The Compliment

With Christmas fast approaching, Danny was a bit more congenial.  Overcome by the holiday spirit, he decided to give James a compliment instead his usual affront.  Putting his arm around him, Danny said to James,  " Your butt isn't as smelly as it usually is." Ahh, the season of joy.  (12/10)

The Wonder Pets Flaw

Katie, home sick with a fever, was laying on the couch most of the day. When I heard The Wonder Pets on TV, a show she despises, I knew she must've fallen asleep. As I enter the room, I hear the trademark lyrics "the phone, the phone is ringing..." to where I find James sitting on the couch with a look on his face. He turns to me and says, "No wonder Katie doesn't like this show. It's not even a phone! It's a cheap tin can!" (11/23/11)
