A Parting Comment

I'm off to NYC in a few hours, but wanted to leave you with a few gems from the Future Oscar Winner.

He's reached the "super hero" phase of boyhood where everything super hero related is the pinnacle of cool. He even has a very large Superman pillow (shaped like Superman). As he was playing a rousing game of super heroes last night, he exclaimed, while sitting on Superman's face, "Smell my farts, you FIEND!" So very funny.

Finally, as he was throwing an Oscar caliber tantrum about something that his brother did to him he started a list of all of the reasons his brother is a royal pain in the buttocks. The list had a "first of all" and a "second of all" but when he got to the third reason he yelled, "And third of all...well, actually, there is no third of all." He realized what he'd said and the fit dissolved into laughter. A good ending to a fit if ever there was one.

Have a great pre-Thanksgiving week. We're going to be leaving for Texas next Saturday! Road trip! We're stopping in Arkansas on night one and then on to my hometown where we'll see my brother and "other relatives." Then, it's on to San Angelo to my mom's house. I just heard that my grandmother will be there. Let's hope she's in somewhat or her right mind, or else it's going to be a long week explaining to 5 year olds why grandma thinks someone is hiding in the bushes trying to kill her.
