There doesn&#8217;t seem to be enough hours in the day &#8211; and we are quickly out of days. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve. So instead of writing&#8230;I&#8217;m going to try to squeeze a little more time out of the next 24 hours. I&#8217;ll post pics and stories soon, I promise.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime&#8230;here is another very funny re-enactment of Baby Jesus&#8217; birth to enjoy. (In case you missed our re-enactment from Emma earlier in the week, you can read it <a href=\"http:\/\/barelycontrolledchaos.wordpress.com\/2006\/12\/19\/we-must-be-doing-something-kinda-right\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.) I can so totally see Emma doing something like this in about 4 or 5 years.  I&#8217;m not sure if the story is true or not &#8211; I read it on another blog and nobody can get confirmation on the validity, but it is too good to make up!<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>[This story came from a discussion forum in the UK\u2026 \u201cTescos\u201d is a supermarket chain there.]<\/p>\n<p>Went to Abigail\u2019s school Christmas concert. Each class did a little something followed by a song or 2. Anyway, Ab\u2019s class did a Nativity scene, with Ab as Mary. A few minutes into their bit Ab promptly lifted her dress &amp; shoved baby Jesus up it. The script then wandered away from what they\u2019d learnt &amp; goes as follows\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Joseph: \u201cWhat are you doing?\u201d<br \/>\nMary: \u201cI\u2019m feeding our baby\u201d<br \/>\nShepherd: \u201cHave you got a bottle up there then?\u201d<br \/>\nMary: \u201cDon\u2019t be silly he\u2019s having milk from my booby\u201d<br \/>\nJoseph: \u201cThat\u2019s disgusting\u201d<br \/>\nMary: \u201cNo, that baby milk they have in Tescos is disgusting. My baby\u2019s having proper milk\u201d<br \/>\nShepherd: \u201cWhat\u2019s a booby?\u201d<br \/>\nMary: \u201cThose sticky out bits ladies have\u201d<br \/>\nShepherd: \u201cThey\u2019re not boobies, they\u2019re nipples\u201d<br \/>\nMary: \u201cNo they\u2019re not, they\u2019re boobies\u201d<br \/>\nJoseph: \u201cSo why can\u2019t Jesus have milk from a bottle then?\u201d<br \/>\nMary: \u201cBecause I haven\u2019t got a breast pump with me &#8211; you forgot to put it on the donkey\u201d<br \/>\nShepherd: \u201cCan\u2019t you ask the teacher for a bottle to feed Jesus with?\u201d<br \/>\nMary: \u201cNo because this is the best way to feed Jesus. Anyway bottles haven\u2019t been invented yet &amp; even if they were I\u2019ve just had a baby so if you think I\u2019m faffing about round Tescos to buy baby milk when I make proper milk in my boobies you can think again\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I felt a teeny bit sorry for their class teacher &#8211; she did try her best to steer them back towards their proper lines but she was laughing so much she didn\u2019t really stand a chance. The line about Joseph forgetting the breast pump finished her off &#8211; she slid to the floor &amp; couldn\u2019t get up for laughing\u2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Via <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thecowgoddess.com\/?p=505\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"blines3\" title=\"Hathor\">Hathor<\/a><br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Emma is counting down the days and I am furiously trying to get stuff done and feel like I am ready for the &#8220;Big Man in Red&#8221; to be here.
