The Evolution of a Meltdown
OK, first of all this whole incident started with a voice booming from our back room, “No way!! BC You CANNOT wear that!!”
I say, “Hub, I usually let BC dress himself.”
“Uh, Nette? He ‘s wearing tights.”
At that exact moment I was taking a sip of my tea.
My tea ended up all over my end table. Hub and I laughed until I almost peed. Then I asked BC to pose for a picture.
This is what I saw:
Just as I snorted, it’s the German in me-my mom says, eClaire pushed BC out of the way to say, “Ohh look at me, I’m sooooo cute.“
BC then eeked his way back into the picture to show me his HUGE muscles. And his tights. For the record, those “tights” are just long socks pulled up above his knees. His favorite way to wear them is with a pair of shorts and his Lightning McQueen Water Shoes… Zexy, I know!
Then eClaire is all, “Oh but I’m not just cute. I’m funny too! Look! Look! I’m FUNNY, Damn IT.” Well, she might not have said Damn It today.
And then she was all, “BC touched me!! He looked at me sideways, and I don’t like him.” I rolled my eyes.
And she was like, “DON’T LOOK AT ME BC!! You ruined my life!! Why did you have to be such a pain in the butt brother!!???” Ahem.… excuse me. I may be channeling my own sibling angst here… I digress. Hi Uncle J… love you!
And then BC’s all, “OH NO SHE DIN’T“
And then eClaire decided she had enough, “MOMMY!!!! Waaaaa! Why are you laughing?? It’s NOT FUNNY!“
Aaaand Scene.
On a more positive note, when BC was asked to get a sweatshirt because it was still a bit chilly outside, he ran into his closet to get his favorite sweater.
Ya.
Bwhaahaahaa!! A future in fashion? I think not. Hey, at least he pulled his socks down, at Dad’s request!

I love it! I think I might pee my pants. You have to save this and show it at their weddings

A future in fashion — probably not
but what a funny story-in-pictures this was! Sibling rivalry is something, isn’t it. And the way every big excitement is just another brewing meltdown.
Thanks for the mid-morning smile.

This post was hysterical! I loved it! BC is a trend setter. Sam has the exact same shoes and doesn’t want to wear anything else.On Sunday, he dressed himself in an orange gecko shirt, light blue wind pants, Thomas socks, and his red Lightning McQueen water shoes…for church. Yup. He was so proud of himself.

It is a bold fashion statement.
The ongoing love/hate between older brothers and little sisters…

A little Sound of Music moment, huh?
Very cute.
By the way, I tagged you for a Meme — not sure if you do them, but it is my first time, so please be kind.….
