Zany
I was driving my kids to school today and I told them that the LA Times called their daddy zany. So I asked them: am I zany?
The response was quick and decisive. A little too quick and a little too decisive :) Summer said, "Uh-huh!" with a big smile. And Parker said an elongated, "Ohhhh yahhhh!"
I just looked up the word zany and I have mixed feelings :)
I don't think I like one who acts like a buffoon or subordinate clown. But I can live with goofball.
I'm just glad the reporter only saw the riverdancing video. Who knows what adjective would have been used if they'd seen Mr. Incredible or Wild Goose Hunter :)
For what it's worth, we take two thing seriously at NCC: God and fun. And if you take those two things seriously you can't take yourself too seriously :)
I'm convinced that the happiest and holiest people on the planet are those who laugh at themselves the most. But some of us have an unfair advantage. There is so much to laugh at :)

The word "zany" is a type of "onomatopoeias" ... Greek for "name-making." A pure onomatopoeia would be something like "buzz" where the word imitates the sound it represents .. but I think strong words like "zany" and "skulk" are also types of onomatopoeias. When I hear the word "skulk" I get a great mental picture of someone .. lurking about in the night ... And when I hear "zany" I think of ... well, you. Ha.
If you're not willing to look zany; you're zany.
It's cool to hear you talk about your kids!
