Okay, my kids are warped. I admit it. While my daughter would like to go to Disneyland, her vacation destination of choice is Hawaii or New York City, my son has announced that he wants to be an alien like E.T. and both of my kids think pulling weeds is fun.

Because the kids are having fun with yard work, my husband and I decided to get gloves and another weed puller for them. I was a normal child who understood that yard work was not fun. Think about it, the last part of yard work is work!

Somehow this chore has become fun for them. Don’t get me wrong, I am enjoying the fact that my kids want to pull weeds. I just don’t understand it. They honest-to-goodness begged to pull weeds tonight after dark. Okay, well that WAS a ploy to postpone bedtime, but come on!

So I have to wonder, my son mentioned wanting to be an alien. He asked if he could breathe in space if he was born there. He asked if aliens get fleas.  Was he asking questions to throw me off track?  Maybe, just maybe, these warped kids who like to pull weeds are aliens!

I guess I better check the backyard for pods.
