I was making my son's bed today and came across the usual items in his sheets...Nintendo DS, dirty socks and a notebook covered in stickers. As a Mother, I had to peek inside. Who knows what he might be writing about and if its good, I may use the material...
It was VERY good...and I am a little desperate for material, so here goes:
Page 1: A weekly chart of school events. Monday- Art, Tuesday- Music and guitar lessons, okay...you got the picture, turn the page.
Page 2- Written Contract with Dad: "Dad said if I get a B or A in Math, I get a motorcycle and lessons. " Four places to sign the contract, I guess he expects even his sister to sign off on the deal!
Page 3- A list of phone numbers of family and friends...again boring information, but he did write down our office number which is good for him to know!
Page 4- (Feeling a little guilty reading this notebook, but not guilty enough to stop). This page is titled "Money"and goes as such: 50 dollars Target gift card, 50 regular dollars, and more change (guess he doesn't count that stuff as money...I remember counting change the other day for a taco at Taco Bell). Anyhow, Chinese money $5, $ 2, $1, $1 and Dollar shills, Total: $ 209.75...Apparently, we still need to work on adding money, hence the page 2 and math grade!
Page 5- This one made me laugh. Its a "top ten wish list of things to buy" with the loot he counted on page 4.
1. Lego Atlantis
2. Tech Decks
3. FOX motorcycle stickers
4. Nintendo games- Halo or Modern Warfare #2. (No, he doesn't have #1, or any war games...this is a wish list, keep wishin' kid.)
5. PS3
6. Candy, Reeses, M & M's, Kit Kats, Lollipops.(Damn,that's my wish list too!)
7. Computer
8. TV
9. New Shoes
10. AXE Men Body Wash.
Yep, my ten year old is wishin' for some Axe Body Wash. I understood the desire for games, electronics, and even the candy, which I might add, I am now craving a frozen Reeses peanut butter cup and maybe some milk to wash it down. But, the body wash threw me off. Perhaps, the commercial makes him want it so?
He showers twice a day, with Gold Dial and a handful of Hotel soaps he steals from my stash; which I keep in my bathroom drawer. Max even has TWO bottles of shampoo. Some days he smells: "Green Apple" and other days its "Ocean Breeze." I guess, he's looking for a new moxie.
Axe Men's Body Wash.
I am tempted to pick some up for him. Right after I get the mega bag of Reese's Peanut Butter cups and a gallon of milk.
Oh, I am so glad my kids don't read my blog. Gotta put the notebook back under the sheets. But,... not before I take a picture!
