With Clay's long (awaited solo) "thingy" almost upon us, and as we each wait in breathless anticipation for our own turn with it, ahem...him... the tour I mean, oh well, you know... some of us at LBFCA are still pondering the following curiosities…
Will HE, our simple, Freckled Stallion© a.k.a. little Teacozy©… Buttercup©… and Downy Ball©… be able to maintain the genuineness, the sincerity… and the HUMILITY of the boy we all fell in love with Once.Upon.A.Time?
Will HE, while being clamored about by millions of RIPE women from coast to coast (ok… maybe not California…), be able to refrain from getting too overly big headed… and start referring to himself by such titles as Mr. Sugarpants©… MY Royal Hottness©… The Cinnamon Stick©… and (omg) last but not least… The Prez©???
And MOST of all… Will HE remember… where he comes from?…
Hmmmm...
But then the worries quickly abate as we recall those memorable words of advice spoken by a famous “Mama” some months ago as he was right on the brink… the verge… the EDGE… of his… becoming. And those words were… “Stay grounded… and know where you come from… and remember that last year we drove a 1983 Chevrolet Malibu… and look where we are NOW!!!”
And as you know, Clayton ALWAYS listens to his Mama…
(Oops sorry… wrong Mama… hang on a sec while I go check my notes…)
And while you’re waiting… please feel free to indulge yourselves in a little pictorial, which I’ve entitled… “He Definitely Knows Where He Comes From…”
See?… no memory lapses here.
And still… 99.9% “PURE”.
It’s OBVIOUS he loves that little guy!...
…not only for teaching him all the BASICS learned in Kindergarten…”
… but for instilling in him a sense of patriotism... and a deep respect for ole' Glory…
… along with a “Fashion Sense.”
You think I’m kidding???
HA!… I rest my case…
**Deep Thoughts…
(do you think he wears the diaper pin to remind himself, once again, of where he comes from?..)
And it’s reciprocal!… because the “little guy” loves the “big guy” just as much!
In fact, NOBODY BEFORE has ever come between this boy and his bat…
Or taken the time for a REAL “man to man”…
… like explaining to him that even the most seemingly innocent things might just come back to haunt him someday…
But yes, their times together have been good…
Though not completely lacking in sibling rivalry…
But for the most part it’s all been in good fun…
So there you have it!
NOW AND THEN…
THEN AND NOW…
An indelible meshing of might, mind and spirit.
Inch by inch by inch… the past meets the Prez…
It’s just… All…About…Love…
… and coming together…
(MERCY!)
But we were talking about something else, weren't we???
Something about...a Chevy Malibu, I think…
…and good riddance!… Because SOME things of the past are just well best forgotten.
Time to HIT THE ROAD again Boyz!…

Thanks to:
*ClayNation ~ for providing us with more Clack than we could ever possibly know what to do with…
*Julie ~ for all of her help and suggestions and for selflessly loaning me “The Boyz” for an evening… in the spirit of “research” of course.
*Jill ~ for finding the “fugly baby” pic for me eons ago… and for other things unmentionable...
*My dear friend KC ~ for the diaper pin idea...
*A lovely member of the CBN ~ who was working on a “similar” project simultaneously... unfortunatly for me she was a little bit quicker. Still, witnessing HERS was incredible. It's amazing how we must ALL be of the same might, mind and spirit… kinda sorta?… And besides… "It’s not a competition."...(CA)
*Clay’s Family ~ for these beautiful words of advice and encouragement that sparked this whole idea in the first place…
