keiramarcosSo today I was going to do some reading, plotting, and writing. My word count goal was: 5,000 words.
Instead, I'm going to the video game store with my nephew to buy him "stuff". He's a great kid and somehow through some miracle of genetics got my smart-ass gene. Between the two of us we take sarcasm to an ART FORM. His first foray into smartassery was at 4 when I taught him to respond to questions with "I hardly think so." (smirks).
My sister called me howling with laughter and then cursed me out.
Last month I taught him the phrase: "I am, at this time, willing to listen to your little opinions on the subject."
He's TEN.
My brother-in-law texted me with threats of dire consequences and cheese flavored dog treats for my dogs (if you have dogs you understand how heinous that threat is).
Aside: I'm completely and totally aware of the poem and what the quote should be.
