Ever since I moved to Tokyo I've been looking for bloggable moments. I've even got the kids trained. They will say something funny and I'll laugh...laugh...laugh. One of them will ask me, "Is this going in the blog?" They used to ask me, "Are you going to talk about this on the radio?" Now it's the blogs that worry them.
Like the other day I was telling Jean-Luc that he will have to shave soon. He's getting some fur on his upper lip. My little boy is becoming a man. Look out world! I don't know how old most guys are when they start shaving. I was oblivious to the fact that my brothers shaved when I was growing up. I had my own problems to deal with. Boys. Pimples. My period. All that fun stuff. So guy shaving wasn't even on my radar. But I know that at age 14, Jean-Luc will have to start shaving soon.
When I told him that he'd be shaving, Jean-Luc was adamant that he will NOT be shaving his lip. I told him that he would too be shaving. We went back and forth - "Will not." "Will too." "Will not." "Will too." (We're really mature around my house.) Until finally I called him a name. I said, "Listen here Paco McHairy Lip, you WILL too be shaving."
D'Ette liked my Spanish name for Jean-Luc, but she did me one better. She said, "We can call him Jalapeno!"
Before she could even ask I told her, "Yes. It's going in the blog."
