Yes, all you NFP people can read this post!!!!

Last night The Tort wanted me to read him a story out of his "red" bible story book.  We have a red one and a white one.  The red one came with a cd that Tina has been allowing him to listen to while "resting" at nap time. 

When he went to get the story book he sat on the futon and was searching through the pages.  He said "Daddy, I want you to read me the story about the 'rubbers.'" Not quite sure what he meant I took the book and him into the living room where there was more light. (Note to future guests, the light in our guest/play room has replaced the light in our bed room which was used to replace the light in the living room which decided to break in half.) So, we went to the living room and I started flipping through the pages. 

Again he says "I want the story about the rubbers."  I begin to figure out what he is asking for and I ask, "You mean the story about the robbers?"

"No, the story about the rubbers."  I flip to the Good Samaritan story and he says, "Yeah that one.  The one about the rubbers."  I of course reply, "No, this is about Robbers." He says, "No Daddy, it is about rubbers." Okay, I am a little confused.  I don't recall contraceptives being a part of the story and since he hasn't been to his Catholic Aunt's for 2 weeks yet, I was quite sure she hasn't taught him that the Jew was beat up because the Robbers where Catholic and the Jew used contraceptives. 

So, I asked him, "Where did you hear them called Rubbers?"  He said, "The man on the CD."  

It clicked!

The book is an Usborne book.  It is written and published in the UK.  Therefore, when the record the cd they use a UKainian, or sometimes they are called Brits, or the British, or people from Great Britian.  That is why they are "Rubbers." The Jew was beat up by a band of "rubbers."  Not a "rubber" band mind you, that would just be silly.

So, after I learned that I attempted to read the story in a British accent which I determined was probably more Irish then British and probably not that Irish anyway.  But, I called them rubbers and that is all he cared about.
