responding to some emails right next to him.

Owen: Mom don’t bang you will get scratched! You have to hit them soft don’t bang or you’ll get hurt.

Me: Honey, what are you talking about? Bang what? (type, type, type)

Owen: Stop banging mom, I don’t want you to get hurt. Your ‘puter, you banging your ‘puter. (computer)

Me: OH! typing you mean. I will try to type softer, I’m sorry

Jeff and I have been trying to figure out what to get Owen for his birthday. We have mostly tried to decide between this inflatable bouncer or a sandbox. We know we want something for outside because the boys just love it out there. So soon after I asked him.

Me: Hey Owen, would you like a sand box?

Owen: (thinks) Yes, I WOULD like a sandbox!

Me: Do you remember that bouncer you played with Jett in?

Owen: Yes, I LIKED the bouncer!

Me: Well, would you rather have a bouncer or a sandbox?

Owen: (thinks for awhile) I want A SANDBOX! and THEN we could get a beach ball and put it on top of a BIG CHOCOLATE CAKE with treats. Yes, that’s what I want, a sandbox!

We had several HUGE laughs while he was sitting on the toilet. He had no idea how funny he was being. But for the sake of his future adult life I will save those ones from being told on the internet

A Paris Bashing Party Anyone?

I’m not a big Paris Hilton fan. I’m also not a Paris Hilton hater. I’m actually rather indifferent to her. The only occassions she comes to my mind is when I see her on t.v. or in a magazine. Other than that, I don’t think about Paris Hilton.

Today I was forced to think about her as my friend over at Non Sequitor sent me a link to this article.

Most of you know who Paris Hilton is so I won’t be pasting that part. What some of you may or may not know is that she is headed for Jail time for driving on a D.U.I. suspended license. She has appealed this sentence and will likely be unsuccessful. The diva better get used to bright orange (isn’t that what they wear these days?).

All of that really doesn’t matter to me. She broke the law and will be punished like anyone else. Seems fair right? What DOES annoy me however is what the author of the article says some Christians are doing in response. Read on…

A Christian group are planning to celebrate Paris’ jail sentence by trashing her CDs at US Hilton hotels. Mark Dice – founder of The Resistance, who have previously criticised 50 Cent and Jessica Simpson for being bad role models – will speak at Los Angeles’ Beverly Hilton on June 5 – the day Paris is due to begin her sentence. He said: “The kinds of role models that have come to light recently in America are horrible. “She is an extremely materialistic, uneducated person who rose to prominence because of a homemade sex video. Now we have all these young, preteen and teenage girls who really look up to her. “We’re going to be throwing her CDs in huge trash cans and getting them off the face of the Earth.”

COME ON PEOPLE!
Look, I think she dresses inappropriately. I don’t like the idea of her leaked sex video. Many of the things I have seen her in seem anything but edifying let alone an example to our young women. HOWEVER, the girl is making her bed and will sleep in it. I do not think she is constructing a whole agenda for our generation to lead it into complete depravity. I think she wants to be beautiful, rich, and famous… and in doing so may not have the best of morals.

To hold Paris CD trashing parties at her family’s hotel chain seems absurd. Aren’t there more time-worthy causes to fight? I get overwhelmed sometimes of the mere thought of all the sad, awful things going on in the world. All the people being sold in sex trade, children being taken advantage of, babies being aborted, mass genocide in africa, abuse, the plight of the poor…etc. As Christians if we are going to advocate for something, don’t those causes seem more valid?

I guess I’m treading on the line of being judgemental and I really do not want to be like that. Maybe these people have this bizarre calling? I just don’t remember Jesus talking about rejoicing when lost people get what’s coming to them. Anyone have thoughts on this?
