- Don't give me the option of going to school or not. I'll opt to stay home every time. After three days off, however, I'll realize that playing with other 9-year olds is actually more fun than hanging out with babies and grown-ups.
- I will be extremely disappointed that my 22-month old cousin gets to come with me and Uncle Joe to the Jazz basketball game. I will make this apparent while getting off TRAX and requesting that we talk about grown up stuff instead of baby stuff like choo-choo trains all night.
- Sleeping in the basement is a little creepy. "It might not seem creepy to you, but if you were my age, you would think it's a little scary too."
- I would MUCH rather sleep on the couch than in a nice big bed in said creepy basement!
- When you pack my lunch, I will inform you that all I eat are cookies and fruit snacks. When you suggest maybe a sandwich and banana, I'll say, "OK...I guess you just want me to eat something healthy. I guess I'll save the cookies for later."
- I'll try to take toys to church. When you suggest leaving the Transformer home, I'll say, "I know I can't bring toys to church! I was just testing you!"
- I will make Parker laugh. He will ask for days after I leave, "Where 'Spetter' go?"
- Balloons are just as entertaining for me as they are to my little cousin.
- I am all about follow-through! If you say we're going to do something, we'd better do it!
- I really am good with babies. Let me hold her...she really will stop crying!
- Don't freak out when you can't find me at school. I forgot that you were picking me up and took the bus instead! Oops!
- I live for Parker's nap time as much as you do! It means I can watch the Cartoon Network!
- When asked if I miss my parents and siblings, I will respond, "Well, sorta. But not too much because I know they'll bring me a really cool souvenir!"
Thanks for the fun week, Spencer! We loved having you!
