Over dinner…
CJ: (leans over and whispers to me) Mommy, call daddy a coconut.
Me: Jay, you’re a coconut.
CJ: Ha! (crosses his arms in smug satisfaction) How do you feel, daddy?
Jay: Mmm… I feel… sort of round and hard and… hairy.
(I raise an eyebrow at him across the table)
CJ: You mean you feel SAD?
Jay: NO… I feel like a coconut.
CJ: You ARE a coconut.
Jay: Right.

Yes it’s true, I got my H back. For which I’m eternally thankful, because this post just wouldn’t have been the same if I had to write *ard and *airy, now would it? Gotta love that H!

Yay! You got your H back. I want my 20s back, but I’m not holding my breath! :-)

WHEW! Because you were starting to sound all fake-cockney like Dick VanDyke in Mary Poppins.

I’m so relieved. Hardly slept a wink last night fretting about your life without an ‘h.’ It will truly be a Happy Easter now.

CJ sounds so fun!

You guys are crazier than coconuts.

You definitely cannot underestimate the importance of the letter h.
Dinner at your house sounds fun!

T and H stopped working for me earlier…ODD.
I’m never going to be able to look at a coconut the same.

Hooray for the return of H!

Have that Danny Kaye song in me’ head while reading this…
‘I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts, here they are standing in a row…
Big ones, small ones, some as big as your ‘ead…’

Thank goodness you have your H back. What a relief!
*ave a *appy Easter!!

My H is fine but I’ve lost my waist. Has anyone seen it?
March 24, 2008 at 9:37 am
Oh the Google pervs you’ll hear from now! And without the H you just sound like Fat Bastard from Austin Powers – all Scottishy! that’s pretty funny actually.

I love kid conversations…
Glad you got your H back!
