"When I become Dumb."

With the purchase that was made yesterday, I believe that a visit to the ER or chiro will happen to one of us in the Frederick Family very soon. A certain boy was influenced by his cousin to get a rip-stick...it was something that we couldn't live without. So early this morning I am in my usual spot on the front porch with my coffee in hand when out comes this boy with the new toy. I ask him if he had a good night and did he really sleep with this thing that he was clutching on so tightly...his reply was, "Yes, I slept well and the rip-stick is an awesome pillow." He then decides that the driveway has too many stones in it, so starts to sweep it and clear it off. He then turns towards me and states very seriously, "Mom, when I become dumb...you know like put my brains on a shelf...you know like some teenagers do...I am going to rip stick from the top of our hill to the bottom." Some of you know that we live in a valley and our driveway is quite steep, so I guess he sees that as a challenge...and of course I see that as something very dumb. So if this does happen, I just hope that I am not in my usual spot on the front porch, and if I am I just hope that my coffee is extra rich and hot that day. A Terrific Tuesday is wished to you, from the Terrifying Frederick Zoo.
