The Second Grader: I should really be calling him something else since he won't be a second grader forever, but we'll worry about that later. Anyway. Hi, I like history! My dad talks history with me. I love books. I like to learn, but won't admit it. But, what I will do for you is tell you EVERYTHING I have learned from reading these books and from my dad. EVERY little thing. I will also tell you (182 times) that I am some how related to King Tut, because my dad told me this at the bus stop one morning and I am hanging on to that little tidbit for the R E S T of my life. Nice to meet ya!
Middle Child: Hi. I like to annoy my brother, give noogies and play video games. If I can do all three of these at the same time by using my brother's DS, I am on it. If I can do it in a public place.....like when we go out for pizza......all the better!
Baby Girl: Hello commoners. I am a princess and only like to wear dresses these days. Mostly dresses that are weather inappropriate, meaning I am probably going to freeze my patoobie off if my mom doesn't wrestle me to the ground and slap a coat on me. Also, I like to wear the most slippery and shiny shoes possible with said dresses.
Do they still not sound that bad? Ah, they really aren't. But, for fun, let me tell you about our evening.
We went out for pizza. They were hungry so everything started out fantabulous. Enter friends. My kids love to impress. At least, I learned this tonight. Some of their school friends showed up at the pizza place and my kids turned into non-stop talking, noogie-givin', dress-raising, nut cases. And, keep in mind, I am by myself, so it was 3 against 1. Never good odds.
The Second Grader decides to sit with his friends. That is fine. Except he is sharing all of the history lessons he knows and explaining how to join the "Mango Bros." club in his class. In case you want a membership, please eat a mango flavored Dum Dum lollipop and you are good to go. For life I am guessing.
Middle Child will not be out done and he has decided to take the attention away from his big brother by announcing to the entire restaurant the name of the Second Grader's "girlfriend".....this is supposed to be top secret except that the friends we are sitting with already know all about it. Then Middle Child decides a round of noogies are in order to celebrate this news.
Time to go!! Crazy kids be damned because I am finishing my piece of dessert pizza. Once I shove that sucker down my throat I gather them all up and to say a proper goodbye. Baby Girl holds her fancy dress over her face and shows the table her Cinderella undies. On that note, we leave.
Let it be known that if I see your kids acting crazy in a public place and I give you a "look".....it is a look of understanding. A look of sisterhood because I know what you are feeling. Most importantly, it is a look of "Heeheee! Thanks for taking the attention off my kids! Carry on!"
