Well, I missed #TBT so let’s go with Flashback Friday (#FBF).
I came across this video of me from my first Christmas in Georgia and a few things come to mind.
This is why I don’t let my folks dress me without my input and/or protest. They think I’m having fun, but I was flailing around trying to say, “get me out of this ridiculous outfit because one day it will come back to haunt me!” – prophetic, no?!
Did we not have chairs? I mean why was I on the floor the whole time. They thought I didn’t know any better, but I knew. That isn’t a look of holiday cheer – it was a look of befuddlement because I was wondering why no one was getting me off the floor. Too bad I didn’t have a Life Alert.
I hope my folks enjoyed the fact all they had to get me for Christmas was tissue paper because TIMES HAVE CHANGED, BABY! I’m all about the tech now – gaming PC, iPhone 6+, video games, etc. – time to pay up folks!
For #TBT today we are going all the way back to 8/26/13 – the first day of 1st grade. Why? because today is the last day of 1st grade, baby! Now, there’s a 2nd grader up in here!! Woot, woot!!
Did I ever tell you about the time daddy wanted to meet Barney so bad? You know – the big purple dinosaur that likes to sings and hug people? Evidently, daddy used to watch the show all the time when I was younger and would always sing his “I love you” song and make me and mommy act out the parts of the song. Supposedly, I enjoyed doing this, but I’m not admitting nothin’ (double negative used for effect).
This was me right before my Village People tryout. Unfortunately, I didn’t make the cut – evidently, there was a huge turnout for the construction worker. #shouldhavebeentheindian
This is the last time I have even looked at the fat man in the red suit. In my first year of existence, I didn’t have a say. The second year, I made sure they heard my protest. It’s amazing I look forward to Christmas. All the presents must have been therapeutic. I still have nightmares so send plenty of gifts.
It’s ThrowBack Thursday so here is a pic to show how my parents always make sure I have a well-balanced breakfast….banana and Red Bull – what every growing boy needs. Don’t worry, the can was empty. I was just trying to be like mommy.
