This is Ten-Year Old as the explorer Jacques Marquette:
This is Teen:
This is Teen teasing his brother:
"Marco Polo was so much cooler than Jacques Marquette."
This is Ten-Year Old's comeback:
"Marco Polo sucks."
This is Teen's reasoning:
"Yeah, well if he sucks, would they have named a game after him?"

Okay, this totally cracked me up.
LOL He has a point there.
I see the logic. Ummm ...
Ha. Funny stuff and a couple of good lookin' kids. Cheers Meg!!
LOL! I'm sure Marco would be very proud that he was named after a pool game. ;)
Kids always get right to the heart of the matter!
Are you sure there isn't a game named after Jacques Marquette?
(your kids are adorable)
I understand his pain...I too was the youngest. It is a hard life. I say just let that comment slide..I am sure he will not end up at a job with his name on his shirt.
Too funny. Gotta love that logic.
Excellent reasoning teen.
I'm going to have to go with Ten-Year Old on this one. Fr. Marquette explored cool places like the Mississippi River and my neck of the woods. Polo was just some Italian guy who hasn't done anything for me lately. So yeah, he's right. Polo sucks. Take that Teen!
This reminds me of those many hours spent playing Marquettes and Ladders in my youth.
Well argued.
Good looking kids Meg! Your 10 year old should take law classes-he's a ringer for modern day Congressional arguements.
If you can't win, just go for the throat, whether its relevant or not.
Its true you know.
By the way my word verification is trush. I think that is some comment on my rear end and I resent it!
I'm impressed that Marco Polo can be used as a bone of contention in your family between siblings...
That says something. :)
Your kids are cute and sassy like you!
Thanks for the suggestion re: votes. I feel honored to call you a friend and knowing your awesome materian and also seeing that you are deeply adored from the HB community, your comment means a lot.
Marco?
