I took a look and picked up an aqua-colored stone. "This one."
"Do you know which one is my favorite?"
"No, Bubba. Which one is your favorite?"
He picked up a topaz-colored rock with brown stripes. "Take a look at this one." He held it in front of my face and slowly moved it across my line of vision. The stone was like a holographic image. As he moved it, the pattern on the surface of the stone seemed to change. "It's a tiger's eye," he explained. "Do you know why I like it?"
"Because it's fancy?" I asked.
He nodded. "And because I can use it to hypnotize you!"
If you start feeding him cookies for every meal, you'll know it worked.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. I'd better watch that kid! ;0)
DeleteI like Tiger's eye stones, too. That kid is going to go places, he plans ahead. . .
ReplyDeleteNow if I can only get him to plan ahead at school!
DeleteThat was my favourite as a kid!
ReplyDeleteHe has great taste!
It is a pretty cool stone!
DeleteTigers eyes were most collectable when I was a kid. We had a rcok tumbler and would make lots of really cook polished stones as kids.
ReplyDeleteMy kids had a rock tumbler, but it made so much noise, my husband made them get rid of it.
DeleteShame on him. We ran the rock tumbler in the garage.
Deletea clever trick to hypnotize you to give him a bigger allowance...
ReplyDeleteYes. I'm sure that he'll end up with more cookies, more candy, and more money because of that stone!
DeleteThis is really great! Nice stone.

I think it's rather pretty!
DeleteYou'll have to keep an eye on him! ;)
ReplyDeleteNo kidding! He's a clever one!
DeleteOh oh! You better watch out!
ReplyDeleteI see trouble ahead!
DeleteHa! Bubba. *shakes head* too funny. :)
ReplyDeleteI have to wonder what he's up to. There must be a reason he wants to hypnotize me!
DeleteOh what he can do now, you will be his puppet haha
ReplyDeleteLike I'm not already! ;0)
DeleteBeware! He's got all the power now!
ReplyDeleteI know. I'm in big trouble now!
DeleteI love those—they're beautiful!
ReplyDeleteA tiger's eye is a great gemstone. What a fun school trip that must have been.
ReplyDeleteHe was talking about that trip for some time!
DeleteHe's so funny as always. :)
ReplyDeleteI bet you can't wait 'til yours comes out and entertains you like this!
DeleteI've been hypnotized for years.
ReplyDeleteLove,
