Roberito

Californians -- especially Southern Californians -- are typically pop culture snobs. Most trends start here, and if they don't, we tend to look down our noses at them. Food, music, fashion, even weather patterns. If it was birthed in SoCal, we love it; if it originated elsewhere (especially Florida) we roll our collective eyes, and make snide remarks.

So no one could really be surprised when Robbie saw someone wearing Crocs, and said, "Look Mom...tourist shoes."

Yep. We can spot 'em a mile away.

All time favorite Cam-O-Rama story

Cam was about 3 1/2 when he decided to become a sailor. Specifically, he began swearing, using "damn" in his daily conversations.

The boys had spent the weekend with Robert, their dad. When Robert brought them home, he alerted Sarah to the problem, telling her how he had been handling it. "When Cameron says 'damn'," he told her, "we have been putting Tabasco on his tongue." Sarah assured Robert that she, too, would be proactive in dealing with this very unacceptable behavior. After all, what if Pastor Tom dropped by? We wouldn't want little C-Monkey swearing up a storm, would we?

After dad left, Sarah called little Cam in. "Cameron," sez she, "have you been using no-no words at Daddy's house?"

"Yes, Mom. Yes, I have."

"And what does Daddy do when you use the no-no words?"

"He puts that damn Tabasco on my tongue."

How do you respond to that without having milk come out your nose?

Hey, there!

This blog will be a compendium of the interesting and unusal things Robbie and Cameron do or say. If you've read either Sarah or Sue's facebook, you are familiar with the wacky stuff that comes from these two awesome boys. Enjoy!
