Today, I'm doing the Deja Vu Blog Fest hosted by D L Hammons. Participants just have to choose a blog from the archives and repost it. Easy!
My selection is from December 31, 2010, my first year of blogging, and when I had very few followers. There were no comments on this original post. It's called "Head Adjustment." (Let's see if I get a few more comments this time around!)
"Mama, your head is on backwards," my son said as he arranged my long hair over my face. (No comments on that comment, please.)
"Really?"
"Yeah. Your face is on the back of your head, and your ears are on the wrong way."
"What should I do about this?" I asked.
"Shake your head like a dog."
I shook my head like a dog.
"No, shake it three times like a dog."
My head was starting to hurt after that. "How's that?" I asked.
"Your head is still on backwards. Better try shaking it five times."
"How's that?" I asked after feeling like my neck had major whiplash.
"Um, now you look like an angry Mama."
Perfect.
(In case you want to know, my son, AKA Bubba, was six years old.) Hope you enjoyed this little blast from the past!
Blast from the past, indeed.
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas.
He hasn't changed much!
DeleteWhy on Earth did he think your head was on backwards?
ReplyDeleteBecause my hair was covering my face and not the back of my head. This was from the mind of a six-year-old!
Deletelol hopefully it's stayed straight over the years
ReplyDeleteNo. My head has been messed up for as long as I can remember! ;0)
Deletehow did you come to name him Bubba?
ReplyDeleteThe nurse actually called him that when he was born. He was a big, rolly-polly baby. He looked just like a Bubba!
DeleteSo far, it seems you've gotten more comments!
ReplyDeleteYes! Things have changed a little over the years. ;0)
DeleteDo you still pull out the angry face
ReplyDeleteEvery day! ;0)
DeleteI'm guessing Bubba had a laugh while you were trying to get your head on straight. :)
ReplyDeleteYes. He's still having a laugh while I try to get my head on straight! ;0)
DeleteI have some early posts that never got comments. Maybe I'll re-post some of them during 2015. You seem to have your head on straight now.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
It's an illusion. My head is most definitely not on straight!
DeleteI'd love to read your old posts. You should post them.
Glad to read your old post mam
ReplyDeleteIt's one I think very few, if any, people read when it was first posted.
DeleteLOL, this is such a fun blast from the past! I think anyone would look angry after that much shaking... XD
ReplyDeleteAnyone except Bubba. He'd be smiling through it!
DeleteFun!! Glad you dug this one up. I did deserve another look!! :shakes head: That Bubba!
ReplyDeleteHe's a trip and a half!
DeleteWhat a fun family you have, enjoy them while they're young even if they do make fun of you. Great read Sherry.
ReplyDeleteThey're getting older fast. My daughter is a teenager, and my son isn't too far behind.
Deletehaha I absolutely loved this. So sweet and funny!
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it.
DeleteHilarious. Great choice.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it.
DeleteYou should have told him it was a mom thing and that you have eyes in the back of your head :)
ReplyDeleteHaha! That would have been a good one.
DeleteOkay, technically the Deja Vu 2014 was supposed to be for post you made this year (because this is an annual event)...but this one was so good I'll let it slide. :) Thank you for re-sharing it today!
ReplyDeleteI guess I didn't read the fine print. I'll try to remember for next year. But you really should have one to dig anything out of the archives. It's kind of fun to read something from four years ago! Thanks for hosting the blog hop!
DeleteHaha, can't blame the angry face, I tried to shake my head after reading your post to imagine how that must have been like and it was not easy.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely hard on the neck!
DeleteToo funny. If the angry mama face had shown up sooner, you might have avoided that whiplash. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for a very enjoyable blast from your past!
Happy Deja Vu!
I'll have to remember that next time someone says my head is on backwards! ;0)
DeleteI haven't missed many of your Bubba posts, but I did miss this one. As usual, it made me laugh. Love that Bubba.
ReplyDeleteHa ha - an angry momma indeed :) Sounds like something my son would do.
ReplyDeleteMy son used to rearrange my hair all the time!
DeleteThat would make a daddy as mad as it would make a mama.
ReplyDeleteStill trying to figure out how he thought your head was on backwards... Cute post! I can just see the Angry Mama look. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Deja Vu!

Probably because my hair was on the wrong side of my head. You know how six-year-olds think.
DeleteImagine what he could have done with a Cousin It.
ReplyDeleteThat might be scary. LOL!
Deletethis is very funny thank you for the smile!!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it.
DeleteOh, I miss those conversations. Even my grandkids are too old. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying my kids while there still young. They'll be adults before I know it!
Delete:-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your precious memory.
You're welcome. Hope you enjoyed it.
DeleteLOL! If he'd seen the Addams Family, then he would've thought you were Cousin It. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays!
Haha! I bet I looked exactly like Cousin It!
DeleteWe have the strangest conversations with our children. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYes. Conversations with kids can be very interesting!
DeleteWe have so, so many old posts that never got a single comment. Glad to hear Bubba was still wildly creative even at 6. Most people would see a chiropractor, but head banging seems like a viable option too!
ReplyDeleteBubba has been wildly creative for as long as he's been on the planet!
DeleteYour posts are so awesome. I'd love to see some of them from the archives!
Haha, cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteAdorable. I love stories about our children! Happy Deja Vu Weekend!
ReplyDeleteSix is a cute age. My boys were the delight and trial of my life. I wouldn't trade them for anything. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's almost too bad that they have to grow up!
DeleteI loved my boys when they were that age, we never knew what was going to come out of the mouths next LOL! Not that I don't love them now of course, and tbh, they still surprise me - or maybe shock would be a better word :) x
