It started a few weeks ago on our way home from karate. From the back seat, Jake said, in a world-weary voice, "There's Bob again."
Now you know about my concerns when it comes to Jake and these people he sees... So I looked around, trying to be nonchalant, and said, "Honey, where's Bob? And who is Bob?"
"There he is again, Mommy. He's everywhere."
"Honey, do you mean God?"
"NOO! Bob! B-O-B, Bob!"
Cut to this morning on the way to school.
"There's that Bob again, Mommy. I don't like Bob. He's in too many places."
And finally I get it. BOB, of course.
If you live in Guilford County, you've also seen Bob. He's on every street corner with his little blue signs (they read, "Bob Hinson," rather than "Bobby."). And my son doesn't like him.
In other news, Jake learned a valuable lesson yesterday. "Read more books, get free stuff." Jake participated in Read-A-Palooza with his school. It was a fundraising benefit for the Greensboro Children's Museum in which children read lots of books and adults gave lots of money. The more books a child read (or had read to him), the more chances he had to win door prizes. Well, yesterday the museum called to say that Jake won a week of summer camp! Woohoo! I honestly can't say who was more excited...okay, it was me. But Jake was also very excited. He picked out a camp, we signed him up, and yay, that's one more week of summer camp for us!

That's great! Caila was so mad because she didn't get to participate in that because of us leaving. She said, "But Mommy, I read all the time so I'd definitely win something good!" LOL.
LOL...Poor Bob! I think I know Bob too. Is he related to Erica?
