sleeping on the job


the job: finishing the cereal you chose for breakfast

payment: get to do anything you want when the jobs done.

reasons not to do the job: it looks bad and probably doesn't taste very good.

things to do instead of doing the job:



  1. cry

  2. stick your tongue out at mom

  3. sneak away to play playmobil

  4. call mom "stinky baby"

  5. have a time out

All in all its pretty exhausting work.

jamie, i've always secretly wanted to call you stinky baby. i'm so glad grant said it first, now i can. and also, eating cereal can be really difficult. i empathize with grant, Stinky Baby!

Stinky baby!!! It feels good to know that my kids aren't the only ones that call their excellent mother names.

Oh Jaime, that is classic. I love it!

Libby said...

So cute! At least you weren't the one forcing Dill Pickle Soup on your kids. I felt pretty guilty about that one...

Stinky baby! That is so great. I wonder where he got such an offensive name. Must have been called that himself.

Hi Jamie,
Being your father does Grant call me stinky-papa??

Jamie said...

Dad,
Its certainly a very distinguishing grandpa name. If he sticks his tongue out after saying it, you might not like it.

You are so creative!! Your writing style is SO much better and fun to read than "Grant wouldn't eat his cereal this morning". It's great!!
