things j.h.r.s. said: he's ready for prime time

WATCH OUT KILLER KOWALSKI
On the way home from school: "I look very handsome, but I'm really very tough."

HUH. YOU ARE TOUGH.
While 'hammering' a plastic screw into his leg, wearing his super-suit, with scabby red knees, dirty feet, and a black eye: "It'll be even worse knee surgery in I take this bolt off."

INVENTIONS, #36/44/99
After hearing about air bags: "That's one way of doing it. But some people take a big piece of cardboard and put it over the whole car so if there's an accident they won't go flying out the window. First you need pressure. It needs to be a pretty big car crash. It's up on your roof so it will splat down."

UH, WELL, YES...I GUESS YOU WERE
The other day on the way to James' house Phet and I had a smallish argument. I got confused about which stop we were going to on the subway, but then thought Phet was saying something he wasn't really saying, and then I got all hoity toity about being right (sooo unlike me), and then I tried to explain firmly to Phet why he was wrong and I was right, and he tried gently (ha) to explain to me why I was wrong and he was right, and in the middle of it all, Ji was grabbing my chin, and forcing me to look at him so he could get in his two cents worth, and when I told him to be quiet and let me speak to his Pa, he said "I'm part of the con- con- consummation too!"

WHAT IS IN OUR WATER SUPPLY??
While looking outside the apartment windows with his binoculars: "Look at all those god monsters in hell."

SO, WHAT DOES THAT MAKE GRAMPA?
Me: "Were there any other people out swimming?"
Ji: "Yes."
Me: "How old were they?"
Ji: "They were middle aged."
Me: "Oh yeah?"
Ji: "Yeah, they were almost 4."

WHY WE WILL NO LONGER WATCH OUR DOWNLOADED COPIES OF THE BRITNEY SPEARS REALITY SHOW WITH JI
Because this is what he said right after the show: "Sex is only for ladies because ladies only mostly have sex." I asked Ji to clarify what he meant by 'sex' (On the show Britney mentioned her joy at having had sex with Kevin three times in one day). He said, "You know, sex is sexy!! I don't know because boys don't have sexy." We talked a bit about what 'sexy' means and I said that I guessed it meant showing off a part of your body at a time or in a place where you wouldn't usually show it off, and Ji said, "Yah, you're seeing her boobs, right. And some people wouldn't wear anything at all when they're being sexy." Bad parents! He will forever assciate Britney with sex! Nooooooooo! [Ji Hong-20-June-2005]
