Punk Kid

Posted on by


So I had about 150 errands to run today. I hate to run errands, totally hate it! For one thing I live about 30+ minutes from anywhere, so to go into town usually takes at the very least an hour. Second of all, getting two kids in and out of car seats and into and out of stores is just plain annoying. I had to go to two beauty supply stores, and they aren’t very kid friendly, I swear they cringe when they see me coming! Have you ever tried to carry 3 gallons of shampoo two bags a 20 pound baby and try to keep track of a three year old? It is a royal pain in the rear!

Today when we started out after lunch and after my kindergartner left for school I decided to stop at sonic for a big ‘ol diet coke with a squirt of vanilla. I was hoping that my 3 year old punk would be asleep, but no such luck. This is the conversation we had as I pulled up to the drive in.

 

“mama, I get somfin?”

“No honey, only for mama.”

“why!”

“Because you are a punk kid.”

 

“I no punk kid, I da baba grill.”

 

“no, really you are just a punk kid.”

“no, I not, I booful grill, I da baba grill!”

(at this time I spy a 99 cent dish of ice cream on the menu and order one along with my big fat diet coke, we pull up to the window and she see the lady hand me the ice cream)

“hey wa dat icreem for?”

“for mama”

“not for me?”

“no”

“why?”

“you are a punk kid.”

“dis punk kid like icreem!”

“she does?”

“ya!”

This is when I hand her the little dish of ice cream and a spoon. You would have thought I had given her diamonds! She made it last the whole shopping trip.

You gotta love those little punks…or “bootiful grills”

  1. I am just the opposite, I love going to run errands, to get out of the house and let the kids get a change of scenery! But I will agree the in and out of carseats if a pain. What a cute little punk kid!

  3. How could you try to torment that bootiful grill! lol She is too cute. I love how kids ration things.
    (Don’t you love how blogs become your source of recording the cute things that we would otherwise forget about? I do.)

  4. my sister found a site that will actually publish your blogs in a bound book, I haven’t looked into it, but wouldn’t it be fun to have it all saved, especailly the kiddy stuff.
