And you gotta love him for it!
The Smart One, that is.
He has the ability to crack you up.
He'll walk into a room, thrilled, because he's learned to do yet one more weird thing with his body.
I'm talking about him walking in to the room, so proud, because not only can he fold his tongue in half, now he's found some other weird way to roll it. It kind of looks like a bowl. I can't do it. He tried to teach me once; I thought I was going to suck my tongue down my throat and choke in the process!
He loves to run up while I try to hobble down the stairs and have me hold on to his shoulders so we can dance our way down in a conga line. Well, he dances, I hobble.
He loves to sing all of the "Free Credit Report.com" songs.
He's a huge fan of origami. I'm talking it's an obsession! And he's good at it! He's also good at Etch a Sketch.
He has his young cousin calling him the genius. His older brother is slightly bothered at how he just knows things.
He actually knows what DNA stands for; and can even spell it out!
He's amazing with nun-chucks. I don't know how he manages not to hurt himself!
Did I mention he cracks me up? Last night, B-boo was showing me her dance for dance try-outs at school. The Smart One wanted to show me his dance. I reminded him that he doesn't have a dance. He insisted he did. He was so insistent, I caved and told him to show me.
It's amazing how fast he can come up with something…and move his skinny little body in such a laughable way. Yeah, he had a dance. I was hysterical.
And he never stops. Well, except when he's asleep. And please don't wake him. He's NOT funny, when he's been woke up from his beauty sleep.
Just now, he walked into my room. He asked me to look at what he could do. And then…
he proceeded to stand in place and flop his arms back and forth like rubber bands trying to take flight…
because he wanted me to hear how funny his bones sounded when he does that because they can pop.
And then, he lies down on the bed and crawls under a blanket and moves really, really fast; because he wants to see if he can create sparks from electricity.
You see, his brain never stops working. He's always trying to come up with some new invention. He doesn't take "no" for an answer. And he rises to the challenge. For instance, he was once offered $20 by his oldest brother if he could lick his elbow. The Good-Looking One thought it would be funny watching him try, because he knew it was impossible.
He was wrong. The Smart One took the twenty bucks!
Yes, he is most definitely unique.
