2of3: Mom, look what I made for you! (Holds up some piece of elastic with gold sequins pre-sewn into it)
Me, who hasn’t had coffee yet, totally blowing him off: Uh huh.
Him: See how pretty it is! It’s got one sequin on it for every way you are the prettiest and best mom ever!
Me, totally repenting: Oh, honey, it is beautiful! Thank you so much! If I didn’t have puke breath, I’d kiss you!
Him: Isn’t it great? I worked really hard on it.
Me, picking up elastic bedazzled thingy of undetermined usage: You certainly did! (still have no clue what he contributed, btw) I love you so much, I’m going to buy you a pony!
Him: Just buy me a math book, okay?

OK, not-so-much if those feelings are for flower arranging, hair dressing or similar.

Friday, 17 October, 2008 at 10:57I have three things to say:
1. Never, ever, let a boy get his hands on sequins.
2. Puke breath? Are you expecting a fourth?
3. Love the sidebar. It looks a lot better today for some reason. More modern or something…dunno.

Friday, 17 October, 2008 at 12:54Wait. You mean to tell me that if I give you gold sequins, you’ll buy me a pony?
Or a math book!
What a decision to have to make.
stpaulslim
Friday, 17 October, 2008 at 13:00And I always thought it was girls who preferred math books to ponies. Actually, I read a statistic about that once, but I didn’t understand it. I think it started out something like, “Ann was riding her pony at 7 mph from Chicago to New York. Jill was riding her pony from New York to Chicago at 9 mph. What are the chances they’ll pass each other somewhere near Cincinnati?” Or something like that.

Ummm… did I read Twitter correctly? Are you knocked up? Because I can’t WAIT to not drink with you if that’s true! Of course, you’d better hurry, because my sobriety is only going to last so much longer. I’m carrying a magnum to the L&D for this kid.

Friday, 17 October, 2008 at 19:57Forget the math book, get that talented kiddo a Bedazzler. He can hire an accountant to do the math.
How sweet is he? Now go put it in his baby book. I know he has one. Pen may have never actually touched the paper, but you meant too, I know!!
I have a pipecleaner bracelet in my jewelry box that I will be buried with, actually cremated, but the sentiment is the same, I promise.
