Thursday Thirteen

Thirteen Things My Boys Have Taught Me


1. A new dance move is big news.

2. It's just as funny the twelfth time as it is the first time.

3. 'What did I just say?' is the cleverest response to 'What did I just say?'

4. Smiles and hugs, judiciously offered, can be 'Get Out of Trouble Free' cards.

5. The right words to a song are the ones they think of first.

6. Nothing is too preposterous to try once...and then a second and third time.

7. Selective hearing is a family trait.

8. It's not enough to answer the call, 'Mom!' with 'What?'--you must turn and look too.

9. Quantity isn't important...as long as they get 'just one more'.

10. When I die, my sons can go to the zoo anytime they want.

11. They can use hugs as bargaining chips, but they expect me to use candy.

12. It's okay to be a marshmallow as long as you talk tough.

13. I have the best job in the world...just not enough time off.

These are so true! I love number 8. I don't know how many times turning around has revealed the best surprise. It usually involves mud or glue.

Fun list! My boy has taught me that if he yells "MOM!" in a certain urgent tone of voice, I'd best come running.

What a fun list, Alyssa! It sounds like a very entertaining household there!

Happy TT!
