Laughing My Ass Off
We welcomed the Holy Mother Mary and the Santo Nino into our home today. This week our Block Rosary week, which pretty much means that we have to pray in front of the two statues every night. It's a yearly thing.
Throughout the welcoming blessing all I could think of as I stared into the Santo Nino's eyes was Rex Navarette and his comic set about the blessed figure. Growing up as a Filipino kid in California, he and his friends played with G.I. Joes and He-man action figures, toys that were primarily white or black guys in cool outfits with Karate Chop Arm Action©. Rex had no toy that represented his nationality, so he took the Santo Nino. The Santo Nino's cape enabled him to fly, the cane he held one hand was a sword while the other hand held a bomb!
I was laughing my ass of as I prayed. Yes, I am so going to hell. Damn you REX!
After that, I saw something interesting at Chapters. "How to Make a Baby." That's a great subtitle. It's so good, I can't even remember the name of the book. I was laughing all the way to the cash and out the door. Katherine, the cashier, must've thought I was nuts. I should have asked her to read the book with me.
