While playing a very intense game of Monopoly during winter break the 8yr old pauses, dips his nose into the whipped cream on top of his ice cream, and loudly announces to us ..."I am the Queen of Jamaica!"
"Excuse me?"
The 11yr old chimes in ..."Ignore him. You should never have let him watch 'Cool Runnings'. He always says that now."
"Okay. But, don't you mean you are the King of Jamaica?"
"No Mon. I am the Queen of Jamaica, Mon. Just look at my hair."
Okay, so perhaps things will not change in 2011. Maybe it's best if things just stay the same! Happy New Year!
Wow, I haven't thought about that movie in years. I actually like it. I guess if I were wanting to be a queen Jamaica would be a good place for it. ;)
ReplyDeleteAll hail to the Queen! Loved that movie and I love times like these too!
ReplyDeleteToo funny! These kids come up with some interesting stuff.
ReplyDeleteI like sugar-coated snark.

You've obviously done something right -- the empowerment and comfort you've instilled in your children! :-)
ReplyDeleteI would miss your funny stories if that changed!
ReplyDeleteHa! Yea, I'm trying to be less snarky in 2011, but I'm realizing that it may just be a permanent part of me. Oh well :)
ReplyDeleteI don't even want to talk about laundry.
