***WAIT - DON'T FORGET TO ENTER THE EXCITING OSCAR SCHMOSCAR...GIMME A BOOK! CONTEST***
***DEADLINE IS FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 29 AT NOON***
For a little variety here at Di's Book Blog, etc., my 12-year old son Rory has written this week's Thursday Thirteen. This was surprisingly NOT a spontaneous topic. He is grounded from TV and computer until Friday and this was an attempt to soften up the parole board (me!) Some editorial comments were added my Mom herself.
1. She cleans up after me - and has from diapers to bandaids to cell phones and iPods.
2. She does enough reading for the whole family - yet they still feel compelled to interrupt me when I dare to try to read when they are awake!
3. She buys me stuff - luxuries like clothing and food!
4. She met my Dad - and married him despite all the warning signs.
5. She made me - something Mom has done that no one in the world can lay claim to...or would want to!
6. She gave me my sexiness - um, yeah, a little disturbing...but he was just trying to tell me what he thinks I want to hear.
7. Her music [insert sarcasm] is so NOT annoying - I still refuse to call my music "oldies"...but to my kids, Nirvana is oldies!
8. She fell in love with Toby - what's not to fall in love with?
9. She mentions putting Haley up for adoption every once in a while - he loves her, he just hides it well.
10. She gets Wal-Mart pizza - in the refrigerated section, every bit as good as delivery pizza and much cheaper.
11. She is the coolest Mom ever - he speaketh the truth!!!
12. She goes to more of my games than my Dad - only because Dad is traveling in order to keep a roof over our head, food in our tummies and pay the entry fees for whatever sport in which he is participating.
13. a) She doesn't travel.
13. b) When she does travel, my Dad and I get boys' weekend - my son the optimist...he comes by it honestly!
What would your child say about you???

P.S. DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE CONTEST!!!
Great list - so, did the sucking up work? ;)

Oh my! Looks like your son got your sense of wit as well. I really laugh at the sexiness part! Ha! And what a good mom tactic - make a list of what's great about me. I must remember this. Right now, I'm just concentrating on keeping the crayons out of his nose.

So fun, a few weeks back my father (who is seventy) posted my TT.
