Eldest prefers not to come along on errands if at all possible. Even better in his opinion if I take the younger three with me. No competition for the video games then. If I call to let him know we're going to be a bit late getting home from something, he's more than all right with that, thank you Mom. So yesterday, when I left him at home to ( Read more... )

It's peculiarly nice to read funny anecdotes like this from people we've met: it's easy to hear the echo of your voice and laugh while reading this story, and laugh along. Really, though: taunt a 13-year-old with Spidey3? That's just diabolical! ;) Good way to make him think twice before parting company with his loving family next time.

You know, it's funny you say that, Emilie - whenever I read your blog, I absolutely hear your gorgeous accent. You have a mellifluous voice, too.

And yeah, I have to admit I was thinking about his increasing desire NOT to hang with family when I played with his mind. Although he's actually a pretty good sport about it when I make him come along on things.

Best served chilled.... anonymous May 7 2007, 04:45:42 UTC

Sorry, can't help but think of the dinner scene at the beginning of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, where the monkey brains are served chilled, right out of the skull. YUM!

You are a mean, mean mom.

Why thank you, Si. I take that as the highest compliment.

I had the sweetest mother. I don't know what happened. But I sure am enjoying it!

I'd posit that it must skip a generation, but the kids are growing up to be just as wacko as their mom. One of the young women I mentor said to J the other day "J, you're going to grow up to marry some CRAZY woman." To which he immediately replied "Yup, just like my mom."

Smart boy.

Ah, Satan. Race car.

She could probably give me a run for the money. I'll be curious to read her blog in ten years. I think Vinny already is messing with their heads.

Little golden bricks must have awaited your return. If only I could've been a fly on the wall for that one

Sometimes I wish I lived with a webcam attached to my head so I could share with my friend some of the stuff our family comes up with. Dinnertime is the BEST. There is no telling what will come out of their mouths. And I mean that in more ways than one, alas. I'm TRYING with the good manners lessons, I swear it!

Yeah, and not so little, actually, those bricks - he brought it up yesterday and said his heart was beating out of his chest he was so freaked.
