Shit MY Paw Says...

There is a guy who started this craze with a post called Shit My Dad Says. I have to admit some of the stuff on there is funny and I can definitely relate. It's mind blowing some of the things that comes out of our parents mouths. I wonder where do they get their thoughts from. Many of my posts stem from conversations I've had with my father that leaves me in aww. And I don't know if it's the aww in a good way all of the time either. Yet again J.O. Smooth hasn't disappointed me. I was visiting home taking care of some "bitness" and naturally when I go down there he is my road dog. So we were in the car talking about ALL sorts of shit. We laugh and talk about people, we laugh and talk about problems, we laugh and talk about ourselves. We have a great relationship, best friends too.

The conversation went like this:

Me: Yeah we went over there by Reese and her new lil Boo was over there. He's a nice guy, seem to be real cool people. I like him. I hope he is real good to her and I hope he sticks around.

J.O: Oh Yeah? He's a cool lil dude?

Me: Yep! And guess what his name is?

Now let me pause right here for a second. When someone ask you to guess something, most people we would guess the answer is in vicinity of something familiar. My thinking would be to say a name of person I knew or someone close to me with the same name. So I was expecting him to say maybe....I don't know...J.O.?

This is where I sigh. Conversation resumes:

Me: Yep! And guess what his name is?

J.O. blurts out: NICODEMUS!

And I mean it came out of his mouth so fast, like it took him no thought...like he had Touretts or something! WTF! Huh? How did he come up with Nicodemus? I'm curious...I had to ask. "J.O. do you know someone whose name is Nicodemus that roams this earth?...I'm not talking about that fellow in the Bible, I mean a living person...do you know a Nicodemus?" Of course he says Nope! I just kept saying it to myself over and over again. Nicodemus. Nicodemus dude. Really? Nicodemus? Nick-O-deeeeem-us. Nicodemus.
