Lazy Luke Andrew Morton

I thought it was just a phase but boy was I ever WRONG! For as long as I can remember if we ask Luke to do something as simple as take a shower, brush your teeth, put your shoes on he comes back with one of the following excuses.

1. I'm itchy

2. I'm soooooo tired

3. My legs hurt

4. I'm thirsty

5. Ouch, your hurting me (this is when you are drying him off after a shower, he says that the towel hurts him because it is so dry) WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN? or when I am shampooing his hair or brushing his teeth.

We say that if he was a Garbage Pail Kid his name would be Lazy Luke.

So today after school Luke was walking home from the bus stop... (EIGHT houses down from ours mind you.) He looks at me and says, "mom, can we move to a different house on Heritage Green?" I asked him if he meant Druid Hills and he said, "yes". I asked him why and he told me that he does not like walking that far from the bus stop. I could not help but laugh and grab him and hug him and carry him into the house laughing.

That boy cracks me up. I am going to go ahead and apologize to my future daughter in law NOW because I do not allow him to be lazy :)
