This is Charlie; he loves baseball. Among other things.
And no, he’s not getting ready to slide, even though it kind of looks like he is. He’s getting ready to round third and score, which is even better than sliding. Mostly.
This morning, I was digging through his school bag for his lunch box, and a found a crumpled piece of paper in the bottom of the bag. It was a list of ten things he would do if there were no computers.
1. Read a book
2. Be board.
3. Go to school.
4. Do math.
5. Take a nap.
6. Make a cake.
7. Get stuff.
8. Go to the bank.
9. Go to Texas.
10. Feed a pig.
(This was his assignment from his computer class yesterday, by the way.)
Those last three things are the most awesome — it sounds like he’s planning a vacation there, doesn’t it? Most likely to Chris‘ house, although the last I heard, she did not have a pig.
We made Charlie read the list to us at breakfast and then we all laughed and laughed, because it’s pretty funny. Especially the part about feeding a pig.
And now I’m thinking that today might be a good day to make a cake. Hmm.

That is so sweet my heart is all mushy. I’d do math, too, if I didn’t have a computer, but without the calculator accessory, I think I’d be sunk. Best to take a nap instead, I think. Or feed a pig. =>

Charlie has his own life list. I love how kids like to go on errands, does your bank have lollipops by any chance? You’ve raised that boy right to want to visit our fair state. I guess I was mistaken, I always thought that Oklahoma kids learned to dislike Texas in elemntary school!

“Be board”, oh, that cracked me up

I think Chris should get a pot belly pig, no doubt many hilarious stories would ensue!!

I agree that “feed a pig” is totally hilarious, but I also laughed out loud at “be board.”

“Be board” is also my favorite, but “Get stuff” is a close second!
