The Many Faces of ME...Part 1

I am a man of many faces...and names, and plans, and stories, and songs.

One of my favorite things to do is display my different 'selves'. 

I go crazy when Mom pulls out the camera.

Lucky you--you get to see ALL of me,

but only a few at a time.

My cleverness would overwhelm you.

So, to begin, sometimes I am...

a Monster!

(Tommy likes to be scared by the Brady Monster, but Audrey cries. 

It's 'cause she's a baby. Everything scares her!)

a Smarty-pants!

(Ha ha! Mom says that all the time. It's funny because it doesn't make sense! 

My pants are not smart and they are not made of Smarty candies. Mom's are so weird.)

a Very Reverent Boy.

(This is what I look like in Primary and when I pray. 

I have trouble being Reverent most of the time, but I know Heavenly Father likes me to be quiet and listen sometimes.)

Stay tuned. 

I have LOTS more!

Friends

I have lots of friends. Some are real (like Thomas, Emma, Byron, and Johnny). Some are not so real (my Buddies and Jenny), but I like to pretend they are real.

My Buddies are my fingers. Yes, they've been around for a while and I mostly talk to them in the car. I get kind of lonely in the back of the car all by myself.

Jenny is my friend at school. I talk about her at home a lot and say I'm going to marry her, but I only see her at school. I have lots of boys to play with at school (Johnny, Milo, and Carter). But sometimes, when the real girls won't play with me, Jenny keeps me company. I don't understand why "the girls in my class don't like me"--I like everybody. Actually, some of them 'like me' (Nethra and Angelica), but I don't want girls who kiss me all the time! I wants girls who are my friends!

I have lots of pretend friends, but you know what? There are some places where I don't need pretend friends--Grandma and Grandpa's house, church, and at home. I have more than enough friends when I'm with my family.
See? I have a brother and a sister, a Mama and a Daddy. What else could a boy want?
