Gremlin: Mom, what’s your job?
Me: My job is being your mom, honey.
Gremlin: Well, that’s not enough.
Me: Why not? That’s hard work sometimes, ya know?
Gremlin: Weeeeell, Jesus said you have to have 3 jobs.
what.
sigh
Me: Ok, so 1) I’m your mom, 2) I help people with computer software and 3) I’m daddy’s wife. How’s that?
Gremlin: Hmmm…well, I guess that will work. But being a wife isn’t hard enough to really count it as a job.
Oh trust me buddy.…it does, it does.

Intro: Hulkman (Bro with Down Syndrome) calls me from time to time at work. It’s an independence thing with him. Usually it’s ok. He’s also calling not as himself, but usually he’s MacGyver or Indiana Jones, etc.
This time I was in a meeting…
Me (semi-whispering): Hello?
Hulkman: “Jenny. Hello. It’s me, Jesus of Nazareth.
Me: “Hulkman, this isn’t a good time. I’m in a meeting.”
Hulkman (loudly): “I’m not Hulkman. I’m Jesus of Nazareth”
*The guy in the meeting start snickering*
Me: “Sigh…Jesus, this isn’t a good time. I’m in a meeting.”
Hulkman: “But I’m Jesus!”
…the phone conversation continues about the same for a few more minutes then I turn to a red-faced, snorting business man.
Me: “Sorry. I had to take that. Jesus is very persistent and would’ve kept calling until I answered. You cannot escape Jesus.”
*Roars of laughter*
I’m sure we’ll get the business on that conversation alone. I mean who doesn’t want a persistent Jesus on their side?!

You are freakin hilarious! I’m crying over hear laughing!
I love it when you blog about Hulkman. I have a friend who has a 4 year old with Down Syndrome. He is such a joy and is so funny .… . Hulkman makes me think of what he’ll be like when he’s older
I, too love it when you blog about Hulkman (crossed out) I mean Jesus. That was so funny I was laughing out loud.
That is so funny! I can just see the look on your face when Jesus called. What a great sister you are!
THANK YOU for writing these down. Oh man… you couldn’t make this stuff up. Seriously!
Oh my gosh!!! I am work ROARING with laughter, and my co-workers think I’m crazy! Good thing I’m on my lunch break!
I can’t even imagine getting a call from Jesus. Awesome! And even better that you were in a meeting.
And seriously, you kid has it ALL WRONG. LOL!
“Sorry. I had to take that. Jesus is very persistent and would’ve kept calling until I answered. You cannot escape Jesus.” LOL, I can’t believe you came up with that so quickly…in fact, I can’t believe the busiensspeople laughed, either!
[…] I’m thrilled we got to celebrate another year with Hulkman. I look forward to many more conversations with him (or Jesus or MacGyver or whoever he decides to be on that day). […]
Absolutely hilarious! I’ll be sharing that one this week…
[…] I’m going to start out with two stories that bloggers shared about adults with Down syndrome. First, this story about a woman and her grown brother. It’s short and quite funny, but first you have to read through a vignette about her […]
