Tbt kids tales!

I haven't done one of these in a while! 

Once upon a time, my nephew thought he'd be tough. He was about 7 at the time. He and another kid exchanged words at the playground. My nephew, thought he'd be cool and say, "come at me, bro." 

Well the kid did. Came at him with a swift kick to the nuts. 

Moral of the story- don't let your mouth write a check that your ass can't cash. 

Tbt- parents should have left me to the wolves

I think I may have mentioned once or twice what a terrible child I was. So this throw back Thursday tale is one of mine. 

Once upon a time, my mother was in the hospital birthing my sister. I was 5-1/2, and being cared for by my beloved grandmother, Momom Arnaud. She was doing something at the sink and I was sitting on the floor by her feet. Gran, in her dramatic fashion said, "Shelly, I sure wish I could make it to your high school graduation.." In my innocence, I asked how old she was, and how old I'd be when I were to graduate. I counted on my fingers, hey math is hard when you're 5! Looked up at her and very seriously replied, "No, Granny, you're not going to make it..."

My Gran loved this story, and actually told it at my high school graduation party- and my college graduation party.

Miss you, Gran. 

Toddler tues!

So, the hubs told the 4 year old we were pregnant. It went something like this:

TH- Eric, you're going to be a big brother! Mama's going to have a baby!

E- Whyyyyyy?

I sense jealousy in the future. 

Later I'll post my review of my new stroller!

Meh~ toddler Tuesday, save me now.

Sorry folks, I have no infinite words of wisdom today on toddler Tuesday, because my toddler outsmarted me this morning. In a bid to be a big boy, he let the little dogs out of the house. This resulted in various doggie bribery in order to return them home, a very dirty work shirt, and a rush commute. Also, there was an incident in the car over a transformer, which resulted in a spur of the moment temper tantrum (and a very startled driver!). 

So, just an FYI, if you choose not to have kids, I totally understand. It's ok, we have enough people. You're in the clear. No pressure. I just want to live vicariously through you and your ability to sleep in and travel.
