An amusing little sidenote

I just thought of an amusing little thing that happened last night. At least I was amused by it. It was Stacey's birthday so we were having dinner and Tess and Kevin came out. Tess's mom was in town visiting so she came too. When they arrived Tess introduced her Mom to Ryan. She said, "This is my Mom, Julia" Well Ryan's eyes got big and he got excited. I am thinking no one but me caught this - but he ran over to me and said "Mom, does she know Taylor." Maybe just because I am his mom( remember moms know EVERYTHING -just ask my kids they will roll their eyes and confess its true) but I immediately knew what was going on in Ryans little mind. The Taylor he was referring to was not our brother Taylor, but Ryan's hero Taylor Swift. (He likes her "as big as Jesus" he confessed much to my dismay) One of his favorite songs he referrs to as the Julia song. It is Love Story for those of you familiar with her music. The song is about Romeo and Juliet - it sounded like Julia to Ryan so it became know at our house as the Julia song. Well Ryans little mind hit on this and he was sure somehow Tess's mom was connected to Taylor Swift and boy was he thrilled to meet someone who he believed must know Taylor. I have to admit I am a bit worried - 5 seems to young to have a crush on a star. Rick thinks its natural - I am guessing this is just one more way Ryan is taking after his Dad.
