Warning to All Men

To the Men in Shawna's life, heed this warning:

If you are a man and my youngest child likes you, watch out. Shawna shows her affection to men by getting aggressive with them. Those men who know her, adore her. She quickly stole the hearts of her coaches on last years softball team. Not only is she cute, but she's sassy. Many stories get told around the campfire, so to speak, about Shawna's funny quirks and things she says. She was the youngest on the team and the only kindergartner so they gave her some slack as far as how many rest breaks she took.

Shawna: Coach Sam, I'm only here because my mother makes me come.

If she can access your hat, she's going to turn it around to face a new direction. Always.

Her Uncle Lulu (AKA Uncle Frank) antagonizes her on purpose. She adores him. He's known as Stinky Uncle Lulu because he always farts. At Easter all the kids ganged up on him. She was doing high kicks aiming at his butt. He was surprised by how high she could reach. She also aims for the frontal area on men. You know, the sensitive part. You need to be quick and alert with her around.

If she doesn't like you, she ignores you.

I'm sure she'll outgrow this phase, but in the meantime, I'm just sending out a warning. A dad at yesterday's soccer practice almost got bludgeoned by her because he wasn't paying attention as she was showing her affection. Luckily Todd saved him.

You've been warned.
