My favorite book has always been Daniel and my favorite story is the one about the Warrior Ehud…he was the left handed warrior that stabbed King Eglon in the stomach and his fat swallowed the sword. (Judges 3) – I am left handed and I’ve got to support my left handed brothers! :mrgreen:

Conversations with a 5 Year Old

…about the rusty water from the toilet pipe. Straight from a 5 year old’s mind and heart to his lips. Just keeping it real, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Sometimes you get the sweet like HERE and then you get the…

Gavin: “Daddy!!”

Me: “What Gavin?”

Gavin: “There’s brown water behind the toilet!”

Me: “I know, I’ve got to clean it up and see where it is coming from, I think a pipe is rusted or something.”

Gavin: “Well I think I may know what it is!”

Me: “What do you think it is?”

Gavin: “Well, sometimes, the poopy logs are bigger than the pipe hole, so that could be what is causing it to leak out the brown water!”

Me: (Trying my best to hold back laughter) “Oh! Did you tell your mom your idea about what could be causing the brown water on the floor?” “Give me five for being so smart and go tell her!”

This is the first time I have ever posted “Conversations with a 5 Year Old” so close together, but when Gavin and I had this conversation I could not resist in sharing.

Pet Peeve

I have a serious pet peeve and its not that Instanbul will not let you use your laptop while in the bathroom.

Its that so many people do not wash their hands when leaving the restroom. I was in the mall not too long ago and a man finished doing his business in one of the stalls, I was at one of the 4 sinks washing my hands when he walked out without washing his. As I walked out of the restroom the guy was several feet in front of me and happened to be walking in the same direction I was headed to meet back up with my wife, the next thing I know he walks up to his girlfriend and wrapped his arms around her. So I stopped. He was probably a high school age guy, so he was doing what a lot of teenage guys do best, feeling up his girlfriend in public. I kind of laughed to myself, I seriously wanted to walk over and ask the girl if she knew where her boyfriends hands had just been before he decided to come share the love.

A recent study claims that 90% of women wash their hands when leaving the restroom and only 75% of men wash their hands. I don’t know where they came up with their data but I would have to disagree based on personal observation of all them men who do their business and walk right out the door!
