Guest Blog: Band of Brothers

Baby E's back today. I'm very happy to have him here, watching over my castle while we relax at the beach. Please leave him lots of love. Here's Baby E from Good Day Regular People. If you missed his feature, just click here.

Hi. It's fun to be here again today. Yesterday I talked about being the President. And today Drama Mama asked me to write a story using the two words, "laughter and friendship."

This is fun to do. Here is my story.

OK, so. Oh, yeah. I made a dominoes class. And I'm charging 25 cents for 15 minutes of learning. And so, my brothers and father took the class. I like to do funny things that bring laughter to my family.

And like, really, really hard laughing. Like burst out laughing where your stomach hurts and you want to fall down or it feels like you want to go to the bathroom. Sometimes when my biggest brother makes up words to songs like "Eat It" instead of "Beat It" and says, "Grab yourself an egg and beat it.." I laugh till I feel dizzy and thirsty.

Also, it's kinda of weird cuz I have a friendship with my brothers, and so they are my friends of my own. My mom says I'm a very likeable person.

My family is friendly with each other, and we have laughter. And, also, I think my brothers are funny people. People being funny to each other is nice, and when I think of laughter it feels like I am having a good time and it feels like everything is with no problems and nice and you don't think about anything bad or about trouble. 

I have laughter with my brothers and have friendship with them.

Bye.

Individuality and Laughter

When Stephanie asked me to use these words for my post, I thought:  "Hmmmm okay...."  It seemed so hard at first.  But then I realized it is everything I hope to be.  And everything I hope to pass to my children. 

When I was a kid, of course I wanted to be popular as the saying goes.  I wasn't.  I was not without friends.  I had a lot of friends.  And they got me.  I could be myself with them.  I have a rather unique sense of humor.  I enjoy Monty Python, SNL, and the like.  The more off beat the humor the better.  I laugh at shows that shouldn't be funny.  Example:  If I am watching 24 (no longer on air! :( ) I laugh my butt off when the bad guys actually think that they are going to best Jack Bauer!  It's like a total joke and only a matter of time before he takes them out.  If you are a fan of the show, you totally get this.  If you aren't, well you just have to have to take my word for it that when the bad guys think they are more ruthless than him, well I can't help it.  I laugh at their stupidity!

I march to the beat of my own drum.  This makes me the individual I am.  And I hope it teaches my kids to be the individuals they can be.  I was never one to follow the crowd.  I went around school with a sock tied in my hair.  I wore two different colored socks on purpose.  I liked The Beatles (still do) and The Monkees (still do).  I was in drama.  Drama for me was the best place possible to be.  I fit right in with those people.  It was my little corner of the world where I felt I belonged.

As an adult, I have learned I don't need to belong so much as I need to surround myself with people who share the same feelings, experiences and views as I do.  I really am enjoying digging my heels into the blogging world.  There are so many amazing women out there who are artists, writers, photographers, mothers, friends, daughters,  and sisters. 

Each of my children are their own little person.  They bring laughter to me everyday...and frustration.  But I do cherish the laughter.  And the best part of the joy and fun they bring is when I can share it in the blogging world. 

Thank you Stephanie for featuring me!  I think you are DYN-O-MITE!
