Ol’ What’s-His-Name

Posted on January 7, 2015 by ParentingIsFunny

Here’s one from my draft slush pile that I just rediscovered and found rather amusing. The timing is off, but hey….

The night before Thanksgiving my sister took her daughter to New York City to watch the balloons being blown up for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade. On the way to the city her four-year-old asked, “Mommy, do those balloons go all the way up to that ‘Church Guy?'”

“You mean God?”

“Yeah, Him!”

Anne, mother of 7

That ‘Church guy’ may just have the best view of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade than anyone. 🙂

Outta the mouths of babes! This is a good one, glad you posted it! I am sure the Church Guy is snickering on this one too.

    What we were lent ended up being something different, wii sports resort or something. Lots of different games. Not quite what I was expecting. Not actual sports. And we didn’t end up marathoning, but it was fun for a while. Still a bit of exercise! Thanks for remembering and asking.

    Oh Bummer! You will have to find the Wii Sports Game like the one we have. It is awesome and tons of fun. Like I mentioned, I loved the tennis game a lot, and bowling was a blast! I perfected gutter balls pretty good too!

    What? Isn’t that how you bowl? Just like golf, don’t you want a really high score, right?

Too cute! Our priest passed away this morning and my six year old was asking all kinds of questions about what a heavenly body is like and if Father Mark will socialize with Great- Grandma and so forth. Sometimes I think kids have the dish on all things heavenly.
