First of all, I am so beyond grateful and lucky that my son talks to me on the phone all of the time because he no longer lives in this house because me and my Mom are in a bubble and he went out into the world of the working. Today, he thanked me for his good eating habits. He told me that it is because of me that he eats so healthy. He mentioned spinach and I laughed and reminded him that in our second apartment, he would lay on the floor watching TV and I would put a bowl of raw spinach on the floor next to him to snack on.
I also remember a guy I used to know commenting on the fact that Sean was sitting at the table and eating peas with his fingers. He looked at him almost incredulously and said that Sean was eating the peas, “Like they are good!” I also laughed at that statement because I told him that they were good for Sean.
A random thing that I did not remember until he reminded me of it also made me laugh. He told me that he listens to XM radio all of the time when he is driving cars at Les Stanford. I bought myself an XM radio subscription for my car as a graduation present when I finished grad school and received the last overage check for my tuition. That purchase has proven to be sound because I have it for the life of my car and my car is currently eight years old.
He reminded me of some thing a DJ had said while we were on our way to Target on the hill. He told me that he’s been listening to this song a lot and that I liked it because I used to listen to it a lot. The DJ said, before it played that the original band name was, “Rainbow Bitt Monkeys.” He reminded me that he said that name and laughed about 20 times here for I told him that it was not THAT funny! He laughed well telling me the story because he said, “To say that name in front of an 11-year-old boy, how could it not be hilarious?!”
Well, I had almost forgotten the story and I thought it was pretty hilarious! The band name is Finger Eleven and here is the song but when Sean recounted the story to me, I remembered that and I laughed!:
