The conversation went like this …

Setting:

Driving Eric [14, 8th grader] to school for his early morning class that starts at 7am. It’s 6:50am … no conversation in the car, no music … both of lost in thought. I pull up at a stop sign. There is a white pick-up truck in front of us with a HUGE bumper sticker ~ in rainbow lettering ~ GOD is LOVE!

And, the conversation went like this …

[me – deadpan voice] God is love.

(pause)

[eric – deadpan voice] I God you mom.

(we both start roaring out laughing….. It slowly dwindles down … the light changes … we start going … the truck is still in front of us)

[me] I God you too Eric.

(another set of laughing…dwindles down to a quiet pause)

[eric] I feel so God’ed.

(again another burst of roaring laughter. I’m laughing so hard, I’ve got tears in my eyes …)

[me] I’m trying to drive here!

(laughing becomes chuckles … then slowly back into our shared silence … I’m at the school, dropping him off)

[me] God ya Eric!

[eric] God ya back, mom!

(He turns his back, chuckling … I drive away chuckling)

……


I don’t teach him this stuff, it comes out of him, all on his own.
I sure do enjoy it, though.

Hope the fun of it all comes through ... because that's what I want to pass along anyway.

God Ya!

God = love
love = god
i = you

6:50 a.m. is the best time for large trucks

the most wonderful aspect of this story is the sharing -
from your shared silence arise these hilariously exquisite pokerfacelovegodchuckles, and no further explanation is needed.
you both got it.

you both god it.
and i god it, too!
