I should just rename this blog. Because its pretty much just that...the tale of Eli. Maybe my other kids are boring, you think?They're not....in fact far from it. They all ooze personality. It just seems that Eli is the one that warrants the most attention....attention of all kinds! :)
Tonight my mom was taking Eli on a sleepover to her house. Whenever my dad is gone, which is every other week, my kids fight for who's turn it is at grandmas. And, usually Eli tags along with whoever's turn it is because he's Eli, and my mom can't tell him 'no' when he begs. As it turns out, tonight belonged to Avery and Kenna...but they were deeply involved in a tv show and decided it would be worth forfeiting their sleepover. Hhhheeeeellllllooooo! My mom has the SAME cable as us. But oh well...their loss! And Eli was oh-so thrilled to take their place....all by himself.
My uncles still have some dogs that live at my grandma's farm. She's been dead an awful 6 years now...so the boys and my mother take turns going up there daily and feeding the pack of mangie muts! Yuck.(I've never liked these dogs....)On the way home from the farm mom told Eli maybe they'd go visit my uncle Tom. Eli squished his face up....and looked at mom suspiciously. "Is HE fat?" Mom chuckled, surprised. "No. Why?" Eli then explained that my dad had taken him to visit some 'fat' man with a dog one day when he was watching him. The dog's name is Bozo. Mom asked if Eli liked this man...he said no. Mom was trying to figure out who papa's fat friend is by a little game of 20 questions...so she asked about his wife...Eli told her, "Act-shoo-lee....I think she's dead."
A little while later my mom decides to play a little more with the fat friend tale...and asked Eli why he didn't like this man.
Eli: Because...he's fat!
Mom:(pretending to be wounded)Well....I'm fat.
Eli instantly knew what he'd done and recovered perfectly.
Eli: Ohhhhhhhhh......I LOVE fat girls!
Every day with this boy is a reminder that Heavenly Father has an incredible sense of humor. Its apparent in the things he does...and says...good and bad.
At least his dad is the skinny one. And....at least he loves fat girls....cause this one loves him to pieces!
