you know you are levi's mom when... part 2...


...you are introduced to the people in the dirt bike club by hearing these words around the welcome campfire, "my name is Levi, I ride a Honda and this is my mom, she doesn't cook."

...inside one of your living room walls contains an entire bag of marbles with the "shooter" plugging up the hole where wires once were.

...you give the third grade teacher a gift in hopes that she'll forget about the one your son gave to her while you were on vacation. 

...a former teacher wears a mood necklace and told you it was a gift from your son, who, upon giving the gift asked if she would wear it so that he would know what mood she is in.

...you leave the grocery store with a headache because of the hour spent sniffing deoderant so your son can smell just like his cousin.

...you go back to the store to buy spray deoderant after learning the little concave armpits don't work with the roll on deoderant that you found after spending an hour sniffing.

...the front of your house has new windows because your son was "helping his dad" and put a hammer through his bedroom window.

...you know that non dairy creamer is flammable.

...your smoke alarms are tested by the combination of hairspray and a candle. 

...rocks, screws, bullet casings and plastic things line the bottom of the washing machine after each load of laundry.

...your DVR is full of Discovery and History shows.

...the walls of the shower are covered in soap because in order to wash his back, he must first lather up the wall.

...you find your tent stake on the side of the house along with wire and a walnut and have to ask your son what he plans to do once he catches the neighborhood squirrel.

...you hear a confession but it's followed up by, "it's ok mom, it was before I knew the 10 Commandments."

...you research how to get a patent at the request of your son because of the idea that is coming to fruition on the garage.

...your son has been called MacGuyver by more than one person because of his creative ideas.

...you don't ask why he has the zip kicker and superglue out, you just hope nothing gets stuck together that shouldn't be stuck together.

...you know that a coffee stir straw, wire, sewing needle, 4 corners of construction paper, super glue and zip kicker can make a blow dart.
