So much for unconditional love...

This may fall into the "Oops, sharing too much" category. But because it involves Henry, I figure his fan club out there will think it's too funny to pass up.

This morning, I was sitting on the couch in my nightshirt, having just fixed a huge chocolate-chip-pancake breakfast, and was getting big snuggles from my boys for having done so. Then Henry bounded off the couch to go get dressed, hesitated for a moment, then threw his arms around my knees, pressed his little cheeks against my legs and started to say "I love yo..."

But something made him stop. He screwed up his face, stuck his tongue out and stared a me as though I had turned into the creature from the Black Lagoon.

Then he bluntly explained:

"Ewww. Mommy. You. Are. Pokey."

I'm getting grief for my depilation hygiene from a 4-year-old boy. I looked at Tim and said, "Geez. You don't even say anything to me about that."

Tim smirked and simply said, "I've learned."

In her radio show, Dr Laura Schlesinger said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, written by a U.S. resident, and posted on the Internet. It's funny, as well as informative: Dear Dr. Laura: Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination ... End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them. 1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexic...

In memoriam...

I remember the first time I heard the name "Les Anderson." A bunch of Wichita State University communication majors were sitting around on campus, talking about classes they planned to take. Several people warned me: watch out for Les Anderson. He was tough. He had a murderous grading scale. It was nearly impossible to get an A. They weren't kidding. But he wasn't tough just to be a tyrant. From his teaching sprang a fleet of incredible, successful journalists, writers, editors, broadcasters, public relations experts, advertisers, non-profit professionals...I could go on and on. Most importantly, he created a legion of people who wanted to make a difference in the world. The greatest gift Les gave to them all? He believed in them, cared about them for their own personal stories as well as the stories they told for class assignments or in the pages of his hometown newspaper. Les was my teacher. My boss. My mentor. My conscience. My champion. My friend. When I started c...
