The Reason I Married You

Every Friday Evan is to pick a toy or object that begins with the letter of the week his class is studying. They take the toy to school, put it in a plastic tub, and then share it at share time.

Every Friday Shaun loves to think of words with Evan. He always sends Evan in with these huge words to spout off like "Conservative" or "bipartisanship," or words for shock effect like "Xanax."

I love overhearing these conversations because Evan's words are really very good, too. For O-week he suggested "oficina" and "organize." But breakfast was especially amusing this morning.

I stood in the kitchen sucking on coffee beans and Prednizone- ("delayed allergic reaction" to Cipro- another story for another day, but I have what looks like the chicken pocks head to toe right now,) and these are the fatherly suggestions I overhear:

1. Ronald Reagan

2. Rave Party: Madalyn screams with glee, "YEAH! RAIN PARTY, EVAN!!"

3. Rush Limbaugh

4. Rash: "You can take, mommy, Evan"

5. Rubber (as in a rubber.)

Jack then adds his two cents: "bawush-a-ma-BaWICH."

Shaun, after taking a sip of his coffee: "I think he just called you a b_ _ch."
