This page is dedicated to a neighbor boy and his friends who make my day one day better as I drive them to school each day. Noah Laney, 9, along with my son, Evan and Kora all make my mornings brighter by their amazingly funny conversations on the drive to school each day. Enjoy the periodic updates on the Chronicles of Noah.
February 18, 2010-There Is No Such Thing As Cat World
Today’s ride was the best so far. Had me laughing the entire time. Kora got it started with talk about black cats. Noah felt like people belittle black cats as evil, then Kora dropped the bomb of the day…I know Noah we can get all the cats in Cat World to vote for you as president. Noah replied, there is NO CAT WORLD…This did not stop Evan and Kora from going on though. Quickly they would rally all the cats in the nation to vote for Noah. We can get house cats, alley cats, and even farm cats, because a cat that lives on a farm is a farm animal of course. To this statement, Noah had had enough. Cats cannot be farm aminals he said…they are simply smug little creatures who are quite bothersome if you ask me. Kora’s reply was priceless…Noah you are a disgrace to Cat World. Noah as he was getting out of the van loudly stated, There is NO CAT WORLD…by the way Mr. Johnson, thanks for the ride…the sage continues!
February 16, 2010-Ant Hill Mob
Chronicles of Noah: Ant Hill Mob. When the kids got in the van this morning the conversation went to playing guitar. Noah said he was working through a book of chords and when he got them all down, he was starting a band…Ant Hill Mob. Why the names…it is so cool he said. I see the picture coming together. Lead guitar of Ant Hill Mob gets famous, then runs for president…it is all coming together.
February 8, 2010-Who Dat
Noah gets in the van this morning the day after the Super Bowl and tells Evan he was for the Saints. His logic was they have never been there before so surely it would be nice if they won. He did mention about all the old fans at his house who were saying “Who Dat”…he said, “frankly I don’t know what that means, but it was fun to say.”
February 2, 2010-Groundhog Day
Groundhog Day…Noah said, “I got an idea…we take the groundhog guy and tell him to put the hog under a shade tree…then he will never see his shadow and no more 6 weeks of winter…cause I hate winter”. Just another day driving to school.
January 28, 2010-I Despise Richard
The drive today started out like any other day until Kora mentioned something about a boy and out it came…”I despise Richard” from young Noah’s mouth. Evan asked who Richard was and how they knew him. “Well…Richard is a boy who is moving into our neighborhood and my sister has this huge crush on him…yuck”, said Noah. It appears Noah is a protective little brother for sure. As they were getting out of the van today he said, “I don’t know much, but I do know…I despise Richard.”
January 21, 2010-The Race is On
It seems the three amigos (Noah, Evan, and Kora) all have this little competition to see who can get outside the fastest. Now in a foot race, I would not predict the outcome, but let’s just say Noah might not be the winner each time. On this fair occasion Noah beat them both to the scared winning spot in Kora’s driveway. Of course each day has it’s excuses on why the losers lost that day. Today the excuses were greeted with a hearty, “face it I won and you lost, let me just be happy that I won, ok?”. You gotta love the diplomatic answer.
November 2009-Mr. President
As we were driving to school this fine day I told Noah that he would make a great President one day. (He already serves on Student Council). His response, “Well…I don’t know about that Mr. Johnson.” Kora preceed to ask what position she could have on his staff. Noah told her that she could handle where he goes and what he would wear each day. Of course, my son, Evan was excited about his future employment in the white house as well. Noah took a difference track with Evan. “Well…Evan I can’t give you a job, but how about you be my friend that comes to the White House for a hot dog now and then?” Evan’s reply…sweeeet!
