Last Sunday, I had Child Room duties at Church. This particular day, it was just me and Juss.  After our own puppet show, we got into a conversation about his imaginary brothers. (Recently, he told me that there are 16 of them.) I was curious whether I was the mother of these invisible brothers, so I asked Juss…

Juss: “But I really, really, really want to play a Transformer in the Harry Potter game tonight.” Mommy: “Juss, you can’t. You have to go to bed. Besides, there are no Transformers at Hogwards.” Juss: “WHAT? But they have attacks! And they’re cool!” John, in his best Patrick Warburton voice (think Kronk from Emperor’s New Groove): “He…

Mommy: “Please do not look, I’m  [something requiring privacy].” Juss: “But I’m just ‘checking you out’, like Brock!” Mommy: “You cannot ‘check out like Brock’ your mother.

In our last installment, you met the family. Today, I shall introduce you to the house. Our house is named Volcano. Orville gave it this name when he was four and his favorite book was DINOSAURS, DINOSAURS, LONG, LONG AGO! (which has a volcano in the pictures.)   Volcano is not a bad name for…

 Since I have no idea who (if anyone) is reading this, I thought I would include a brief introduction:  The Wright Household consist of two adults, three cats, one cherubim masquerading in human form, and two whirlwinds who occasionally, through great dint of effort, assume human form. The adults and cats in the household are not…
