A Man's Man

Yesterday I volunteered in J.J.'s class and was filing these short stories in a filing cabinet that his class had written.  The topic was something like "What I would do if I went to a ball" or something to that effect.  The girls all had these elaborate stories including what color their dresses would be, how a prince would come pick them up, take them out to dinner, they would dance all night, etc.  A few of the boys even had details like being picked up in a limo, and having a fancy dinner or whatnot.  It was actually quite impressive!

The majority of the boys however had stories like my boy.  And when I got to his, I had to take a picture.  If I was smart and knew how to operate my dumb phone (and it is literally a dumb phone) I could post this pic.  Instead I will write his story out for your reading pleasure.  Don't worry, it won't take me long.

"First I would get a suit and throw it on me.  Next I would go to the party.  Then I would eat dinner and go to bed."

Yup, definitely a man's man.

The funny thing was that the next story I had to file was a Halloween story and he filled the entire page with details about bloody zombies and graves and skeletons and the like.  At least I know he has writing skills when the subject interests him!

Honesty...it's such a lonely word.

Wow.  It's been so long since I posted that I didn't even recognize the new look that blogger has and it took me a minute to figure out how to write a new post!  Oops.  I don't even have time to write a full update.  I've increased my workload for my work-at-home job, at the most inconvenient time ever:  right before Fall Break when my kids are out of school for a week.  Yup, I'm an idiot.  But hey, when you need more money you gotta do what you gotta do.

I'm on here because Trey always says and does some really funny/weird stuff and I decided I need to start writing these things down so I don't forget them.

At 6:30 this morning I hear running feet down the hallway.  Not unusual at my house because my children awaken at the crack of dawn.  I do not understand this and never will.  But we do have a rule at my house, and that is that they don't come out of their room until 7:00 A.M.  This rule is ALWAYS being broken.  Anyway, I go to investigate the sound of running feet in the hall at 6:30 A.M. and I find Trey fully dressed in jeans, T-shirt, socks and shoes.  What the what?

me - "Trey, what are you doing?"
Trey - "Oh!  Me and Bubba had an idea.  We're going to sneak out of the house, and go steal stuff."

And...another day begins in the Larsen household.
