Being Tims


I have some suggestions for you if you would care to be my youngest son.

1. Ask for snacks immediately after breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks.
2. If no snack is forthcoming forage for sugar.
3. If you are told NO about anything throw yourself on the floor, kick the air and scream until you can't breathe.
4. After being put into timeout, RUN.
5. Play in the toilet.
6. Lick the fly swatter.
7. Eat out of the garbage.
8. Break everything you can reach.
9. Whatever it is, pick it up and throw it.
10. Hit, pinch, bite and push your way through life.
11. Talk non stop.
12. Pull the cat's tail but only when no one is looking.
13. Why read books when you can color the pages and tear them up?
14. Hide all remote controls.
15. Your answer to all questions is "Nussin."
16. Yell as much as possible so the world knows where you are.
17. Shrug your shoulders and walk away.
18. Food is for playing with, not for eating.
19. Carry on at Children's Church and cry loudly so momma stays. If that doesn't work, RUN.
20. Insist that nobody else in the family can help you but Mom. See #10 for the proper course of action if someone tries.
21. Whatever you find outside should be put into your mouth. If it is moving, kill it first.
22. Your Tim Volume shall always be set on HIGH.
23. Pretend you care.
24. When all else fails, flash the dimples.

Wow, I could write most of the same rules for my Peter. He's 3. Maybe he's a Tims in Training. And yes, he has dimples too.

Hi Jen B,
Wow is right. The same little boy brain in two different bodies! btw Tim's best friend is a Peter.

#2 - If you ask Peter what he wants for breakfast, he will say, "sugar." His favorite food is marshmallows, esp the ones in Yucky Charms.
#15 - The answer we get is "anything" as in, I'm not doing anything. Yeah, right.
The rest of them, we pretty much match up your list. :)

I love your blog. I found you at Jill Stanek's blog and got hooked. Thanks for the smiles!

Jen B,
Thank you. I am not alone!!

I heart Yucky Charms.

Can you imagine our two BOYZ together? That could be quite the blog post!!

I was going to ask you how we met.
Obviously after talking abortion so much this is my happy place. :)
