The Human Fund

We received a mysterious envelope in the mail on Saturday. The return address said simply, "The Human Fund" (anyone who recognizes this from Seinfeld, I have no idea if that is what inspired this letter or not). Curious, we opened it to find an American Express gift card. We have no idea who or where this card came from--the postmark was in St. Paul, MN, and I'm pretty sure I don't know anyone in that area--but it came at a time when it was sorely needed. Thank you, The Human Fund. We are very grateful. What a great way to kick off the Christmas season.

Famous quotes by Joshua

"Mister Micah Zicah Wicah!"

"Playing footsies with mommy, oh yeah!" (ask us if you want the context here)

"Here, Mommy, let me help you get up, because you don't know how to get up with a baby in your tummy."

Joshua: "Mommy, I love you."
Mommy: "I love you, too, son."
Joshua: "ANGRY BIRDS!!!!"

(After falling off a swing at the park, he starts whimpering)
Mommy: "Come here, Joshua, and tell me the story."
Joshua: *climbs up on my lap, then sniffles* "Um, once upon a time, I was on the swing..."

"I gotta tell ya somethin'."

"I'm doing the I love you sign! I'm still doing it! I'm still doing it!" (which he shouts as we exit his room at bedtime)

Mommy: "Is London (girl at daycare) your girlfriend?"
Joshua: "Yes, and Nicky (boy at daycare) is my boyfriend."

Mommy: "Do you know who is coming over tomorrow?"
Joshua: "Yes, I do!"
Mommy: "Who?"
Joshua: "What?"
Mommy: "You just said you know who is coming over. Who is it?"
Joshua: "I don't know."

Mommy: "It's a party!" (because my sister and brother-in-law were in the car with us when I picked Joshua up from daycare)
Joshua: (looking out the window) "Aww, I missed it!"

"Mommy, the sun is coming up to say hello to me!"

Grandma says: "I love you, Joshua." Joshua responds: "No, you don't! Mommy and Daddy love me!"

"Mommy, can my pet watch TV?" (referring to a large smiley-faced metallic balloon)

Grandma says: "Talk about your mixed metaphors!" Joshua says: "Not my mixed bananaphores!"

"Daddy, can I give you a hug and a kiss?"

"Mommy, you're so fart (smart)."

"I want to play with my frains (trains)."

"Say saw on Moldy Feet." (Mulberry Street)
