Makin At Thirteen

You are our kind, determined, engineer-minded teenage boy!

You love to be funny and we really enjoy your comedic timing. (Most of the time...)

Your new-found love is remote control (RC). Mostly cars and boats for now but planes are on your short list as well. It has been interesting to see how this ties in with your project-mindedness as you tinker and fix them as they break.

You enjoy golfing and watching Husker games.

You much prefer audiobooks to reading a paper book and wear headphones much of the day listening to books. You are still a picky reader and would rather re-read than try something new, but we gradually work to add some more books to your list and you have recently found a new series you love. You prefer to stick with the genre of fantasy.

You prefer dairy and carbs and it's a project to get you to each much else. You have a bowl of goldfish daily. (Unless we tragically run out...)

You have acquired quite the Nerf collection and love a chance to battle with friends when you can.

Laser engraving is another hobby/project for you and you have made a few wood projects to sell.

You have your own playlist on Pandora and it is made up of all upbeat songs.

Quotable Moments:

E: You know what that's teaching you right?
M: (In a disgusted tone) Work ethic. (Big sigh.)

"I have a case of the Thursday's."

(Oregon trail activity...) "We definitely need whiskey."

"No dad, if you sit on Santa's lap you'll give him a ruptured thy bone."

"Except that her songs are a little repetitive. And drab."

"You could sand wood with your face!" (Brad's 5 o'clock shadow)

"I think I'm going to do a sugar fast today."

M: (seeing a neighbor with a dishwasher on the curb) Oooooooo!
E: No.
Lor: They are putting their foot down at the dishwasher.

E: The barista.
M: The bahoosta?

"Sorry, my fidget energy battery is overflowing."

"I mean, life is expensive."

(After a week of more whole-food eating...) "I have a whole new respect for those people in that book...when it rained only Brussels sprouts...a whole new respect."

"I might need to have some zen after the goldfish discontinuation."

E: I'm not sure I'm going to survive two teenagers.
M: You probably will. You're hearty.
