thinkin' about it thursday.

the paper boy.


we recently got a new paper boy.  no, we aren't subscribed to the newspaper, but we might start.  


the first contact with the new paper boy was with my SIL Ashley.  she was getting out of her car at my house and the 8, 9, 10? yr. old came up to her and told her he was the new paper boy and gave her his cell phone number along with his mom's cell phone number in case we ever needed anything.  he made it a point to tell her to be sure to call his mom's number because she was more reliable.  :)


the next monday we started getting a free 2 week trial of the newspaper.  so, one day, sometime after school,  I'm sitting in our living room with the shades open and I see the paper boy ride his bike ever so carefully up our sidewalk, to the corner of the house.  he leans on the corner of the house, straddles his bike, grabs a paper, winds up and baseball-pitches it to my front door four feet away.  all the while chattering to himself (pep talk, maybe?)  I try so hard not to laugh out loud until he slowly and ever so carefully backs his bike down the sidewalk to the driveway where he turns around and bikes on to the next house. 


the new paper boy is awesome - definitely one of the highlights of my day.  and I might, just might subscribe to the paper for my daily dose of the paper boy.  so worth it.
