Inside Jan's mind

Once you stick your finger inside the dirty part of a dirty diaper to see if that is what you've been smelling, it is very hard to feel like your finger is ever clean again. I think I unconsciously hold it a little away from all of my other fingers for several hours after the fact. And yes, I do wash with soap.

Its funny to me that grandmothers will go to as great of lengths to choose their title as grandmother as they did for their own children. Gram gram, mimi, peaches, patsy, baba, etc. And then their grandchild names them "Buguh" and it sticks. Luckily neither of Clark's grandma's had a preference so not much energy was wasted.

Clark substitutes the "tr" in "truck" for "f". It is hilarious. Especially because he begins every word with a sound between "a" and "o" (everything has an article--a pen, a mommy, a baby). "O, $@#*". For some reason, I think it is really funny and not offensive. Hopefully everyone else does too. I need to stop having him say it though, he's catching on that it is entertaining and he'll never learn his "tr" sound.

There really is no way to answer anti-mormons. You just have to let them have the last word.

My niece calls my dad Bob. His name is Mike. We have no idea how it started. Trying to talk her out of it did not work. We love it now.

Sal will forever do the butt sniff. He holds the baby up high and sniffs away because he absolutely refuses to stick his finger in the diaper for the very reason you mention. He'd rather get a nose full I guess!

I agree with the anti-mormon comment (or even those whose Mormon beliefs vary from yours). Sometimes you just have to give up on the last word.

Or delete their comments! Heheh.

Why would you ever risk putting your finger in poop when there are other, perfectly legitimate methods for determining the state of a diaper?!

The comments on WDMB got so nasty that I had to unsubscribe from the e-mail updates.

It really bothers me knowing that there are people out there who hate something that is important to me.

I love the Truck story.

Amen. Amen. Funny. And Amen.

I am never clean, and I'm pretty sure we'll never smell the same, ever. I think the truck thing is hilarious, don't change it yet! I was an anti... and always always, last word. Now I just smile when people say the things I used to. (Miss ya!)

also, I like your new header.

When Clark says buguh it sounds so sweet I don't even mind being buguh. In fact, it's growing on me.

I think Linc and Clark will get around nicely, Lincoln is learning letters, his favorite is "F", but he think the letter "o" proceeds the "f" so likes to shout "O F!"...especially at church. It's generally followed by his request for "coke"

That is hilarious about those 2 and about his "f" substitute. Good thing you warned me or I would be a bit confused. I love the pic of your toes together too.
