The Scorpion

Apparently, I have a new nickname. The Scorpion. My oldest dubbed me this one day last week. I'm not even sure what the offence was, but I did something that did not suit him and this was the meanest thing he could think of to call me. It may have been b/c I wouldn't let him have a gummy snack before lunch, or that I wouldn't let him wear his Batman costume before Halloween, or possibly that I made him take his sand filled tennis shoes off on the porch instead of inside. I can't remember but I do know that he "growled" at me, stomped his feet and then turned around and yelled "YOU'RE A SCORPION!!!!!!". After I pulled it together and stopped laughing I promptly sent him to his room to "get himself together" and told him it is not acceptable to call your mother names. He calmed down after a while, but now my whole family is calling me Scorpion. Go figure!

Oh Shelby! Sounds like the scorpion is a big enemy to Spider Man! Don't worry though. Ultimately, you will prevail!!!!!
