Monday evening we took a little family walk to Highland Point. It's about a mile each way, and the views of the Rocky Mountains at the end are breathtaking. I made Jon wear his shoes. He didn't wanna. His shoes, you see, are rather hideous. He's been wearing a certain $10 pair of Wal-Mart sneakers for the past few months and they have officially given up the ghost. A week before school ended, the sole of his right shoe filed for divorce from the upper. Some sweet lady at the office used duct tape to keep the shoe together until he got home. Good enough for me. I told him I'd buy him new shoes in two months. Jon isn't so excited, though, to wear the taped shoes. Did I mention the duct tape is neon pink?
So the shoes are ugly and pink. Jon isn't a fan. Pleading his case (which he lost, btw) he said "Mom. I can't go out in puberty like this! I look ridiculous!" I informed him that the word he was searching for was "public" not "puberty". And then Josie explained in a rather condescending tone, "Yeah Jon. Puberty is when you grow hair on your bladder."
Giving Josie and Jon the talk should bring a bounty of delightful misunderstandings.......all of which I will publish here.

I just laughed so hard I woke my kids up. Thank you very much.
LOL!! Oh my gosh Julie, I love your kids! They're hilarious!!
So funny. I had to come back and read it again. I've already told the story to two people. I can't wait for you to give them the talk so that I'll have more entertainment.
And about the burn out on the food -- it's bound to happen. Believe me, I tried every diet invented in my college years. I'm just impressed you still made healthy choices and didn't go hog wild. That's what I always did. That's also why I ended college about 25 pounds heavier than I started! If I were you, I'd try to incorporate the eating philosophy of the program into your lifestyle and not worry as much about the exact recipes and details. Although, you may want to consider the source on that advice!
Couldn't even choke out the story in the retelling when I was trying to relay this to my mom. Laughing (as always) too hard. Can you write a book? Thanks.
oh my gosh, i almost died.
that is completely priceless. i love your kids almost as much as you love mine. kidding, just as much.
Just be sure you get to them before their friends do. With that amount of potential for misunderstanding, you have no idea what weird notions will emerge when they're given incorrect information to begin with. Egad!
Bahahaha!!!! I just woke up my poor husband! You are too funny!
Growing hair on your bladder is so akward.
