So as usual... another funny conversation.
Today I dropped off one of my girls after picking her up from school to hang out. I stopped and talked to her sisters (who are also two of my girls) for a bit. One of them was telling me about a cockroach she saw at school... this is how the conversation went:
Katy: "Today, there was a cockroach at school on the bathroom wall and its little antlers were going like this (motions with hands above head)"
Me: "Katy, cockroaches dont have antlers, they have antennas... only Deer and Meese have antlers."
Katy: "Meese? What is a Meese?"
Me: "You know... like a group of Mooses."
Katy: "They aren't called Meese"
Me: "Then what are they called?"
Katy: "Moose."
Me: "No, that's one. You call a group Meese... ya know, like you call a group of Gooses 'Geese'... a group of Mooses is Meese."
Katy: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Me: "You don't say, 'hey look over there, I see some MOOSE'... you say 'I see some MEESE!'"
The conversation went on like this for a few minutes and then we got the other two girls involved and they both agreed that you do not call several Mooses "Meese". I admit that when you say it out loud it does sound quite funny.
But THEN... Katy went and looked it up online... and sure enough, listed as a plural is MEESE!!! Take THAT! :)
Welcome to my Blog!
I'm a youth pastor in Southern California at a Nazarene church. I've been serving here for about 4 years. We have a large youth group of around 100 teens from all different cultures and backgrounds.
We merged with a Spanish church in January of 07 and our youth groups are now ONE! As of a little more than a year ago, I am working with a co-youth pastor named Javier. If you want to know more about me, you can read my very first blog post here.
I started this blog as a way to remember the amazing things that happen in my everyday life in ministry... the hilarious things that my teens say and do, the joys and victories, and the life stories of the amazing teenagers that are the future of our church, and our world. But I am also glad when it brings encouragement and joy to others. Feel free to leave your comments and let me know you're reading!
I am so blessed to be here, I love my teens... they are my heart!
And by the way...
at our church...
we speak 5 languages!!!
English, Spanish, Korean, Chinese and Gypsy! :)
Music We Love!
