really?!?!

First I need to say thank you to Nana and Papa for taking the boys to the circus. And to G Daddy for purchasing the tickets.

Next I need to tell you a funny story about the reason I didn't attend.

Ringling Brothers was in town for a few days this week.......EEK! I am TERRIFIED of clowns. Like......shaking in my boots, peeing my pants, crying like someone is trying to kill me kind of terrified. I HATE THEM! GQ just recently realized this bizarre fear of mine.....it went a little something like this...

GQ: "Mama, really.....you afraid of clowns?"

Me: "Yes, GQ, you know how some people are scared of snakes or spiders and
how you feel when you are sitting in the dark, that's how I feel about clowns"

GQ: Ponders over this for a few minutes and then cocks his head to the side and with a
wrinkled brow says...."Mama, they're just people."

Me: Laughing hysterically that he thought the reason I was scared was because I didn't
know that.


And finally I need to say to Nana.....REALLY?!?!! I mean, really?!?! Seriously?!?! What were you thinking? It was so nice of you to give my children an allotted amount of money to buy some kind of toy or souvenir from the circus, and GQ came home with an appropriate sword.......but you let Blue Eyes get a GIRL toy? REALLY?!?! I understand how much he wanted it because he plays with it non-stop. He even asked me when he got home if it was in fact a girl toy. When I assured him that it was, his response was, "I don't care, I like it!"

Lord love a duck!
