Jackson has a thing about touching. He touches everyone, all the time. He walks up to John and punches him for no reason, then runs away giggling. John does not think it’s funny, especially when he punches him in his boy parts. It happens on a regular basis. Jackson runs up yells, “WEINER!” punches John and runs away.
It’s really no wonder John thinks his little brother is a douchebag.
I’ve tried to stop Jackson from hitting John, but he has short-term memory loss. I think all 5-year-olds do. Plus, John antagonizes him a little. By a little I mean a lot. John antagonizes everyone in this house a lot. Today Taryn tried to tell him a funny story. He listened politely and said, “Taryn, pick a number. Now square it. Now multiply it by zero. That’s how much I care.”
If it was socially acceptable I might punch him for fun once in a while.
Tonight, Jackson threatened to punch me. I told him to drink his milk. He made a karate chop gesture and a weird sound he learned from Kun Fu Panda and said, “I will punch you!”
I said, “Jackson if you touch me I will spank your hiney!”
He calmly lowered his hands. He walked over to me. He said, “whoowaaahhh!”
Then he tapped my cheek with one finger.
I laughed. Seriously, what else could I have done? He’s funny. He’s evil and the source of major damage to my psyche and my liver.
But he’s funny, so he might be my favorite.





hahaha! What is it about 5 yr olds wanting to beat up their big brothers? Happens here too. also i would probably lose my shit laughing every time he yells “Weiner” before a punch. in case you were wondering I’m classy like that.
I’m classy too, that’s why we get along so well.
John might want to consider wearing a cup.
Good idea, I’ll let him know you said so:)
Jackson is hands-down infuriatingly adorable!
I pray for Taryn to have lots and lots of patience for John!
Infuriatingly adorable is exactly right!
Haha! That’s just too funny! Jackson, we love you!! I would’ve laughed my head off too.
And that t-shirt!??!!! Do they make that in my size ??
It’s from Target! I wish it came in my size too!
Cutie pie! Can’t stay made at that face!
I can…some days.
He is funny, no doubt.
Funny and annoying all in one.
Bwahaha! Oh Jackson reminds me sooo much of my Lane.I would’ve lost it right there at the dinner table.
I have. One many occasions.
Jackson’s undoubtedly my favorite too, but I wouldn’t mind more Reese stories…
I’d tell them if I had them. He’s recently decided to stop wearing underpants. That might play out in a funny way some time soon.
Right now, he’s my favorite too.
By the way, I tell my kids all the time I have favorites. And they are constantly changing.
Like, for example, the one who can get me a cookie the fastest. Right now.
FAVORITE!
Duh.
Xo
My favorite is always the one who gets me stuff. That usually means I don’t have a favorite.
Playing favorites is fun! Especially if you’re fickle – like me. I switch all the time…then again, my choices are limited to two.
Maybe you should have a couple more.
LOL. Yeah you can’t really be mad at that silly face can you?
Yes, I totally can – but it’s hard.
Haha! I would’ve laughed, too! I have a favorite….it changes all the time…good thing I have 4 to choose from!
. I love them all. Fiercely! But there were times….I’d have traded them for a good bottle of vodka! Love that Jackson,!
Hahaha! Yep, I’d trade mine for a good bottle of wine sometimes!!
haha!!! he got ya!!! boys…my 4 year old is in a booby punching phase.
Good luck, that one lasts a long time.
I love him so much. I challenge him to a snark-off. Please kiss him for me. That face just dares one to kiss him.
He would totally kiss you. He’s a real ladies man. Then he’ll punch you and run away laughing.
Little naughty kids are funny and so cute. i can’t help but laugh at the things they do
I think he would be a good match for my youngest.
OMGgg,
that face says it ALL!!!!!
