Justin's cousin paid him a dollar to "not talk for 5 whole minutes." Quite the feat for young Justy!!
From the same boy who continues to put the milk jug in the pantry and wash his hands BEFORE he pees, comes more of the keen observations and amazing truths about life, our galaxy, and his tween sister. Lately, he has been spewing some sharply dead accurate observations – ranging from world peace to bacon – that I thought needed sharing.
“When will the world ever be at peace? Why don’t we just play a game of checkers with our enemies, and the winner takes all.” Sounds like a hell of an idea, as long as the game is rigged so our country sweeps it!
“Blondes DO have more fun!” Lots of blondes in the Puckett household (sorry Brad), so not sure who or what fun exactly he was referring to.
“Somehow, school has actually improved my life!” He sounded dumbfounded even as he said this.
“The whole world runs on bacon.” My fellow pseudo-Mardi Gras mystical society Order of Porkateers are proud of this statement, no doubt.
“Why do people from the north talk weird and people from the south sound good?” I am a bit torn on this statement, having spent my elementary and middle school years on the streets of Philly. Ok, more like the middle-class suburbs of Philly – but still! I was a Yankee at one time of my life. Either way, it’s an ironic question coming from a boy living in deep south Mobile, Alabama.
And finally, last night’s statement as I tucked him into bed (his most priceless quotes seem to come at bedtime). I was merely sighing that I wish HE could remember to brush his teeth, turn on his nightlight, etc without me having to remind him every single time. I was tired of having do the thinking for him.
Justin: “Mommy, you should take the day off tomorrow. Just sit around on the couch and watch TV and don’t worry about us.”
Me: “Ok, but who will do the thinking for you?”
Justin (without hesitation): “Uh, Daddy.”
Me: “Well, you should have said ‘Justin will take care of Justin’s thinking’.”
Justin (again, without hesitation): “Yeah, like THAT’S gonna happen!”
A gal can dream, can’t she?!
