I have a few minutes before I have to wake Em up to go read to Caleb's class...just thought I'd write this down because I thought it was cute and funny. Yesterday, I took the kids to Toys 'R' Us to to use some of their Christmas gift cards.. and Caleb and I were playing with this bouncy sky ball that doubled as a magic 8 ball. (you know, with that triangle thingy that gives answers). Well, I explained it to Caleb and told him to ask it a question. (Sorry dad, I know you never let us play with "magic" 8 balls growing up in the 80s.) Well, he was taking forever to think of a question, so I gave him an example - like "will I become an NBA player when I grown up?". But another minute went by and with such determination and a little shake, Caleb asks, "When I'm 17 will I have doodoo balls?" Now, to clarify what these are: They're little tiny dreads in black men's hair. balls. One of the high school basketball players that Leon coached told Caleb his hair was long enough for "doodoo balls" but Caleb's daddy said absolutely not - not until your 17!. This was like 6 months ago..and he's still thinking about it?! Crazy kid. Gotta love him.
