So instead of going to a couple of events, birthday parties and the BLSA banquet, after a very long day at work (mind you I don't usually go in on Fridays), I chose to stay home and spend some quality time with my godson and my goddaughter, who I love dearly and treat as the kids I probably will never have... My godchildren are very precocious and like their, aunt have their opinions about the things that are going on around them...

So I cooked some curry chicken and channa and alloo with roti (that was for your benefit Ms. HILA) and we had some sweet potato pie for dessert with butter pecan ice cream,(sooo in violation of my claorie counting diet), anyway I digress, we sat down to play a very loud and boisterous game of monopoly. After playing for about 15-20 mins. my godson had landed on the just visiting part on the jail spot on the board and then said on his next turn, "See ya later Kwame Kilpatrick, I was just visiting!'. LMAO Needless to say I was on the floor with tears in my eyes, then he landed on the chance spot and got the card, 'go to jail, go directly to jail...', he then says to me and his sister, 'Oh no I can't be like Kwame Kilpatrick here is my $50, I need to get out of jail fast'. LOL Hilarious! For anyone who has heard about and is aware of the details surrounding the scandal that the Mayor of Detroit is in... you can understand the hilarity of the situation.

We as adults, nurturers, caregivers, leaders etc, have a responsibility to teach our young ones. They are watching and observing everything that we do and we need to pay close attention to what example we are leaving with our kids. They understand a whole lot more than we give them credit for, especially the things that they are exposed to in the media. My godson is only ten and he understood the details and being the jokester that he is felt the need to poke fun, even when he was stealing money from the monopoly bank.

I don't have to go out every night to have fun and a few laughs, nope I sure don't, I can spend quality time with a couple of smart kids and have a great time!!
