Comments on: Caught on tape chez mothergoosemouse http://mothergoosemouse.com/2007/02/03/caught-on-tape-chez-mothergoosemouse/ A first-grader destined for a career as a lawyer, a pre-schooler whose screams can shatter glass, a bouncing baby boy who evaded an IUD, a man who can drink his weight in Natty Light, and a woman who has long since given up caring about the condition of her kitchen floor.

I borrowed the phrase from a line in the movie - revenge against the bad guys was a "moral imperative." I thought it'd be hilarious if Tacy enunciated that perfectly so I taught our little prodigy around age 3. She's been saying it ever since in the proper context. And when, on the extremely rare occassions that I've said "no" to her for something, she'll pull out this ace in the hole and I'll acquiesce. ..... in case anyone wondered how this all came about.

Yeah, I'm on the bandwagon with this one. Does she um... enjoy stories about let's sayyyy Joan of Arc and Dr. King? A little Lech Walesa maybe? Do her drawings look more like protest placards than horses or rainbows or that sort of thing? The more I read about Tacy, the more I think I'm going to be reading about Tacy. “It’s a moral imperative.” Yeah, I’m on the bandwagon with this one.

I'm impressed. :) Can I tell one? Back during Christmas, the song "Go Tell It On A Mountain (That Jesus Christ Was Born" came on and I overheard my husband ask my 4-year-old son, "Do you know who Jesus is?" My son, very matter-of-fact, replies, "Yes, Daddy, it's a bad word and I'm not allowed to say it." We're such heathens. Moral imperative? I’m impressed. :) Can I tell one?
