A Guest Post. By Colt.

6.13.2012

So after Gunner guest posted last week, and after all the positive comments he received, he has been walking around the house with his chest out and nose upturned, kinda like he owns the place. Of course, he has been incessantly bragging to his brother about how "all mommys friends like him best" and how "better" he is now that he has a book deal in the works.

So Colt came to me and demanded to write a guest post of his own.

Apparently, second children have something to say also...

******************************************************

Hi. My name is Colt.

Photobucket
As you can see, I have no pants on, and I'm soooooo cold right now. Someone call CPS!

You may recognize my little legs in the above picture, seeing as how mommy tweets and instagrams a billion pictures of me without clothes on. She says I like being naked. Let me ask: do you like being naked? Outside? In the cold? It's not the best feeling in the world. I can't talk much yet, but if I could, I would say "the hell, woman? Put some damn pants on me!"

I mean, really. Too much to ask?

It probably is. Considering the social status I currently hold in the house. Talk about being second rate. It's always "Gunner this" and Gunner that," and then when or if she does remember that she birthed a second child, I might get a few leftover scraps of macaroni and cheese.

I loooooooooooove macaroni and cheese.

Back to my brother.

Why does the oldest have to act like that? Like he's all high and mighty, and that his shit don't stink. I've smelt it, and trust me, it stanks. It doesn't matter what toy I had first, if he wants it, he's gonna get it. It has to be alllllllll about him or he will make my life hell. His way or the highway. Selfish, that's what firstborns are.

I think that mommy is a firstborn.

Explains a lot.

Oh, and by the way mom? I hated my long curls. I'm glad granny cut it off when you and daddy went on vacation. I know you have plans to grow it long again, but make no mistake...as soon as I learn how to use the scissors? Your precious curls are going down.

Boo-yah.

Oh, and one more thing? When you hear me in the monitor at 6 am? I'm ready to get up. I know you like to brag to all your girlfriends how "both your kids like to sleep 'til 9," but I only sleep 'til 9 because I get bored after 2 hours of doing nothing in my crib, so I drift back to sleep.

You just wait 'til I can crawl out of my crib.

I'll wake you up by smacking you with the pancake paddle.

Get up sugart*ts and make me some breakfast!

Like daddy says...maybe instead of drinking half a fifth and staying up late watching "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant," you could get up with my early cries and sweat it out on that dust machine aka the Treadmill.

That ass ain't gonna work itself out...

................................

It's late.

I gots to go to bed.

My mom is MIA so can one of you sweet sugar britches adopt me?

Please?

I'll reward you with long walks in the park and a few sips of my juice box.

Not to be mistaken with my macaroni and cheese.

Don't touch that.

Or I'll go all firstborn on your ass.

  4. Colt, I know exactly what you're talking about. First borns think they rule the world. They don't, we just let them think we do. It changes soon when you get taller and bigger than them.

    As for Gunner being mom's favorite, I highly doubt it. I see more pics of your naked behind than Gunner in my Instagram, just saying.

  5. I meant " we just let them think they do" but I think you know what I meant since we have a connection and all.

  7. I wonder what is the appropriate amount of time to let your kids cry in the morning before going to get them. Maybe I go in too soon. If I wait just a little longer maybe she'll go back to sleep until 9, that would be awesome, then I could back to drinking a fifth every night, I can't even handle a couple of beers anymore.

  8. Haha, These posts are too funny! Loved Gunner's appearance in your blog yesterday. Your boys are too cute!

  9. HAHAHAHAHA Colt, you made our days. I'm the second in line and the best thing about being the "baby" is you get anything you want. More mac and cheese ... all yours. You gotta master the fake cry so during these 2 hours of boredom, start flooding your eyes with tears and learn to belt it out!

    Loved this and I'm thinking we'll all be requesting more guest posts by you!

    P.S. I'd adopt you!

  12. Oh Colt, you are too much kid....too much! I mean you called your mom out on quite a few things here but hey I guess the truth comes straight from the kids mouth...I don't know who to believe anymore!!! Also, I am the baby of the family and trust me, being the baby of the family works out SO much better in the long run....you just have to work on your fake cries and blaming things on your brother, etc... It will come in time, you are kind of a little dude yet but you will learn soon enough and then it will be more like "Gunner who"!!!

  14. This.IS. PRICESLESS!! I love it, Colt is awesome! I'm the baby of three && let me just say, what it seems like they get all the attention, you can just sit back and watch & learn. They wil mess up... A LOT as the years go && you just take it all in. Older siblings are the best teachers! :)

    Awesome post, Raven - loved it!

  15. Raven... I'm CRYING over here. Seriously I have read this about 5 times, it's too damn funny.

  16. Hahaha!! Someone finally calls you out on your kids sleeping until 9!! Wait until gunner starts getting him up, or he does himself. If he weren't afraid it was a big black pit below him (since he can't see a thing) he probably would already! =)

    Colt you are just as cute as your big brother. Just wait until you grow a little more the first born will be talking about mommys boy. I know I'm the youngest of my sisters and they always said not fair that I hit my way because I was the youngest. Good luck. I'll adopt you if need be. Zaiden would love you.

    Now go off and DON'T put pants on your kids. They've got the rest of their ever-loving lives to wear pants lol
