One more thing that I forgot to Journal about my boys...
I made a "Headline poster" about 10 years back (before we were married) for H when I was at Dreamworld in the Gold Coast. The headline was "Cindy Crawford Bares All for [my H's name]" and there was a short article that says that Cindy fell in love with H and all.
About a month back, the boys found the poster and queried me till no end as to why is this woman in love with their father. I explained that its just for fun. She is a very famous woman, and she absolutely will not fall in love with your father. It's part of a joke. The boys piped up "why do you want to do it? What's so funny?" and S8 was rather upset by it and wanted to "deface" Cindy. I stopped him and told him that he shouldn't!! And guess what I found under my bed yesterday??? You guessed it! The poster with CINDY all DEFACED. The face, the body everywhere!!! She's got beard, moustache, eye bags, ugly boobs etc etc. Can you imagine what will happen if they find out that their father is in love with ow?? Anyway, I sort of asked why he did it..and S8:I just don't like anybody to love my father. Me: But that is all fake, but what IF it's real? S8: I will kill her... Me: And then go to jail? S8: (pondered) I will talk to her and convince her then. Me: How are you gonna convince her? S8: I don't know. I got to think.
*sigh* Soooo wise yet so innocent.
Me: This is all pretend talk okay, guys? Don't think too much about it S8: Yeah, it's pretend, but I still have to plan and think to know what to do when it happens. Me: Guys...there are tooooo many things in this world. If you have to plan and think for everything, your brain will be too stuffed and you will be very stressed. So, just forget about it and only think what to do when it happens okay. S8: Okay. Me: And remember...this is all pretend okay? The poster is just for fun. Okay? S8: Okay.
