Jacobisms

January 1, 2010. What better way to start off the new year than with some Jacobisms? Here you go:

"Pepperoni is made from pig and lots of pepper." Mmmm....

When surveying the gifts under the tree Christmas morning, Jacob spotted one he was sure he recognized. He gleefully said to me, "Mom, I think know what that one is!"

"What is it?" I asked.

"It's a canoe! I just know it! It's gotta be a canoe!"

"Really? A canoe? We'll see about that when everyone else wakes up."

It turns out it was a hockey stick from my mom. He was just at thrilled with the hockey stick, and I was still amazed with the fact that he thought a canoe could be so neatly wrapped and placed under the tree!

------------------------------------------------

He calls the latest Harry Potter movie "Harry Potter And The Half Black Prince" Um....not exactly right....

------------------------------------------------

"Mom, why do they call it 'lemon' bologna?

"Probably because of where it is made - Lebanon, PA, I think. I'm not sure."

"Oh yeah. You're right. It's made in in a lemon factory where lemons are squeezed for juice."

He still refuses to believe that it's Lebanon bologna. Whatever.

------------------------------------------------

Last night he was running around the living room signing a familiar tune. Greg asked him to stop and sing it for us. It was KISS, Rock And Roll All Night. This is what we got:

"I wanna rock and roll, HOT DOG! And party every day!"

I really don't think KISS would throw the phrase "hot dog!" into any of their songs, do you?

-------------------------------------------------

I had planned to go to the grocery store yesterday morning. Well, we had an unexpected snow storm over night and into mid-morning. Any of you who know me, know that for me to change my plans, it has to be something significant. We only had about 3 inches of snow, so I packed the kids in the car and off we went. When we got to the store, it was great. No one was there! I said to Jake, "one of the best times to go grocery shopping is during a snow storm. People panic and go before a storm, so it's crowded. People have to go after a storm and restock their supplies, so it gets crowded then too, but no one in their right mind goes in the middle of a storm. There's barely anyone here! This is great!"

He looked around and said, "Uh, Mom, you said no one in their right mind would come to a grocery store in the middle of a snow storm. I think you mean no one with any mind at all. This is nuts!"

Apparently, I have no mind at all! As much as I hate to admit it, he may be on to something there...

Happy New Year everyone. I hope you have started the new decade with a smile!
