Lil brother's shriek of despair sounded like his worst enemy had thrown him upon a sword when I announced we were going to the li-berry. Prior to this announcement, I begged big kid to go with us. "Please, big kid! Lil brother will like it better if you go. He likes everything you like." No-go. Big kid wasn't buying. But he did assure me he would talk to lil brother and tell him that cool kids go to the li-berry and how lucky he was to have this time with mom. Rolling my eyes I humph, "Forget it. You tell him he's lucky to be hanging out with his mom at the li-berry then he's really gonna kick up a fuss." ANYHOO... Lil brother and I load up in Cutie Pie (the official name of my adorable PT cruiser convertible!) and take a nice trip through town. On the way we have a good convo about this one cool book he talks about all the time. "Do you be'member de snake with de two heads? And de baby with de deformed head?" He loves that weird, creepy stuff... Interesting enough, once we got there, he insists on choosing more books than I had allowed and picks out 2 for his brother...for a grand total of TEN BOOKS!!! Which proves that all that moaning and groaning is just a bellyachin' side show...
On the way home, lil brother who is sitting behind me, says, "Is dat orange in your hair???" I remind him that yes, I had my hair colored auburn recently. And then ask if he likes it. He pauses for a bit then announces, "I like it...it has... pizazz."
Next time I'm letting him check out 20 books and might even consider letting him push the buggy through Wal Mart on our next foray. Pizazz....!!! Who wouldn't want to be me?!?
