The other night I went shopping with a friend. When I got home Dave and Landon were both kind of irritated. I asked what went wrong while I was gone and this was Dave's reply.
"I am not happy that kids are teaching our kids inappropriate words."
I asked what he meant. He told me Landon kept saying the phrase "Chubby Jesus" Dave asked Landon where he heard this he said "Gage, Taryn and Joelie told me." (my sister's nieces and nephew) Instead of asking Landon to expound on what he meant by that, he sent him straight to time out. I guess Landon said it a couple more times and got sent to time out a couple more times. Why do you ask if this is unfair?
Immediately I told Dave that Landon was saying "Chuck E Cheese's!! " I only knew this because Landon saw a commercial on TV for it earlier in the day. (Gage, Taryn, and Joelie had recently went and I guess were telling Landon how fun it was and Landon misunderstood the name...)
The poor kid was just trying to express his desire to go to chuck e cheeses and got sent to time out, not once but three times.
Needless to say Dave felt TERRIBLE and immediately apologized to Landon (who burst into tears...) Now we laugh about it (even Landon)
Dave felt so bad that he promised to take Landon to chuck e cheese's tonight. :) Lucky boy.

BEST STORY EVER!!!!!!!!!! I wish I could put that in my kids' book of remembrance. Lucky you!!! LOL!!!! That is hilarious. Poor Landon.
ha ha That is AWESOME! I love stories like this!
Yeah, Gage, Taryn, and Joelie walk around all day saying, "Chubby Jesus". That is so funny. I am glad Dave is making it up to Landon and will hopefully let him come back around my kids. I promise that they will watch their language, haha!!! :0)
Funny! I constantly work as a translator between Aaron and the kids.
I love these kind of stories. As you can imagine we have plenty around here. The challenge is to get them written down before another story takes it's place in the seive I call my memory. Good for you, getting it written down!
It is a very funny story, but I mostly just feel bad for David. I can see myself doing the exact same thing.
That is too funny.
Funny funny! Let me know how "chubby jesus" is we want to take Coen there for his 5th! birthday next week.
Mean DAVE!!! J/K. That is so cute. It is good that you have your blog so you can remember these things when you start to lose your mind :)
I thought this was so funny and I was determined to tell my husband. I kind of blew it though, I blurted it out at 6:30 this morning when I couldn't sleep. His response was, "you seriously couldn't wait to tell that until we are awake?" Oh well, I thought it was still funny at 6:30 this morning!
thank you so much for the much needed laugh out loud laugh!!!
That was hilarious! Poor Landon! He probably didn't know why he was getting sent to his room. Thanks for the good laugh!
Wow, I'm impressed. I think I can count on one hand the number of times I've baked anything from scratch. Kudos to you!
