What do you get when you cross an imp with Frank Sinatra?
The answer is Sammy.
This day was spent with Sammy, who as a two year old when asked by our uncle steve if he wanted to catch the ball-- Sammy gave Uncle a condescending look, put his hands in his pockets, turned on his heel, and walked away.
The condescending look is still there, along with sarcastic comments, now that he is the ripe old age of seven. I try not to laugh when he asks "Can you say anything else besides 'mmmm-hmmm" or "You're weird, I'm outta here, bye." His wit has grown, what used to be "I hate you, I'm going to kill you." is now some more subtly implied beating scenario. Of course I can't remember everything he said today, though I wish I could.
What are we going to do with this kid? His baby brother, 2 now and my Godson, has to have the Rosary and Pieta prayer book ripped from his hands, gives kisses to pictures of Jesus and Mary, and is coincidentally named John-Paul. (So adorable, really Irish and Lebanese should mix more often.) There really is no one like Sammy (or John-Paul). I love them so much.
