96 Teardrops...

I'm not a crybaby. I'm really not...

...however, it's the first day of school and the big yellow bus drove right by my house! Doesn't anyone care about how badly I want to go to school? I guess not.

I'm what you might call a "wet mess" today.

Owen, I've never seen you cry. That dumb bus anyway.

[Owen K. Says To G-Ma]

G-Ma: I'm soaked and I need some tissues. Thanks.

[The Grandfather H]

Owen, want to set up your lemonade stand or something today? Come on, it'll be fun.

[Owen K. Says To The Grandfather H:]

Grandfather H: Nope. I'm busy writing a letter to Margaret Spellings, the U.S. Secretary of Education.

Owen K.

I've never seen you in this light before and I must say, you're still handsome.

But about school, I spoke with Margaret Spellings already and she told me that you couldn't be enrolled this year because she didn't want the other kids to feel "dumb." A five month old taking over the school and getting straight A's wouldn't do much for their confidence. Take this year off to relax and maybe next year you'll be allowed to enroll!!

By the way, do you need a tissue for your issue??

[Owen K Says To auntie Leesh:]

Auntie Leesh: You always seem to give me good advice, Auntie. Ok, since the reason Marge gave you makes sense, I'll dry up and let it go until next year. After all, I'm all about maturing, you know.

Regarding the "tissue for my issue" - I'll have to remember that one. It seems to put crying in a much better light :)

[Mommy]

Maybe you can come with Mommy for Take Your Son to Work day?

That would be fun!!!

Tissue for your issue....moahahahahaa. Auntie Leeshie is way too much :)

[Owen K Says To Mommy:]

Mommy: You mean you "work" at the school???? I thought you were still trying to grad-ge-ate.

Mommy, I think Auntie is pretty funny, too. I call her sayings ...LeeLeeisms.

owen k.-you are even cute when you're crying-we all know how smart you are but you need to enjoy being a little boy before you get on that yellow school bus-if you had to go to school today,i wouldn't have had the pleasure of spending the day with you-don't tell mommy and daddy about the cheese balls.

[Owen K Says To Aunt Nat:]

Aunt Nat: Who cares about school anyway? Not Owen K. Bentley.

I had big fun at your house today. As always, I enjoyed staring at your husband, too!

As for the cheese balls? You know what I like the best about cheese balls, Auntie? The fact that my little fingers turn orange and when I suck on them they still taste cheese-ful. Mums the word though :)

[Toothfairy]

I thought I gave you good advice. Clearly I was mistaken!

[Owen K. Says To Toothfairy:]

Toothfairy: Not to worry Toothfairy. I only munch on the new and improved cheeseballs. You know, the ones that are dipped in fluoride.
