Bug

Saturday night I was checking the Enloe babies online to see if some of the women from our birthing class had delivered when Aaron saw a baby girl named Lily Joy. He got excited, "Look! Lily Joy!" I couldn't understand why he got such a kick out of it. He looked at me with the most confused expression on his face. "Our niece, Lily. Isn't Joy her middle name?" I genuinely had no idea. It sounded vaguely familiar, but I just know her as my Lily Bug. So, Sunday morning as my sister and I were sitting and talking, Lily bug squeezed by. I stopped her and asked "Lily, what is your middle name?"

She smiled sweetly and said "Bug. My name is Lily Bug."

Tuesday Afternoon

After spending several hours playing in thrift stores, my sister Andi and I went through the MacDonalds drive thru and got lunch for ourselves and her five daughters. We sat around her dining room table eating when Kung Fu Panda sparked this conversation:

Me: Oh, you might not like Jack Black after you hear this.

Andi: Oh no, what?

Me: Well you know how "Hollywood" is upset about Prop 8, they decided to make a musical about it. Jack Black plays "Jesus" and on one side of him is the stereo typical right-wing conservative "Christians" who pick and chose what they want to believe out of the Bible. On the other side, a group of "alternative lifestyle" people ( I didn't want to say gays in front of all the girls), and a bunch of tattooed, pierced and mohawked people.

Andi: Oh dear.

Me: It was pretty bad.

Lily: Mommy has tattoos!

Moriah: I bet Faith wants a horsey tattoo!

Me: ya, right on her bottom too I bet!

Faith: (rolls her eyes)

All the girls giggle.

Moriah: Ya, so she'll always be sitting on a horse!

I laughed so hard I almost puked. So did Andi. Moriah actually did.
