The Problem with Joseph’s Coat
Mikey woke up with a rash and neck pain to compliment his fever from yesterday, so I called the pediatrician first thing and made an appointment for later in the afternoon. The rash turned out to be heat rash from a breaking fever and the neck pain nothing more than viral discomfort. He is doing better so long as he has Motrin on board, but even the worst virus couldn’t keep Mikey from pondering some of life’s deepest questions on the way home.
“Mama, why do you think Joseph’s brothers tried to get rid of him?”
“I think they were jealous of him.” This said while I mentally gave myself a standing ovation for even knowing what on earth he was talking about.
“Hmm. Yeah, I don’t think that was it.”
“Oh? Why do you think they tried to get rid of him?”
“Well, I don’t think they liked his coat.”
“What was so wrong about his coat that would make his brothers do something so mean?”
“Mama, have you seen Joseph’s coat? It has a lot of pink.”
ROFL
ROTFL!! Yeah… pink could do that to a guy.
Too cute!
Tell Mikey real men do wear pink. Just ask my DH who in a moment of desparation was forced to wear a pink Hello Kitty band-aid for 2 days. The girls loved it!
Well … if his coat was anything as depicted in that rather alarming picture, I’m inclined to think Mikey is right.
Ha! He makes a good point…
I am sitting in front of my computer laughing loudly and the dogs are looking at me weird!
totally impressed with your biblical knowledge! serious mom-points for that one(: so precious. what is it about car rides that brings out these ponderings? needs to be a favorite moment, no? happy new year!!
I’m so glad to hear that the is okay. I worried about him so much when I saw your Twitter post. And good for him for being able to keep focused on the important things while he is sick! Bless his little heart!
Marcy–you are the second person this week to mention Favorite Moments. Should I bring it back?
Toi–you are so sweet. It must have been your mama bear worrying that made him wake up today feeling much, much better.
Oh Jules this was too much but my favorite is your ‘mental standing ovation’, love you too much for that….
LOL. Awesome!
Here’s to a healthy 2010! Happy New Year Jules!
Jules, glad Mikey is ok. I was wondering about him yesterday. Glad I found out. Anyways, back to the business at hand. I think Mikey has a good point. If you delve further, you may ask him what about that all that pink is a problem. Perhaps it clashes with the green. Or maybe it’s just the fact that you are the only girl living in a family of boys. And pink my dear is the minority.
Shari–I asked Mikey and he said, “Well, pink is ugly. And, it’s for girls.”
So, there you go. Clearly not buying Trump’s pink tie anytime soon.
YES! Bring back Favorite Moments!
aww! so cute!
i love the pic of the beagles! we are a beagle family, too!
