There's a new saint in town
2008-02-26 15:03:00 Busy Girl will be Confirmed this year Yes, I know. I'll do it for you: "zealot", "organized religion", "spiritual but not religious", "sheep", "papist", "statue worshiper", "idolatry", "not baptized correctly" (insert whatever here). Just work with me here, I have a point. OK, OK, you got me. I have as much of a point as I usually ever have. Actually, I feel another post coming on about Catholicism, but, that's for another time. I may be naive, but, it's only since I've been hanging around the Internets these past few years that I've discovered how much misinformation, fascination and bias there is about Catholicism out there. I really thought that stuff died out a century or so ago, but, I was wrong. It's just very strange to me. Anyway... Confirmation is a Sacrament, and, there's lots to do in preparation, such as select a confirmation name. A confirmation name is usually that of a saint, just accept that for this story for the moment. I asked Busy Girl if ...

Estate planning
2008-01-16 15:10:00 The kids were talking about something occurring many years in the future and Busy Boy added, "I'll be living at home then, anyway." Busy Girl was studying, but, piped in with, "No you won't, I'm the oldest and I 'call' the house." Busy Boy: "You can't do that!" Me: "Yeah, that could be a problem, what will you do with the old people living there, anyway?" Busy Girl (without looking up from her books): "Condo. Florida."

Post-Chirstmas, the * Edition and a Tiny Prints Coupon Code
2007-12-29 04:41:00 Busy D. (age 5) had basketball practice tonight. We left the house around 5pm, and, I apparently wasn't going fast enough to suit him as he loves him some basketball practice. He asked me to hurry and I said I was going as fast as I could, but, people were coming home from work, and, there was traffic. His very serious reply? "You really should have taken the Interstate, then". Speaking of his basketball team, this oughta be interesting. His coaches are saints, and, practices have been, um, challenging. It's not often I can say Busy D. (whom Busy Girl has taken to calling "Stitch") is the best behaved kid in the group, but, we'll take it. After practice, the coach asked me what I thought he needed to do (I have no idea why, I think it's either because he's mistaken me for someone who knows basketball since I was shooting some before practice, or, I'm the only one who'll correct my kid), and, I replied, "The only thing you can do, go get a beer." *****************...

Future famous blogger?
2007-12-19 13:44:00 Busy D. and I sometimes make up stories at night, especially if we've gotten to bed too late to read a book. Many times, the stories have recurring characters as he tends to name every character "Skittle", but, last night, a new one was introduced. Seems that "Scoble" the Spider was on the main stage in his mind. I don't know where it came from, but, as far as I know he hasn't been reading Scobleizer. But, then again, anything is possible with this kid. He may have just wanted me to believe he's visiting the Wiggles on the Internet, but, he and Robert Scoble really have some Web 2.0 business together somewhere.

Blacktop...gravel...gum...squished bug...re-tread
2007-11-15 15:09:00 We saw the Google Street View cameras this morning. I was trying to explain what it was to the kids. Busy D.: "You mean that car doesn't have wheels? Is it flying?" Me: "I'm not sure what you mean." Busy D.: "Won't the wheels get in the way of taking pictures of the street?" So, we may be in street view, but, it won't be nearly as interesting as the Top 15 Google Street View sightings. At least I hope not, anyway. I'm not entirely sure what the boys were doing in the back seat.

Costing him a job at Arthur Murray
2007-11-07 15:20:00 My middle child bitches more than any human you've ever seen has a penchant for the negative. You may recall that he's currently enrolled in Cotillion, and, you can imagine how that goes over most days. Actually, he does seem to have a little fun once he gets there, and, he's able to talk about what he's learned, but, he still puts great effort into convincing everyone that he has no interest in it. I picked him up from class Saturday, and, he was complaining about his hand hurting. As he usually has something hurting, or, not right, I didn't think much of it, and, I asked him if there was anything I could do. Apparently, I wasn't taking him seriously enough, and, he got a little agitated, and, with dead seriousness in an effort to let me know just how much I didn't get it, he proclaimed: "Mooooommmm. It hurt so bad, I COULDN'T EVEN DO THE LOOP DE LOOP ON THE FOXTROT!!"

Kindergarten self-awareness guru
2007-09-21 04:52:00 Busy D. had soccer practice tonight. He was a defender in a drill where he had to get in the way of the guy with the ball, but, he wasn't supposed to kick the ball away. As you might expect, he kept kicking the ball away, anyway. Coach: "Busy D.! Stop kicking the ball!" Busy D." OK". *kicks the ball away again* Coach: "Oh, well, I guess you just can't help yourself, huh?" Busy D.: "No, actually, I just don't listen." (Note: I don't make this stuff up, I just report it.)

Kids say the darndest things?.
2007-07-26 14:25:00 Our daughter, Delaney, is 7. Now, she is used to her parent’s strange obsession with horror films. Not that wee sit her down in front of them and make her watch, but we don’t necessarily shield her from them either. She would sit and watch Buffy and Angel and Dark Shadows with me ...

Cancel that cable TV subscription
2007-05-14 16:12:00 "Inside, she's thinks she's beautiful. Outside, I'm thinking some sort of plastic surgery". -Second grader's answer to the question, "What does your mom want?", read at Mass yesterday for Mother's Day P.S. There are way too many of you searching this site for "slutty swim wear" (and, "slutty wedding dress" wtf?) followed by "Best color for gray hair". I'm going to be the one to break it to you: if you need the answer to the hair question, then, the swim wear and the wedding dress are off limits for you. No, I never get tired of giving.

Kids Say The Darndest Things
2007-04-27 05:13:00 “Oh, and guess what your son said at school today?” That can’t be good. This has been an odd week at the Franzone house. Our children attend a private Christian academy here in Pensacola, FL and my wife on very rare occasion will substitute teach. I say very rare because we have a baby at home ...
I know I am, but, what am I?
2007-04-24 06:01:00 Busy Girl is on a roll: The Preschooler Formerly Known as Busy Baby: "Am I the l last baby?" Me: "Yes." The Preschooler Formerly Known as Busy Baby: I'm the littlest baby, and, Busy Boy is the medium baby." Busy Girl: "And, I'm a big baby!" *much guffawing all around* Busy Girl: "What? Oh, did I just say that?!" (Note: if you are not a parent, you may need to be reminded that calling someone a "big baby" is among the ultimate grade school insults.)
