"WWJD"

A few months ago, Brent and I and 4 other couples spent a weekend in St. George. While the boys golfed, us girls went out for pedicures. We were all in one room where our 'technicians' were chit-chatting about their dating lives. One of the girls was bargaining with her friend why she needed her 'male' friends phone number more than another girl did and ended her argument saying "WWJD"! We all asked what that meant. She giggled and said "what would Jesus do". Never thought of using that in a proposition for a boys phone number! We all laughed out loud! So when I asked my son the other day why he gave his extra drink box away to a boy who didn't have one he said "because thats what Jesus would do"! I was pretty impressed that my 6 year old is getting the "WWJD" factor. Of course he expressed it another way one day when I told him on the way to McDonald's to stop yelling at his sister or I wouldn't buy him a treat. (And to lighten the air of my threat) I added that he needed to also say "Mom! Mom! She's the bomb!" After saying No, he was too embarrassed, I asked him why because we were the only ones in the car! And he said "Mom, because Jesus is watching!" (I tried to argue that Jesus likes when he says "mom, mom, she's the bomb!" but he didn't fall for that.) So I tried chanting "Kai, Kai, he's so fly!" He cringed and groaned with grief! (I refused to let him out of the car until he played my game!) So he finally succumbed with "Mom, Mom, she's a granade!" Hey, I'll take what I can get!
