It went a little something like this:
Mommy: Stay outside and play!
Jackson: I wanna come inside!
Mommy: No. Your options are - pool, or you may sit on the couch with a book and stay quiet.
Jackson: Can I play on the internet?
Me: No. Your options are ...yadda yadda (of course I didn't really say yadda yadda. I'll teach him that in a few years.)
Jackson: Can I play the wii?
Me: No. I need you to either a... or b...
Jackson: WHY DO YOU NOT WANT ME TO USE ELECTRICITY!?! i REALLY WANT TO USE ELECTRICITY!!!
What's funny is - It reminded me then and there of the story Mama & Pa love to tell about Aly and how she LOVED drinking their drinks - And how she must've heard a certain excuse one too many times when she started demanding, "MAMA, I WANT TOO MUCH CAFFEINE! TOO MUCH CAFFEINE MAMA!!!"

Oh Leah... another fabulous and funny story.
Why did I not listen and record the funny things my children did when they were younger?
I am having a hard time remembering.
Which shouldn't surprise me... I can't recall what I did yesterday.
Glad you have this documented.
I am off to use some electricity and drink too much caffeine!!!
The funny part to me is while Aly was bouncing off the walls wanting "too much caffeine", my beautiful curly-headed blonde baby girl was sitting on the sofa- quietly playing with Barbie dolls and watching her sister run around the house like a bat out of h... usually with only one shoe on.
Joella and Emily would have been changing clothes for the umpteenth time- Joella would have beads around her neck, and Emily would be putting make-up on all of you!
I would have been on the 4th load of clothes by now on a Monday morning. But I definitely wasn't going anywhere because I didn't have a car!! Like they say on the commercials, "PRICELESS."
Love you, my calm- deliberate- methodical- loving- and wonderful little mama!! You make me smile.
oh me, i am tickled! A typical Hancock story!
You know... I did grow up to become a Mary Kay lady! All those make-overs sure did pay off! ;)
FYI - I only wear make-up on Sunday!
Although I'm not ready for Landon to grow up, I can't wait to have stories like this!! Also, thanks for the offer to stop in Rolesville. We may take you up on it sometime!!
That is hilarious! I told Troy the conversation between you and Jackson, we both know that is something that Rodney would totally say when he was younger. We just laughed!

oh so funny!
I still want too much caffeine.
