Notes From the Trailerhood

While in the car tonight, Shelby got a phone call from her BFF that she hasn’t seen in a while.  She is just chatting away and catching up on all the gossip from her old school. We all noticed the word ‘like’ was very prevalent in the conversation. Then Clayton decided to put in his two cents:

(mocking his sister) “Last night I was, like, so looking at my old yearbook.  And, like, I am seeing how ugly the other kids are.  And, like, I was so hotter than them. And, like, i was looking at myself now and I am, like, so much way hotter than I was then.”

At this point, Fiance and I can hardly contain our laughter. But it made Shelby mad, so we all quit.  But now Clayton thinks that he should become a comedian.  Then he informed us that since I was the funnier parent, we should team up and be a ‘comedian team’.  So now he is running around trying to write new material.

“Cuz, like, I don’t know where I get it.  It just pops into my head and it’s just so funny!”

So you’re saying it’s like a gift from God or something?

“Exactly!”

If his ego is this healthy at 7, the teenage years are really going to be something!
