My nine-year-old son is on a roll with taking things literally. If you were here a few days ago, you may have read about giving Mama the cold shoulder. He tossed an ice cube down my sweater and told me he was giving me a cold shoulder because I was engrossed in my work and not giving him enough attention.
The most recent escapade again involved ice. I was sitting at my computer, typing away, when I heard a very strange sound. It seemed like something was being dragged across our hard-wood floors.
A couple of seconds later, my boy appeared, sliding his feet along the ground.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
He lifted his foot and revealed an ice cube underneath. "Ice skating."
I didn't even know what to say to that. I shook my head as he grinned and continued his laps around the house.
"Change your socks when you're done!" I hollered after him.
What next?
Hopefully he never takes break the ice seriously

DeleteThat should be interesting, now that you mention it...
DeleteCould you imagine that as a pick-up line: "Hey, I'd like to break the ice with you - SMASH!"
DeleteSounds like you have your very own "ice capades" going on.
ReplyDeleteLOL How true!
DeleteThat I do - free of charge!
DeleteAdd some soap and let him clean the floors!
ReplyDeleteThe ice would probably turn the soap to soapsicles!
DeleteAlways something going on at your house–just the way my house used to be. I miss those days, but I love my oxymorons (adult children) dearly.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Different chapters of life - it's good to appreciate our kids and enjoy every moment no matter what chapter they're in!
DeleteI think someone needs to keep the ice away from him. LOL!
ReplyDelete(By the way, I changed my comment type form on my author blog. I don't know why the embed form was giving you troubles. I still appreciate you stopping by and reading, even if you can't comment.)
Funny you should say that. I just went into the freezer to inspect the ice supply, and a found a huge glob of about twenty cubes stuck together sitting on the shelf. I wonder what the boy's plans are for that! LOL!
DeleteI'm not sure why I can't comment on your page. I have the same trouble with Alex's blog. No problem with any one else's, though. I'll keep trying.
Hope he mopped the floors after the choreography
ReplyDeleteHa! No. I think his socks got wetter than the floors.
DeleteYour son has a great imagination. I didn't think of either of those things to torture my mom with when I was his age. I hope he didn't fall. I take my hat off to you for your patience. Being that patient is definitely not easy.
ReplyDeleteHe has an amazing imagination. I've learned not to sweat the small stuff. If he was doing something dangerous or destructive, that would be a different story!
DeleteA creative mind. . .and all that.
ReplyDeleteYes, he certainly has a creative mind!
DeleteThat kid cracks me up. He's a gold mine.
ReplyDeleteI could write a book about all the crazy things he does!
DeleteHA! The Olympics are in his future!
ReplyDeleteI bet he'd get straight 10s from the judges!
DeleteYour son may well become a hockey player. Before I make a total ice of myself, I shall slide on out of here....
ReplyDeletePawsitive wishes,
Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar!
I hope not. Hockey players have trouble keeping their teeth!
DeleteI see a great future ahead of him!
ReplyDeleteYes. As a stand-up (or ice-skating) comedian!
DeleteYour family must give you plenty of laughs in your life. Enjoy the children before they get to the dating stage.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Oy! Did you have to remind me? My daughter is almost there!
DeleteA great way to get your floors cleaned. ;)
ReplyDeleteIf he doesn't scratch them first!
DeleteHopefully no one gets iced
ReplyDeleteNo. Nobody got iced. ;0)
DeleteWhat will he think of next?
ReplyDelete: )
Kids are so cool.
