Eight Things About Mom

Daisy the Curly Cat has this meme up on her blog and it's all about her Mommie. I thought that was cute so I decided to play along. Here is how it goes:

Each person links to the person who tagged them. Then each person posts the rules before their list, then they list 8 things about themselves. At the end of the post, that person tags and links to 8 other people and then visits those peoples’ sites and comments letting them know that they have been tagged, and to come read the post, so they know what they have to do.

Here are eight things about Mom:

1. Mom has been wanting something called a "baby" for a couple years now. She's always talking about it to Dad but I think he's like me: he doesn't understand why Mom wants a "baby" when she's already got me. What does that mean? I do not know. But it seems she was successful in brainwashing Dad and now they are trying to make one. She said to me this morning that she has to, like, study for a whole week or maybe two and then she will take a BIG TEST and it will tell her if she wins a "baby" or not. I say, "whatever, play my toys with me!"

2. Mom does crafts while she and Dad watch TV at night. She was doing something with big wooden needles and thick balls of yarn but now she's working on stuff with teenie tiny pokey needles and different colors of thread. One time, she made this for me:

Of course, I'm not a PRINCESS because I'm not a girl. So she changed it to PRINCE because that's what I am. Her Little Prince.

3. Mom has a green thumb! For real! I've seen it! Well, not really for real. That's just what Dad says about her. He says that means that she likes to grow lots of plants and she's really good at keeping them alive. Dad? Not so much. His thumbs are both skin-colored.

4. Mom has no brothers or sisters. Maybe that's why she likes MyLindsay (Dad's sister) so much!

5. Mom rides a motorcycle like Dad does. Hers used to be Dad's until Dad got a newer, bigger, and louder motorcycle. She took his quieter black one and put some Tinkerbell stickers on it and then called it hers. She rides all the time. GrandpaDave says it's "in her blood." I've seen her cut her finger and bleed sometimes and I've never seen any motorcycles in her blood so I think he's making that up. He rides a loud motorcycle, too, so I guess he can make stuff like that up.

6. When Mom was younger and got her first apartment all by herself, she went to the Dumb Friends League to get a cat. She visited with one kitty but then the Dumb Friends League had to call to make sure her landlord would let her really have kitties so she put the kitty on hold for a couple hours. When she went back to pick the kitty up they gave her a completely different kitty than the one she had visited with earlier in the day! Mom was so sad! She and my Grammy got mad at the people there and they ended up with what Mom likes to call "Buy One Get One Free" kitties! That's how I got my older sisters Nala and Ariel. It turns out that Ariel was the first kitty she wanted but they tried to send her home with Nala. In the end she got them both and good thing too because they are Sisters-And-Twins!

7. Mom's dad (GrandpaDave) is the one who gave Merlyn (Brudder) to live with us. GrandpaDave had some kitties of his own and two of them were Pixie-Bobs named Lacy and Harley and he made them take a test and have their own babies. Merlyn was one of those babies. GrandpaDave called him Buster and he was his favorite of the whole bunch but he couldn't keep him at his house because he had too many kitties already. So he begged MomDad to take Buster in to our house. Mom really wanted to but Dad was afraid Buster (aka Merlyn) would pee all over things. Mom and GrandpaDave promised Dad that he wouldn't but after he came to live with us, he did pee all over everything. It was nasty! I didn't like the smell at all and I generally like things that smell gross! Eventually Merlyn stopped peeing on things and fighting with the Girls and now we all live happy together without peeing inside (most of the time)!
8. Mom took a fun internet quiz that Candace showed her and the result was this:

Which Fantasy/SciFi Character Are You?

Possessing a rare combination of wisdom and humility, while serenely dominating your environment you selflessly use your powers to care for others.

Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.

Galadriel is a character in the Middle-Earth universe. You can read more about her at the Galadriel Worshippers Army.


Here are eight friends that I tag to do this meme about themselves or their MomDad's:
ScruffyButt
Kimo & Sabi (unless you guys did it already then you don't have to do it again)
Anastasia and Karl
Claire at TurtleHeart's Cove
Sorry, I only know these four friends. If you're not on this list but you want to do this, go ahead! Just please let me know here so I can come see your answers!

Oh, wow! I am so happy that your mom did this meme. It was very fun to learn all about your mom. And she seems very cool! I love that she rides a motorcycle and put tinkerbell stickers on it.
