a sunkissed moon

immediately after dinner tonight owen decided to spit out a sip of water so as to get his legs and feet wet so he could say "i need a bath!" (perfectly logical if you're 3). he quickly stripped and ran past ian when ian said,

"OWEN! you STILL have sunshine coming out of your bum?!"

"IAN! " i sort of gasped, fumbling over my words

about to say

"where did you even hear that expression?"

but before i could...

a streaker ran past and i saw owen's tiny bum.

complete with the fading lower back tat that daddy thought was hilarious to draw on the other day while owen was wearing his pull-ups.

literally: sunshine coming out of his bum.

that's how awesome my kids are. sunshine shines from their bums.

literally.

can you say the same?

when my parents call me "artsy" because i put my son's hair in a mohawk from time to time or i choose tennis shoes for him that are not black and white (these are real examples)
weezer's "perfect situation" video (love it), paramore, box car racer, brandi carlile's "the story", a fine frenzy, and plain white t's "hey there delilah" and countless, countless other songs...

my husband's knowledge of every grizzly bear, black bear and cougar attack going back 100 years and how when my husband saw my list of guys who have a special place in my heart (see john krasinsky paragraph) he insisted that his paragraph be longer and how he wakes me up to kiss me goodbye every morning before he leaves for work
lists
john krasinsky, steven tyler (i can't explain it except to say that he is such a rock star and from 15 on i cannot shake my feelings for him), christian bale (but not all the time), adrian brody (all the time) and david letterman (that crush began around age 9 or ten much to my mother's dismay)
how my little boy doesn't say anything when he wakes up in the morning - he just quietly empties his 40 cars from the basket in his crib and then lines them up all around him... eventually he starts singing or talking and around 9am i go in there and without getting up or even looking up he says "hi mommy". then i ask him what he dreamed about last night and he always says "snakes" - then i bring him into bed with me and put the little t.v. on the end of the bed and he watches handy manny and the doodlebops while i wake up and cuddle with him

my bloodhound-like nose - i once found the source of a wretched smell rising from the floor of my parents house and was able to pinpoint the exact location in which they would find the dead animal from under the house - no one else could smell it
people using there/their/they're incorrectly
tangled computer wires
using to, too and two (although that one doesn't happen as often - but if it did, it would really bother me) incorrectly
