Dancing Without Rhythm

I wanted to show off my new shirt. And then mom told me to relax.


Benja got tagged by Rosalind over at her mama’s blog for his first ever Meme. I tried to get his responses but he’s....busy. I got him for about 2 minutes though.

“Want to do a blog with me?”
"You do a blog with me!”
"Uh, you can’t type.”
"You tan’t type!”
"Get over here boy!”
"Otay.”

3 Things That Scare Me:
Monstohs and big bugs.
And ants (or aunts, not sure which)
(If you think he's a ninny for being afraid of ants....come to Texas)

3 people who make me laugh:
I make 3 people laugh.
Braxton and Brayden and Jacob.

And Amy!

3 things I love:
I don’t know.
Mouses.
I don’t like snakes because....do snakes bite us?
No.
Do they lick us?
No.
Dad got me a snake yestowday.
Come on Benja, three things you love.
I love snakes and computers.
And I’m not going to tell you anymoh.
(I think Benja is going to be one of those kids in 3rd grade who is asked to write a creative story on any subject he wants---he'll look around at the chalk board, chalk, erasers, bulletin boards, desks, kids....and write a horror story about desks that eat erasers and turn into bulletin boards. His "creativity" comes from those things immediately within view. On the other hand, he'll probably commit the story to memory and recite it word for word on demand. Who would demand a story about eraser-eating desks though...

3 Things I hate:
Taking naps (leaving the "party")
Bedtime (leaving the "party")
When PBS doesn’t play back to back episodes of Caillou for 3 hours straight.

3 Things I don't understand:
Why we don't eat cookies and fruit snacks for three meals a day.
The meaning of “I don’t know”
Why my mom says a person can't be the earth's axis, but my sister is.

3 things on my dresser:
A hammer
An unhung shelf
A clay mold of my chubby, precious, 7 month old foot

3 things I'm doing right now:
Singing “Da wee-ohs on the bus doe round and round”
Wearing an adorable “Don’t mess with Texas” shirt and no pants (mom thinks those little navy briefs are adorable so she wins when dad tries to keep me clothed)
Pushing around a truck on the table

3 things I want to do before I die:
Play with my cousins for 572 hours straight
Buy my mom a jet
Eat popsicles all day

3 things I can do:
Understand when grownups are making a joke
Find sugary food blindfolded with my hands behind my back.
Make my mom laugh every day

3 ways to describe my personality:
Sweet through and through
Easy-going and quick to laugh
Always ready for an adventure

3 things I think you should listen to:
What is a Didjeridoo by Tom Chapin
The Elephant Song by Tom Chapin
Me say “poop” “toot” and whatever else I preface with, “Hear this!”

3 things I think you should never listen to:
Avee’s yelling or tattling because then you’d never have time to listen to anything else.
People who say, “your shoes are on the wrong feet”
The media reports on anything political.

3 absolute favorite foods:
Benja’s answers: Corn, broccoli, pineapple
The truth: Candy, cookies, popsicles

3 things I'd like to learn:
How to play Nintendo 64
How to overthrow Avee’s reign upon this household
Anything my dad wants to teach me

3 things I drink regularly:
Told, told, told, TOLD Water, but wish it were Frite
Chocolate milk, but wish it were Frite
Frite because I’ve worn my mom down.

3 shows I watch:
Cliff-owed
Tye-you
Bob the Boodoo
3 shows I’d like to watch if my cheap parents had cable:Dora
Blue’s Clues
Little Einsteins

Thanks Rosalind, I hope to meet you someday. I think we could be friends---mom says Avee is breaking me in for it.
