Talk about a moment of randomness and ‘where the heck did that come from?’ During last week’s flu-fest, Shortstack ran into our room and declared that he was no longer on speaking terms with Batfrog. I was shocked, as he and Batfrog had become extra close over the past few weeks. ‘Batfrog said some things we don’t say in this family.’ Of course I asked what Batfrog said, hoping I could give it a little context and background explanation, just like I would if it were a buddy at school. Batfrog said, ‘Damn.’ ‘Oh. That is pretty bad…and you’re right, that’s not something we like to say in our family…’ followed by the usual parental yada-yada. Shortstack pipes in with, ‘But that’s okay in some families, like in France and Germany…’

Hey–At this point, I’m just glad he knows there are other countries out there.
