Snap
February 15, 2009 – 3:25 pm
This Valentine’s Day, CJ discovered the joy that is conversation hearts. And by “joy” I mean endless hours of desperate hilarity.
He hands me a little yellow heart. ”What does it say, mom?”
“Marry me.”
He throws his head back and howls with laughter. “Marry me! Bwah ha ha ha!”
He hands me another one, “What does that one say?”
“You go girl.” I snap for emphasis.
“Ooh hoo boy that’s a good one.”
and on and on and on we go.
Nothing is not funny. Fax me! Let’s kiss! Be mine! Cutie Pie! Top Chef!
What? Top Chef? When did THAT become a valentine’s phrase?
Finally I can take no more. It’s not that I don’t like our little game, it’s that I hate it.
“CJ, go downstairs and do something else,” I order.
He obediently heads downstairs and then, I hear from below,
“You go girl!” SNAP.
Yes, he even snapped.
That’s my boy.

CJ can snap?! I am impressed. We’re still working on that in this household.
Did you see the “Email Me” heart? I posted a photo of that on my site. I love Top Chef, but on a candy heart?! Who gets to pick these things??

Great stuff - if kids weren’t funny and cute, our species would not have survived!

I was unaware of both Top Chef and Fax Me. Who faxes people with their loving sentiments?

I had to stop buying those things. The phrases are cute and all but no one likes to eat them! Got tired of wasting my money!

Can you believe how “hip” and “with it” conversation hearts have become. Volcano’s favorite is “Email Me.” Puleez!

That is so cute! My son loves those things, too. He can’t read either, so I’m constantly telling him what they say.

I’ve only been reading (and enjoying) your blog for a couple of months now, and it seems like there were weekly entries from you, but it seems they have come to a halt after the 2/15 blog. Just wondering if all is OK in Seattle? Looking forward to hearing more from you!
