  • another jesse story for your enjoyment....

    the running joke in our family right now being that everytime i walk on our hardwood floors with my cast it makes a 'thunk' sound...so when i walk, the favorite thing is to say 'thunk, thunk, thunk - in time with my gait [as if the sound itself isn't enough].  terms of endearment abound as well - everything from 'crip' to 'gimpy'...

    you get the idea.

    so i walk into the dining room last night and my brother sam asks 'so havah - i think i'll just call you 'cripple' for a while - you don't mind, do you?'

    i was really in no mood for it, having just come from the doctor and being told/seeing that the bone is not healing.  being in the cast for three more weeks and talk of surgery had me at a little less than my normal jovial self...

    it was all that i could do not to say something ugly to him...but let it slide.

    jesse was also sitting at the table listening to the whole exchange, and i could see his brain working as i klunked past...

    so he comes up behind me and says 'havah - i think i will call you 'charcoal' now'

    'okay jesse - why?'  i ask.

    he replies as he licks his finger and makes a sizzling noise

    'because you are HOT!'

    ummmmm - thanks for that - not sure how i feel about my 10 year old brother telling me that i am hot....
