Every Friday in December, as part of the 'Tis More Blessed Giveaway, hosted by Milo James Fowler, I am giving away free copies of both of my books (That Mama is a Grouch, and That Baby Woke Me Up, AGAIN) to one lucky winner. Even if you already have copies, feel free to participate, because they could make great gifts for anyone you know. Just leave a comment below for a chance to win. These are hard copies of my book, and I am willing to mail them anywhere in the world. Be sure to visit Milo to find out who else is participating and have a chance to win their books as well.
And now for the story:
My nine-year-old son likes to talk to everyone he meets. He'll go up to random strangers and just start asking them about their day.
Yesterday, I took the boy to get a hair cut. When it was his turn, he sat in the chair and yappity yapped about whatever was on his mind at the moment. The stylist, an Asian man, interjected a comment or two.
After we had left, Bubba commented, "Mama, I didn't understand a word that guy said. But since I'm so good at talking, it didn't matter!"
That one made me chuckle!
ReplyDeleteParticipating in the giveaway as well but being a rebel and doing it on Monday.
You're the ninja captain, so you're allowed to be a rebel! ;0)
DeleteOh he's a character!
ReplyDeleteYes, he is!
DeleteHope he finds a quiet wife then :)
ReplyDeleteThat would be good, otherwise they'll be talking at the same time, and nobody will be listening!
DeleteThat is my gift also. As a kid I talked to everyone also, never met a stranger. One day in a department store I went up to talk to a man that was standing near the mens section. I said hello to him but he never talked back, his head was turned a little away from me, When I walked around to see his face I saw that he was a mannequin!
ReplyDeleteHa! It wouldn't surprise me if that happens to my son one day.
DeleteLOL! At least Bubba makes friends easily.
ReplyDeleteYes, he does!
DeleteLawyer in the making? Or car salesman? lol
ReplyDeleteHis dad is a salesman - I think that's where he got the chit-chat gene. ;0)
DeleteMy oldest son was a talker when he was younger. People used to call him the mayor of our little town because everyone knew him.
ReplyDeleteHow funny! Sounds just like Bubba!
DeleteLOL My daughter is like that!
ReplyDeleteOh boy! ;0)
DeleteGood skill to have
ReplyDeleteYes, as long as he knows when to shut up and listen!
DeleteBubba's great! Count me in for your giveaway.
ReplyDeleteBubba is certainly a character!
DeleteI'd love to win!
ReplyDeleteYou'll be in the raffle!
DeleteCount me in. And your boy sounds like a darling.
ReplyDeleteHe's hilarious!
DeleteMama is a Grouch only because she had kids - LOL!
ReplyDeleteHahaha! Isn't that the truth!
DeleteThat is so cute! Both of your books are adorable, so either would be a perfect gift!
ReplyDeleteI hope the winner will like them!
DeleteSherry, this just arrived. Am I too late to put my name in the hat?
ReplyDeleteI have both of your books, but I can't part with them. :-)
Bubba is adorable as always :-)
Tell you what, I'll put your name in the hat for the next one! The winner has already been chosen.
DeleteIn kids, being chatty and out going is a sign of confidence and security. So you must must be a successful parent!

Why, thank you!
DeleteBubba makes friends everywhere he goes, but I bet he can't out-talk The Hurricane.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
That would certainly be a competition!
DeleteWould love to win a free book, I love to read!
ReplyDeleteThere will be another give-away this Friday, so come back!
DeleteLOL! It's always incredibly hard for me to start a conversation with someone I know well, so I can't even imagine conversing with strangers so easily like this!
ReplyDeleteHe certainly has an outgoing personality!
DeleteYour bubba is always good for a chuckle! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYes, he certainly is!
DeleteHi Sherry,
ReplyDeleteA very generous offer by your good self. Your son reminds me of myself :)
Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
Gary
Well, you turned out pretty good, so I hope the same will be true of him!
DeleteIt is said that - going by current statistics - we have more people playing casino games over the Internet than in brick and mortar casinos. This is remarkable, because less than ten years ago, the Internet casino concept was still at its infancy - an idea whose feasibility was still a subject of debate. situs judi qq online terpercaya
ReplyDeleteYou should not let the title 'video game tester' fool you into thinking that this is not a job but the chance to be paid to do what you love the most. While it is true that video game testers have a lot of fun playing the games that they fell in love with at a young age, it is also a very serious job. แทงบอลต่างประเทศ
ReplyDeleteMost people start out in the online gaming world with free games. There are hundreds of gaming sites that offer a limited selection of free games while others offer just a game or two for free. You can find everything from Pac Man to very modern puzzle games like Sudoku, all offered online completely free. As you get comfortable playing those games, you may start to wonder about the games that are not available for free. Do you pay to play online or just stick with the games that you can access free of charge? sa gaming
