Book of Jared: Spiderman and kissing

Jared: Mom, is it illegal to kiss someone else when you are married?

Me: (apprehensively) why?

Jared: well, on SpiderMan 3 Peter Parker was married to Mary Jane but then he kissed Stacy...ON THE LIPS!

Me: Jared, I'm pretty sure Peter Parker was not married to Mary Jane

Jared: no, they were married- she was gonna marry someone who looked like Peter Parker, but then she didn't and ran to Peter Parker and they kissed...ON THE LIPS! So, they're married. So, spiderman shouldn't have kissed Stacy! BUT is it illegal?

Me: Well, it is not illegal to kiss someone else if you are just boyfriend and girlfriend, but it's really not nice and...

Jared: (interrupting) yeah, I guess it's not illegal, cuz they wouldn't want to put a superhero in jail! (walks away)

Me: (speechless- this kid cracks me up and boggles my mind at the same time with the way his brain works)


To be clear, I have not seen Spiderman 3 since it came out, so I'm not sure about the plot points he is talking about :) But he watched it the other day with Granddad

Also, I again justified to myself why PG13 movies are rated thus and our younger children should not watch them (ahem...Kerry)!

And- I do realize that I let Jared think that it is illegal to kiss someone else if you are married. But I am fine with him thinking that, because by golly it should be! hee hee

Mommy/Son date Beauty and the Beast

Jared and I got to go on a date to see the high school’s production of Beauty and the Beast last month. 

It was awesome!!!  Of course I could be a little biased because my amazing nieces were in it

It was great to hang with Jared.  It always is! Unfortunately by blogging about it a month later I don’t have any great book of Jared moments to share, but I’m sure there were many.  He wanted to sit in the front row- and had to get all the characters autographs at the end.  He may still be a little young for a play, because he kept asking if it was over and was convinced he would die if we didn’t get to eat lunch soon

Book of Jared- rock star mom

So, Jared has been particularly witty lately and I have forgotten to keep up with the book of Jared so here are a couple:

Jared: (peeking around the corner of the laundry room) "Phew! I heard a noise and thought it was a vampire- but it's just you mom."
I love that he thought it was a vampire and still wanted to check it out! No fear :)

then later while I was putting clean sheets on his bed:
Jared: "Mom, how do you put the sheets on my bed so fast?"
Me: "Cuz I'm a rock star!"
Jared: "Mom, I don't think that you should say you are a rock star...because you are cooler than a rock star!"
Made my year!!!

Also, Jared got into a fight at school this week. While we do not condone violence as the answer and Jared was punished for making a bad choice, I have to share his logic.
Me: "You hit someone?!" "Why would you hit someone?"
Jared: "Well, the kid said 'I guess we're gonna have to do this the hard way' so I punched him."
How wrong is it that I am secretly proud of him for ending the fight with one hit? hee hee

I'm gonna go check facebook, cuz I'm pretty sure I have posted a couple of good book of Jared moments and they need to be here. I sure love that little boy of mine!!

Book of Jared- you speak Chinese?

So Jared is hilarious! That kid has his own point of view on how things work. He keeps saying stuff that makes me laugh and that I want to write down, but then I forget. SO I'm gonna start posting when he says something so at least I'll have it somewhere.

Here's today's:

My mom took us to get donuts after the kids' basketball games. The people who own the donut shop are oriental. Jared sees the lady and goes,

"Hi, do you speak Chinese?"

I about died! But then the lady says

"Yes, I speak Chinese." (i'm not sure if she actually does or was being funny)

So then Jared goes,

"But do you speak English, too?"

She says, "Yes."

Jared sighs with relief, "Good, I want that white cinnamon roll right there."

He was worried she wouldn't be able to understand which donut he wanted!

I'm sure there will be way more additions to the book of Jared. Im so thankful that he is my son- I love him so much!
