This Is Why I'm So Smart

So, nothing really interesting has happened today except for about five minutes ago when I took off my headphones from listening music, and my mom was laying on top of my youngest brother saying, "I am NOT getting off of you until you say Wednesday! You need to say the days of the week."
I was slightly weirded out by this, and then I had a flashback to when I was learning the days of the week at his age.
Instead of laying on me, she just put catnip on my face and let the cat lick me until I completed the days of the week.

In the long run, I'm pretty sure it worked for my educaton. Of course she used that method for other lessons, and I think the only scars that I have from that method is randomly screaming when I see the continent of Africa, and having a nervous twitch every time I'm asked what 2+2 equals.
(Yes, I was homeschooled. Don't judge us, my family is probably the only one who teaches this way. Which is obviously the right way of teaching. Look at how I turned out.)

The art of pizza folding

A few minutes ago, I was really excited because we had leftover pizza from last night (Don't you judge me. You know you get excited over leftover pizza, too.) So I go into the fridge, and find a really small, rectangular container, which looked too small for pizza to be put into.
So, I take it out, and open it, and this is what I find.
Only my brother Rene could be able to do this...He folded the pizza, to make it fit in that container.
I'm completely baffled because we have at least fifty million containers (courtesy of my mom's storage habit..Or obsession. How ever you want to look at it is your choice.) that he can use to put pizza away!

HE FOLDED IT! It just makes me so mad, because the pizza is all crimpled!
I CAN'T EAT CRIMPLED PIZZA!! IT MUST BE PERFECT!
Stupid 9 year old..ruining my pizza...God has a sense of humour, because he made me related to Rene.

Sometimes, when I ask Rene to do something, like load the dishwasher, he'll be sitting on the couch going, "I...I JUST CAN'T! I'M TOO STRESSED!"
Then I'm like, "YOU WEREN'T STRESSED TWO SECONDS AGO WHEN I ASKED YOU TO DO THE DISHES! IT'S JUST iCARLY! You've seen all the reruns at least twice!"

And then of course I end up doing it dishes anyway.
