So yesterday was "hobby day" at the local public library. which basically means alot of old people showing off their 500 knitted hats,collections of ugly knicknacks etc. But for some reason the librarian really likes my oldest spawn and every year for 5 years she has invited him to bring his collection of owls to show off. Since she invites the big spawn she feels bad and invites the 2 as a tagalong. 2 has a small collection of stuffed moose ( Mooses,meeces,moosey?) So basically we pack up this huge collection of owls and the smaller mooses and off to the library we go. The old people love my kids they oooh and ahhh over them and their stuff, bring them cookies, and in the case of 1 they save little owl things to give to him. So this year there was another kid there. Now don't get me wrong I like kids. I especially like the smart funny ones. But THIS was the most annoying child I have EVER met! He spent the whole day waxing poetic about how great the star wars Wii game is the greatest game ever ( umm hello that spot belongs to Pac man DUH!) and how all this "NEW" star wars stuff is so cool. By the end of the first five minutes my eyes were glazing over and I was falling out of my chair. As the day wore on he continued to drone on and on and on like that. So after we were done,packed up and ready to go I pulled a dollar out of my purse and turned to my 1 spawn and said in a whisper " I will give you a dollar if you never ever ever ever act/talk/dress/imitate/think like that kid!"
Now he's going around imitating the little weenie kid right down to his facial expressions. I might have stepped right in that one. Never go up against a smart spawn when geek behavior is on the line!

It's not just other kids droning on and on that makes my eyes glaze over - my kids can generally accomplish that fairly quickly when they start a long-winded discourse on whatever they are fixated on at the moment. As another mom of 6, there are a lot of glazed eye moments at our house!
