For Sale

Each and every morning, the 10yr old tries to sell his 8yr old brother at the bus stop. He is willing to take almost anything in trade. A quarter, a pack of gum, even a half used pencil. At first I thought he was joking, now I am not so sure.

Last night after being sent upstairs to brush their teeth and put on their pajamas, I heard the boys rough housing. I went upstairs to get them back on track. When I walked in to the 10yr old's room, what did I see? The 8yr old was riding on the 10yr old's back saying "gitty up!". When he saw me, the 8yr old exclaimed "Look at me, I'm riding on a Jack Ass Donkey. That's a regular old donkey, you know."

If I was the 10yr old, I would try to sell him, too...

  6. Man, can I buy him? Sounds to me like he would fit in just so with my crew. I think I have some gum in my purse.... maybe even a few quarters. Does he accept Visa?

  9. This post is great! My brother talks about the craziness that his older sister put him through and I giggle but I am pretty sure that I was just as 'sisterly' (didn't wanna use a negative word) to my little brother.

  11. LOL! This brings me right back to my childhood. My little brother and I completely HATED each other! No one ever agreed to buy him from me, but I did convince him to pretend to be my sister, rather than a "stupid brother" for almost 2 weeks. That's another story though :p

  20. What?! Was he explaining that it was a donkey so he wouldn't get in trouble for saying jack-ass? I wonder if the 10 year old would trade the 8 year old for an actual donkey?

    Children: the blog fodder that keeps on giving.
