Jacobism #2: Venting...Creatively.

Age: Jacob 5

Setting: In the car...in line at the school to pick Jacob up from kindergarten...was just told by his teacher that he "did NOT have a very good day today and he called another child on the playground a...a...a NAME!"...Jacob gets in the car.
Moods:
Me...Angry and disappointed Jacob: Scared. Because I'm angry and disappointed.
Mom: "Jacob! What HAPPENED? It's not like you to call someone a name!!!"
Jacob: "Mom... SHE took the ball away from me!"
Mom: (inside voice..."Oh lord! It was a girl? Not....good!") "Jacob! That's no reason to call names!! We NEVER call names! You know that!"
Nothing...
Mom: (not WANTING to know...but...) "What did you call her...?" *gulp*
JACOBISM: (quietly...slowly) "A Freaky Little Critter..."
Moods:
Me: Surprised, satisfied and peeing my pants. Jacob: Scared. Because I'm surprised, satisfied and laughing out loud.
