I got him hooked on Harry Potter... he got ME hooked on Percy Jackson... Our humor tends to dwell in wordplay and absurdity. I'm pretty sure he mastered sarcasm at age 5. He is a little inclined to frustration or sadness, but NEVER the raging, self pity or drama the other half of our household undertakes. He can power-logic through most things, once he detaches a little. Math comes easily and he enjoys being smart.... yes, everything about him says he is my son... erm... (except the skinny thing... that comes from his dad...)
*snort* Oh, the mellowdrama... |
So tonight he was talking to me... pleasant conversation, but suddenly he said 'Zing!' and points at me. I turned to look and laughed. He explains that he does this to people regularly. I tried to explain mainstream popular ANNOYING culture, versus being himself, but it seems that, like the Justin Bieber hair, this is just something he needs to try for a while. I don't think you are in any danger, unless you start hanging out in his middle school... but it reminds me we ALL have to try on different personas... even is they are annoying and strange, and we are destined to be our parents in the end.
And as it is the ZED in A to Z... this round of it has been AMAZING. It will take a little while to recoup and get back to normal, but I will... and I have met some truly fabulous people... So THANK YOU, Lee! (and all the others involved) and Thank YIBIS for playing and making it such a great month! (see yesterday if you don't know what that means)
I will see you all Monday. Have a great weekend!

Your child is a handsome lil devil, isn't he? And intelligent to boot? Watch out ladies of the future. Watch out. :)
Your son sounds wonderful - it's so great to have someone in the house who "gets" what you're doing.
Congrats on a wonderful month full of wonderful blog posts - glad to have met you through A to Z!
Yay for the Zing from Child No. 2!!!! What a STAR!!!!!
HUGE CONGRATULATIONS for finishing the challenge with such NAKED style too!! Woo-hoo!!
Take care

ZING! It was great to hear about Child #2!
Zing!!! Isn't it great to have cheerleaders?! He sounds like a fun kid. Adorable. LOL
Hart, we did it! Congratulations! I have an award for you!!
What a fun son. Enjoy your zany times together!
He sounds amazing. Don't let him lose his oddness.
Glad to find ya.
He sounds like a lot of fun! I can remember trying on new personas, lol. Some were miserable failures. Come to think of it, I believe we incorporate small things all the time that we find in other people.... very interesting post.
Your son sounds gorgeous. I don't believe anyone could hate you!! You're too much fun.
Congrats on finishing the A-Z. You have been amazing as usual. well done XX
Amazing how our children can be so similar and different from us and their own person at the same time.
Enjoying my downtime today. The challenge has been exhausting.
oh, that's so funny... and too precious. He sounds like my first (Catherine) with the trying on personas thing. She does that all the time, and like you, I try to direct her towards being herself... sigh.
I love that he's your little ally, though. What a great kid! :o) <3
I have one of those clones, too. Aren't they great to have around? And I empathize about the highs and lows.
I do believe I shall be taking a nap on behalf of all you A-Z challenge participants tomorrow. You deserve it.
:)
Here's to partners in oddness! *raises glass*
It sound like you have a very "normal" family. Conflicts in the home are a part of life. We learn so much about ourselves and the others who share our lives with us.
You are on your way MS. Tart.... NEVER give up on you or them.

Testing the waters is cool; I like zing! He sounds fun like you~ My oldest is a lot like me, but my youngest has this amazing ability to be on the same wave length. We just get each other! Children are amazing...glad you shared your youngest!
Congrats we crossed the line...where is the cheers and the applause?! lol
+1 from blog hop cool blog
My youngest is odd and revels in it too!
I meant to add - I blame the parents :-)
He sounds like about the coolest kind of kid. The zing thing just adds to his awesomeness.
Anyone who enjoys Harry Potter and Percy Jackson has to be a Zinger for sure. Zing on!
