I guess I'm the giant


AJ tried so hard to get me to play football with him last night. He threw the ball and smacked me in the forehead.

"All right, that's enough," I said.

"Play football with me, Mommy."

"I don't want to play football."

Thinking quickly, and obviously drawing a parallel between what he'd just done and his favorite Bible story, AJ next suggested, "Play Goliath with me."

Apparently Mommy isn't the only spin doctor in the family.

  1. you know how that story ends, with Giant getting his head cut off. I would avoid that game.

  2. Actually I only learned that part of the story about a week ago. The song ends with "And the giant came a tumbling down."
    I was innocently reading a book to AJ in the chuch nursery, and WHOA!
