Circus Worship
We were driving over to my parents house this afternoon to eat some barbecue and relax. As we rounded a corner, my son piped up from the back of the van in his loud, Elmer Fudd-sounding accent: "Mommy! Wook! A chooch!" On our right, we passed one of the many local churches and headed out into cow country.
"Uh, yeah," I said as I finished the turn and accelerated down the deserted country road.
"What do they DO in that chooch?" my son asked. Trying to head off a big question and answer session, I tried to summarize as best as I could.
"Well, they sing, and pray, and learn about God and the bible."
My daughter piped up from her seat in the middle of the van. "And they worship Jesus!"
My son burst out from the backseat "I WOVE JESUS!"
I sort-of choked on a laugh at this rather unexpected outburst. "Oh, really? That's great, honey!"
He continued: "I love cheddar, and mozzarella, and parmesean..."
Oh...CHEESES.

Very funny! You'll have to make sure people don't think he's swearing in the Dairy section on your next shopping trip.
Lots of cheese-heads in our family,

Ha ha ha! I did that once!
I was attending Jewish synagogue with a friend of mine, as part of an assignment in college. I was kind of nervous and inclined to agree to whatever and already feeling pretty dorkly because I'd almost put on a yarmulke, not realizing that ladies don't wear yarmulkes.
So when my friend turned to me and said, "Don't worry, it's all good. Just... we aren't much into cheeses."
I bobbed my head and said, "Oh, that's no problem, I'm not all that into cheeses either," thinking, "Hmm, I knew about the 'no pork' thing, and the 'no seafood' thing, but I didn't know about a cheese thing - good grief, how can I know this little about Judaism?!"
My friend, spared my weird little mental freakout, continued: "It's not that we have anything against him - we still think of Jesus as a prophet, but we don't worship him as the messiah."
Ooooohhhhh. JESUS!!! Right.

To the tune of Jesus Loves Me
Cheeses love me, this I know
Even though my farts sound so
Loud and heavy after pizza.
Must be the meat, the cheese ain't the reason.
Yes, cheeses love me
Yes, cheeses love me
Yes, cheeses love me
The Cheddar tells me so.
I learned that volunteering in a middle school youth group. I'm going to have that stuck in my head all day today.

I wholeheartedly agree with both the loving cheese and how he will love this story as a teen. We have one about sex that my son JUST LOVES now - LMAO

I, too, worship cheeses. Too bad my thighs attend both services.
