So muttered my newly minted 13 year old. (sigh) I asked her if she really thought life would be easier at Aunt Skinny’s. She’d have to share a bedroom with not one sister, but TWO cousins, and boys to boot!
Little Miss Happypants rolled her eyeballs at me. Then she informed me that Aunt Mouse and Aunt Paulie Precious would ALSO be more fun to live with than me. (Yes, I also had a weird nickname growing up. No, I’m not telling it to you.)
Well alrighty, then.
One moody teen for sale! Come one, come all! Mouse, Paulie, are you listening? Get your non-disciplining, non-chore delegatingĀ selves over here and don’t forget to bring the overflowing wallets! I’ll have her packed and ready to go, attitude and all.



Hey if you find a buyer let me know, maybe they would like my eye-rolling teen as well!
Why do you think Dylan goes to Jim and Shell’s every week-end? They are the fun aunt and uncle! Lol!
(looks at her watch) How much longer before they outgrow this stage again?
8, maybe 10 years.
Hey Kell, you can send her my way! I totally disagree with you in that I KNOW all my nieces and nephews are little angels!!!!!
Duly noted, Paulie. I’ll alert the other sistas and we’ll ship ALL the little dearies your way!
8…10…YEARS? (gulp!)
WooHoo! Just a Mom–I think we have a taker!
I’m packing her bags right now!
