We all know Aubrey thinks The Boy Next Door is a cutie-patootie, because he IS. This afternoon he and his little sister came over to play outside with us for a little while and there was so much flirting going on I could hardly keep a straight face.
The Boy Next Door climbed on top of our play set and jumped to the ground, provoking many Ooos and Ahhhs from my girls. After jumping from the unseemly height of 36 inches lost its shock factor, The Boy Next Door went to get his bicycle so he could show us his crazy bike skillz.
But once again, after the initial Ooohs and Ahhhs, the girls lost interest and began playing among themselves again. So, The Boy Next Door went totally primal and started talking about killing stuff.
TBND: I killed two ducks today. And one time I (warning, this is a bit graphic) ripped the heads off of 5 ducks with my bare hands. I had fur and blood all over my hands.
It worked.
Aubrey turned around in awe and asked, “How OLD are you?”
TBND: I’m six, and I do dangerous stuff.

Oh my, Robin. Could it be Aubrey's falling for the "Bad Boy"? The one who's wild and free and nobody understands? Oh well, I guess it's best she gets it out of the way early.
Robin says
Jodi, there are NO WORDS for how cute this little boy is! Like he is so cute, it ALMOST makes me want to have another baby in hopes of having a boy. And THAT my friend is CRAZY talk!
Cade and Cora says
That is hilarious! I will say from personal experience with my 6 year old boy, the more attention they're getting…the more elaborate the tales become (although I am not sure I've ever heard Cade talk of killing things with bare hands…yet!)
Paige says
I wish my husband would have come on to me with such a fantastic line! I'm pretty sure I would have married him much sooner!
It's way too hilarious!
Winslett says
hahaha…it has been too long since I caught up on my Robyn's Chicks reading. I am loving this! My boys L-O-V-E the word "dangerous" and use it any chance they can. boys & girls = different worlds! And growing up with no brothers, you can imagine how I could just eat them up they are just too cute!
Winslett says
p.s. wish you & your cute little chicks were still next door to us (and I actually new you were here!) how is Mississippi? you all settled?
Robin says
Very different worlds for sure! I am IN LOVE with TBND and my best friend's little boy, they are so cute and funny in a way that my girls just aren't! So much fun, and TBND is definitely a bad boy!
