Stuff my son says.

Jack is full of gems lately….my least favorite of which is “Mom, stop talking on the phone!!!!”. This usually said at top volume while I am in fact on the phone.

We started going to HEB after co-op sometimes. On one trip, the manager asked if Jack wanted a Buddy Buck. He showed Jack one of these fake dollars that you put into an old school claw machine. The robot arm picks up plastic balls each filled with a sticker. You get anything from 1-4 points per sticker. The idea is you save the stickers and trade them in for prizes. Awesome idea except you have to trade in anywhere from 100-250 points to get the crap. Not only will we never get that many points, Jack is now obsessed with getting Buddy Bucks. It’s all he talks about MTW afternoons. Sometimes I can coax him to tell me what the letter of the day was (R for Rat!) but he usually says “Hi mom, can we go to HEB now, yeah, mmhhmm.” (yeah, mmhmm is his new favorite way to end a sentence). So we’re on our way to HEB the other day and he says, “Hey Mom. Do the shake!”. I’m all, “the what?”. He says, “Mom, do the shake. The Buddy Buck shake”. And then he proceeded to shake it in his carseat.
