Healthy Competition or Character Flaw?

I’m going to let you in on a secret.  I’m really competitive.  Shhhhh.  Don’t tell anyone. 

Right now, my mother and husband are rolling around on the floor laughing. 

I’m competitive about weird things.  Often times, the other competitors don’t even know they’re in competition.   Sneaky, I know,  but it keep the odds better on my side, you see.

The latest incarnation of this nasty little character trait has shown itself in my daughter’s homework project.  I showed you all the outcome of the Flat Sassy endeavor.  Well, apparently the project turned out so well that the teacher has decided to expand on it.  Sassy came home asking for another address to send Flat Sassy.  I groaned.  It had been such a task trying to decide who to send her to last time, I didn’t know who to ask to participate in this round.  My uncle over at www.Newmexiken.com (only now he’s calling himself www.poorkenneth.com) had done such a fabulous job with his friend Donna, that now I was stymied. 

Let’s face it.  Flat Sassy’s trip to Washington DC had been a major hit at school.  Now who the heck was going to out do that?  And then serendipity smiled on us.  I have another uncle.  This one just sent out an email telling the family that he and his wife are heading off to Thailand for a month. THAILAND!!!  Yea!  When I explained the project he got right into it.  I can’t wait to see Flat Sassy at the temples and beaches of Thailand.

I’m am so gonna rule over those other moms!
