Ed, Edd and Eddy

Ed, Edd n Eddy are three friend with the same name who were constantly trying to scam their friends for money so they can pursue their mission: buying jawbreakers.  I was amused as their plans always went haywire.  My boys (and I) loved this cartoon.

So why am I telling you about this?

I see uncanny similarities with these cartoon characters in comparison to my own three boys.

Ed is into monster movies, always has a green jacket on and is easily talked into any hair-brained scheme.

Ahren watches 'The Walking Dead' (a Zombie series on TV).  Wore a green army jacket for 5 years. Never took the darn thing off! He has always been an impulsive boy who acts first and thinks later.

Edd (better known as Double D) is smart, very quiet and yet unnaturally polite.

Zachary is improving in school and has blown me away with A+ grades in Physics! He is not as vocal as my other two boys and keeps more to himself.  He is very polite and respectful towards adults and teachers.  Not to mention, Zachary wears a hat like Double D.

Eddy is the mischievous schemer who loves to be the center of attention.

Brandon… what can I say. He has been that same mischievous little boy who absolutely needs to be the center of attention!

Of all the TV family series out there, like 'The Waltons', 'Eight is Enough', and 'The Brady Bunch', … my boys had to be grouped with 'Ed, Edd and Eddie'??  But ya know what?

I wouldn't change a thing!
