Model Mayhem







Phew...Thursday already. This week is flying right by. I'm off to pick up my daughter who spent the last few days vacationing with friends. Take away one teen, and the house gets considerably quiet. My kids have become very close. It seems like just yesterday my son was driving his sister around in his plastic Little Tykes car. Now the two of them are cruising off in his mustang to the beach, windows down, music pumping, hair blowing in the breeze, and the energy of excitement that goes hand in hand with youth and summer days.

My son's summer job is at a popular retail clothing store. The position title for all of the teens and college aged kids who work in the storefront is Model.

Daughter: "Just cause you work there doesn't mean your a model."
Son: "It's the position title. It's says Model on the application."
Daughter: "You are NOT a model just cause you work there."
Son: "Well, they keep the ugly people out back."
Daughter: "OMG, you are NOT a stupid model."
Son: "O.k., let's get this straight..." proceeds to pull shirt off and flexes with a big sh** eating grin. We all die of laughter, and she decides to chase her brother around the kitchen with the spatula trying to spank him on the butt. Never a dull moment.

I think I will go see what "the model" would like for breakfast. What does the latest banter in your home sound like?

  6. Very cute......nice to see siblings close like that, don't you think? A friend whose youngest just went off to college said she even misses their many squabbles, she hates the quiet and I am right with her, don't know what I will do when my "baby" goes to college in a few years don't want to think about it! Our banter lately is mostly over everyone disagreeing about what to eat, where to eat and if they will accompany us on a trip we want to plan for August (so far we are 3 and 2, not great)! But I will take disagreements and occasional shouting with my three sons anyday over peace and quiet with none of them here!! Hope you had a happy 4th Debby.

  12. Oh, this sounds so fun! I will confess it makes me sad too since my baby is leaving for college! I don't think I will survive it very well! It was hard enough when my daughter got married ( my oldest son is also married) and then she moved out…she and my youngest son are so close! We ALL cried all of the time! Ok…enough of this! I will have to borrow my nieces and nephews to hear such fun banter again if I want it! Thanks for sharing a peak into your family! It sounds wonderful!
