ONO-OHNO, A NO-NO



So what if Yoko Ono married Apollo Ohno and didn't use discretion. Which resulted in an ONO-OHNO NO-NO? I know, that's bad.



But friends of ours had their three-year old commit a no-no that I wanted to share.

Their three-year old grandson is quite literate. Now, that's not right; he really can't read,but he loves words. At a young age (he's 3 and I'm saying at a young age), well I don't know when, but he didn't just call a bird a bird. He'd identify it as a cardinal or blue jay.

That's just one example.

It seems that on a recent Saturday at a mall, he observed frat boys stocking up on alcohol for the weekend. He heard them talking about loading the vodka in the back of the SUV.

The next morning in his Sunday School class, they are working on a project of some kind where food is being planned and discussed for a mythical family.

"Now what should we have for them to drink? " the teacher asked.

After a moment's silence, he blurts out, "Vodka."

When his parents later heard his response, their embarrassed reaction was, "Were did he get that? We don't drink vodka."

"Sure," the others thought but said nothing.

When it dawned on his mother where he got the idea, it was too late. For excuses or believability. So they wrote it off to an inquisitive, creative, clever son.

But the no-no or ah-no-no lives on in the minds of church goers. Come to think of it, it did no good for Apollo to object either when he was disqualified.

Some no-nos and some Yokos are better just to be left alone.
