My Son's Newfound Love of Alliteration
Oh dear. I have ruined my son. My son is made out of Awesome. He is just like his mother. Not only does he crave order, controlled chaos, predictability… (but not cake — what’s that all about? I digress…) — he also loves alliterative titles…. Just like his Mama. You know this about me… Let’s just review my week of alliterative observances:
- Make Me Laugh Monday here on my blog
- I simply adore Two for Tuesdays at a local coffee shop… That’s just smart.
- Let’s not overlook Wait, What about Jenny! Wednesdays
- Thippin’ Thursdays – water or whatnot… I prefer the whatnot.
- Jenny is “Fabulous” Fridays
- So… Jenny is So, So Awesome Saturdays
- and let’s not overlook — Jenny is Super-deee-duper Sunday
I am an alliterative fool, I tell ya. And my little apple of a son has not fallen far from his Mams tree. Lately, the boy is all about planning our meals based on alliteration.
Mom! It’s Mexican Monday!!! Milkshake Monday! Taco Tuesday! Soup Saturday!
He has had so many suggestions, I simply cannot remember them all. And Sunday it all came to a head. He sat quietly at the kitchen table for lunch. His 6 year-old sister begged to have a coke with her lunch. I was all, “Psha! Whatever! No. Way!” And she was all, “But JOEL has a coke!”
Whutwhut?
“Joel!!! Why do you have a coke with your lunch? You didn’t even ask!”
He casually looked over his shoulder and answered so innocently and matter-of-factly that even the staunchest, most jaded judge would have let the criminal go,
It’s Soda Sunday.
*Blinking* It was just Soda Sunday and that’s how it was. Not bad. Not good. Just was. My husband and I just looked at each other… giggled… shrugged our shoulders, and let Olivia have her soda too. “Go ahead, Olivia… it looks like it really IS “Soda Sunday”.

Keep up on the ridiculous, the insightful, the always digressive…

You are an alliteration rock star.
That is great! And very clever of your son. I’m glad my son doesn’t read your blog. I totally could see him trying that. And succeeding.
I’m going to try this at home…what day rhymes with chocolate?
hehehehe. That’s awesome. Too bad I can’t work in a caramel day…that’s just poor planning on someone’s part.
Don’t let MY kids hear about Soda Sunday! They’d be all over that in an instant.
When I was growing up it was Soda Friday. We could have one bottle of soda (which we called pop) and that was to last us the whole night. But since it’s not an alliteration and doesn’t remotely pertain to this post, forget I mentioned it.
oooh, i can’t wait for michelob monday at work
I would like to propose Sangria Saturdays, which are always successfully preceded by French Fry Fridays.
He is the spawn of the wonders of wit.
Holy crappers! Keep him away from Oldman and Gremlin. I have enough problems on my hand. One hour of watching Food Network and now their dinner expectations have gotten ALL out of whack!
Your kid truly is made of Awesome. He wants his Soda Sunday, and dadgummit, he’ll HAVE it.
Here’s my weekly menu:
Magic Shell Monday
Taco Tuesday (why mess with perfection?)
Whopper Wednesday
Thirty Donuts Thursday
French Fry Salad Friday
Sinnamon Roll Saturday
Sprinkled Donuts Sunday
Duh. Soda Sunday. Can’t believe you didn’t know that. I am all about the alliteration also.
Um…we don’t call them “sodas” here in Texas. They’re all Cokes. So…yeah….that’d be a problem here. But he COULD have Sweet Tea Sunday!
He knows how to work it! How could any parent say no to wiles like that? Score 2 for Joel
Sluys Donut Saturday!!! (or Sunday… or both) Yum, that place makes me happy…lol!
