My eight-year-old son grabbed a packet of bendy straws and plopped them onto the kitchen table. I glanced at the kid and went about my business. I was too busy to inquire what he might be doing with those things.
About five minutes later, he appeared with a bendy straw necklace draped over his neck. Somehow he had managed to connect all of the straws.
"Bubba, why do you have straws around your neck?" I asked.
"I made a straw thing, so next time I need a straw I don't have to search for one."
"Oh," I said, mildly amused.
"And you can use them, too," he added. "Next time you need a straw for an art project, all you have to do is ask, and I'll give you one."
Wow. Sometimes that boy really amazes me!
Precious child! Bubba has an inventor's mind!
ReplyDeleteHe sure does!
DeleteSo very convenient
ReplyDeleteHe'll never have to walk far to get a straw!
DeleteWell one never knows when a straw may be called for!
ReplyDeleteRight. And there are so many art projects that require one. ;)
DeleteYes, it's always good to have a straw handy!
ReplyDeleteEspecially for drinking lemonade.
DeleteBubba definitely has a very creative mind! And you may need a straw!
ReplyDeleteNas
You never know when a straw will be required!
Deletethinking ahead is always good
ReplyDeleteBubba is always thinking ahead!
DeleteThat's smart!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!
DeleteCan I move to Atlanta with you?
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Sure!
DeleteThat's one way to think ahead! :P
ReplyDeleteThe boy is always asking for straws, so now that's one less question I have to listen to!
DeleteI love bendy straws. Maybe I'll follow Bubba's example.
ReplyDeleteLove,

They make a cute necklace!
DeleteYou never know when you might need a straw!
ReplyDeleteExactly.
DeleteVery creative and cute. Probably inherited the creativity!
ReplyDeleteMaybe. :)
DeleteThe only better thing than little kids is grown up kids who help you with BIG things ;D
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for that to happen!
DeleteBubba's well of creativity is endless :)
ReplyDeleteHa! It's a bottomless pit!
DeleteOnly "sometimes"? That boy is gonna grow up to do great things.
ReplyDeleteI think you're right!
DeleteMaybe it will be the next fashion statement
ReplyDeleteHmmm. I wonder if we could somehow package it up and sell it. ;)
DeleteStraws, that's great.
ReplyDeleteHe's a smart kid. Who does he take after? ;)
ReplyDeleteLOL! You need to make a coffee table book out of these posts, Sherry!
ReplyDeleteWhat an idea. Why keep straws in a drawer when you can wear them as a necklace until you need them for your drink. : )
