The 'Great Minds' Theory

 You know how they say 'great minds think alike?'


Well, I share a great mind with a special someone and we think alike in several ways... including how to spend our free time.


My mom introduced me to art. Hence, I adore anything that gets the creative juices running- 

drawing, crafting, just about anything along those lines.



More importantly, my mom introduced me to shopping.


Every once in a while, I love going to the mall... book shopping, clothes shopping, shoe shopping, even window shopping... 


Looking for the best bargains, the hidden treasures in secret parts of the shelves (like that dress that just happens to be on the wrong rack), and marking them for later are some of the best parts of it.


Much to my brothers' horror, going into the mall is never a one-stop trip- it starts out as one stop and ends up as fourteen stops. Yikes!


Writing now, I can see why they get frustrated, but what can I do?


It's just because I have a great mind.

The Copy Machine

  A big thank you to the lady who told me this story. She gave me a new view on babies thanks to an intriguing conversation. My little brother reached the stage that he copied everything that everyone said. As a result we were really, really, really careful. We once said poop in his presence and that comprised the majority of his vocabulary for one week! Back to the story. My mom always carried my brother with her to greet my dad whenever he came home from work. She always said "Welcome home honey" One day, as my dad came home, my brother broke free from my sister and I and ran up to our dad yelling "Honey! Honey! Honey!" at the top of his lungs. We were shocked. My mom was worried. My dad look faintly disturbed. How were we going to wean him off this?

The Sleepover Story

  'Mom, dad, can I sleepover at my friend's house next week?' 'Sleep-what? You can be with them all day, why do you need to sleep in their house? Why can't they come here?...' A lot more questions follow that. From the experience of teens, more often than not, parents believe that you should play out all day and come back to your house to sleep. It's not a bad philosophy.  You don't really lose out of not sleeping over at your friend's house. A huge pro is, when you are older, hopefully, you'll sleep in your own house most of the time, which is a great way to remain safe.
