Nope, this is not a commentary about a James Taylor song. This is a warning. And a request for understanding and the feigning of deafness.
IF you should hear the RGs yell out, "Sweet baby Jesus!" sometime in the near future, please please do not:
Just ignore. Or if you must say something, maybe start singing "Away In A Manger" or "What Child Is This".
Let me explain. The RGs have this little nativity scene (courtesy of the McGrandparents). It's so darling. Each piece is a finger puppet, but can also stand alone. So, Roo walks around with her finger stuck inside the manger holding the baby Jesus.
And she keeps chewing on Him!
In response, I remind her that it is not for her mouth. I say, "We don't put the sweet baby Jesus in our mouths." Or, "Sweet baby Jesus is not a chew toy, Roo, take Him out of your mouth."
Apparently the only part of those sentences that has stuck is "sweet baby Jesus."
Oh. Lord.

Also, the Virgin Mary is MIA. She's been located at the McGrands house inside a toy train tunnel. With her twin (the Mary to cousin Jonah's nativity set). So, now we add to our list of fail, two kidnapped Mary's lined up on the railroad tracks in a train tunnel.

a) judge
b) say, "WHAT did you say?" (thus causing them to repeat it)
c) spit-take
d) laugh
