I Would

Wow! Time is really flying by now, isn't it? Can't believe I left my blog for so long. Just too many things happening at the moment.

Kiddos are now out of school. We have all breathed a sigh of relief. And in case you live in a decent climate or haven't been outside in a week- it got hot. It's now to the holy-smokes-we-live-in-the-freakin'-desert stage. By July it just becomes the Oh-dear-Lord-I-think-I'm-gonna-die kind of hot. Fun times.

So, part of what I have done with my time over the last week is clean backpacks, lunchbags, etc. And as I sorted through Dunk's last day of school papers I find a fill-in-the-blank All About Me! page. Totally up my alley, right? And I was so thrilled that his teacher actually had them doing meaningful stuff right up until the very last day. Let's just say that wasn't the case for everyone.

So I am reading through this assignment, which he wrote all the answers himself, and it's a pretty long assignment. Endurance is probably the biggest skill he needs to do something like that, it takes him so many more times the effort it would take you or I. So, that he filled in all the answers on a two page assignment himself and I can read them all.... well, that's a pretty big deal.

But the answers, man, they are the best. Seriously, funniest person I know.

6. I can hardly wait until I do anything.

And that is actually true. He doesn't really care what we do or where we go, he just wants to do something, right now.

11. I would like to be invisible sometimes because I'm hiding.

I am actually a little surprised he didn't add Duh! at the end of that one.

27. Something interesting about me that no one else knows is that I am 1/2 Indian.

Um, he isn't. In fact, not even a 1/4 Indian. Casey and I weren't sure he could even qualify as an 1/8. Nice story, though.

But by far, the funniest thing I have read in quite some time was number 25-

25. I wouldn't mind being a butterfly because I would.

I said to Dunk, " You didn't finish this one. What would you do if you were a butterfly?"

"What?" he replied with a puzzled look.

"It says I wouldn't mind being a butterfly because and you only said I would. You would what?"

"Mind," he says"bein' a butterfly"

"Oh, right"

Man, that little dude is funny.
