I am turning 30 next month.<BR/>Zelda | Homepage | 04.19.06 - 11:08 am | # <BR/><BR/>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<BR/> <BR/> And there was this one time, at band camp, an ASIAN played the flute.........<BR/>Kristin | 04.19.06 - 1:38 pm | # <BR/><BR/>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<BR/> <BR/> I am sure the whole death and dying thing is due to her visit with Jethro's dying grandma. It is hard on kids, they don't understand all of it. Hell, it's hard on adults.<BR/>Jen | Homepage | 04.19.06 - 4:08 pm | # <BR/><BR/>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<BR/> <BR/> That reminds me: Randall's has these new Indian sauces that you mix with yogurt and chicken and it turns into a pretty close replica of what you get in an Indian restaurant. It's good but I'm getting kind of Sikh of it. You Indians would like it.<BR/><BR/>Our kids are 10 and 8 and we've never had a problem explaining death. They lost my wife's father and my mother by the time the oldest was 7. We are a family with religious beliefs but we don't go to church. We do pray before dinner, etc, etc. Things like death are a lot easier to children when you can just say 'God needed grandma to come live with him'. We started practicing our religion again when they were born - mainly to ground them in life and to give them a sense of 'this isn't all there is.'<BR/><BR/>I've also told my kids that as long as I can live long enough to see them grow up and start their own families, I'm not afraid to die. They now look at death as just another place we go when we leave here.<BR/>slug | 04.19.06 - 6:46 pm | # <BR/><BR/>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<BR/> <BR/> Dumbledore said: "To a well organized mind, death is the next great adventure."<BR/><BR/>As for Asian, I had Chinese today, and talked about clay pots with my co-worker. I also missed an opportunity to have Vietnamese over the weekend because peeps in Columbus can't give directions. They suck, and I have no clay pot fish.<BR/>Inanna | Homepage | 04.19.06 - 8:11 pm | # <BR/><BR/>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<BR/> <BR/> Kristin - And this other time at band camp, I stuck an Asian in my ...<BR/><BR/>Jen - I'm not really sure what brought it on. It could be grandma, but she isn't with Jethro's parent's anymore.<BR/><BR/>Slug - I think she is just a little high-strung and nervous. We've taken a fairly similar approach and she does have religion classes, but she has a very overdeveloped imagination.<BR/><BR/>Nanner - Dumbledore is right - seems to be the British perspective on the subject as I recall Peter Pan said something similar.<BR/><BR/>Now you've gone and made me crave clay pot fish. If you come we will get some. (That sounded backwards somehow).<BR/>Zelda | Homepage | 04.19.06 - 8:30 pm | # <BR/><BR/>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<BR/> <BR/> I met an Asian guy at a strip club in Dallas a while back.<BR/>You'd really like him.<BR/>dick | Homepage | 04.20.06 - 2:40 pm | # <BR/><BR/>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<BR/> <BR/> I ate sushi once...<BR/>kidding.<BR/>I hate raw anything.<BR/>Gwennie is an old soul : )<BR/>Brighton | Homepage | 04.20.06 - 5:34 pm | # <BR/><BR/>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<BR/> <BR/>Being from the South, I should be the last to stereotype, but I do it anyway! Evertime you mention Jethro, the Beverly Hillbilly character pops into my mind, overalls and all. How did a Vietnamese guy get a name like that??<BR/><BR/>Does he play a banjo?<BR/><BR/>LOL, take comments above with a smile, I mean no insult, and can't for the life of me figure out why I think the way we do from time to time! <BR/>Tater | 04.21.06 - 4:36 pm | # <BR/><BR/>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<BR/> <BR/> Tater - No, Jethro doesn't play banjo. He aquired that moniker for 2 simple reasons. 1) I happened to be listening to Aqualung when I started my blog. 2) It goes against stereotype. That's my neat trick. I play against stereotype.<BR/>Zelda | Homepage | 04.24.06 - 4:16 pm | # <BR/><BR/>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Zeldahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13057183557031707514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883420.post-1145971625260570852006-04-25T08:27:00.000-05:002006-04-25T08:27:00.000-05:00Oh, but I see what you're saying now.
