Being a good Jewish boy, J-man is obsessed with ham and Jesus.

He was asking today about "the King of the Jews", while we drove home from his daycare. I told him that Christians believe he is like God. He asked me:

"...but does God believe God is God?"

"What a great question!", I praised him, but I had no meaningful response other than that. I looked at his face in the rear view mirror. He seemed proud to stump me.

We call the penis, "winky" in our house. I know, it's juvenille, isn't it? "Penis" is such an ugly word.

Tonight, after we had put J-man to bed, I went into my room, which is next to J-man's and dropped something on the floor.

Jesse opened his door and came in our room and said:

"I was hitting my winky and I heard something fall!"

Courtney asked:

"Why were you hitting your winky?"

I've been at Zivtech's 2-day Drupal module development. The first day, I picked up a few great tips, such as modules and techniques. Here's what I got out of the second day:

General

Journal Module

You can use it to track changes for Drupal configuration

How to Make Patches

Didn't know how patches were made in Unix. They are really just output from diff. Duh.

I attended Zivtech's Drupal Module Development two-day training class, May 27, and 28th in NYC.

I'm glad that I had been developing Drupal module development at work for a few months previous to this class, or I would have been quite lost.

Of course, as I expected, I am picking up a few things.

Today at Synagogue, during Shabbat morning prayers, J-man and I were sitting near the back, and I was reading him the Shema.

I was explaining to him what it meant, teaching him that we have one god. On the Bima (the area in front of the synagogue where the Torah is housed) sat the Rabbi, the Cantor, the president of the synagogue, all of whom J-man knows personally.

You may remember this post about why PHP kind of sucks.
I came across another example of its illogical and inconsistent API.

$colors = [ 'blue', 'green' ];

array_push( $colors, 'red' ); // adds red to array

in_array( 'red', $colors ); // returns TRUE

Someone please explain why in array_push() the array comes first, but in in_array() the array comes last?

J-man mentioned at dinner tonight that his friend from school's mommy is a:

"Mommy and a doctor"

Courtney tried to elicit from him if Courtney was anything besides a mommy by asking:

"What am I?"

He retorted:

"You are nothing but a Mommy."

Thankless work indeed.

J-man's Aunt Alexis, is an artist. We were talking about family relationships, and I reminded him that Alexis is his mother's sister. He countered:

"Alexis is not Mommy's sister! She's an artist."

Because he can't have non-kosher meat (I can only assume), J-man is obsessed with it.

This morning at breakfast he asked:

"When I'm not Jewish anymore, can I eat ham?"
