McCartney Jr. THE BOY o Timothy is a name of Greek origin that means, "To Honor God". o Greg Raposo once said about Timmy, "Every time Timmy comes to our rehearsals I ditch everyone to hang out with him. I think Timmy is like five years old. He's awesome." o Timmy was a devil for Halloween 2002! o Timmy said he wants to be a fireman when he grows up and unlike Jesse who plays baseball, Timmy wants to play hockey. MOM AND DAD o Mr. and Mrs. McCartney had this written in Jesse's 8th grade yearbook: "Congratulations to you Jesse and all your classmates. We are 'insured' you'll move on to a successful high school experience! We love you, yeah, yeah, yeah! Mom, Dad, Lea, Timmy, & All your friends at the McCartney Agency!" o Timmy's dad is the president of an insurance company and a volunteer firefighter! o Mrs. McCartney once joked and said that because of Timmy, she should have stopped having kids after Lea. BIG BROTHER o In Jesse's 'thank-yous' from Dream Street debut album he said, "To my whole family, including my sister Lea, my brother Timmy and my touring grandparents - you've all been great. I love you guys." o When Jesse was asked, "Who would you like to bring along on the tour bus?", he replied, "My little brother, Timmy. He's so much fun." o Once a fan asked Timmy if Jesse hit him sometimes, and he nodded his head yea. Mrs. McCartney saw and said, "Does Jesse hit you?!" Thanks Brandi! o When a fan asked Jesse, "Hey when I was a signing of your I saw Timmy and Lea and they are both so adorable! they look just like you! I was wondering if you get a long with them? Or do you guys get in fights a lot?" He answered, "We're like every other bunch of brothers and sisters. We have our moments but for the most part we get along. Haha." o Once, the guys (Dream Street) went to "Malley's" for ice cream and Timmy had an ice cream cone and was really messy, so Mr. Ballinger said "Timmy you are one messy little boy," and Timmy just laughed and replied, "I eat just like Jesse". o When Timmy was asked, "What's the best part of having a brother who's a star?", he replied, "We get good food before the concerts!" o When asked, "I know you must miss your family when you are on the road. So how do you deal with it?", Jesse replied, "I call them a lot." o When asked, "Do you share a room with your brother?", Jesse replied, "The TMac - No Way! We keep him locked up downstairs. Ha! ;-)" o Once, in 2002, Jesse got grounded for staying on the internet until 4 AM, because Timmy caught and told on him. Thanks Megan! o According to Mr. McCartney, Timmy and Jesse are almost opposite when it comes to certain things. Timmy is a total comedian and as Mr. McCartney puts it, "is going to be the next Robin Willams", while Jesse isn't really into comedy. Thanks Margaret! BIG SISTER o At the Quakerbridge Mall signing, Lea yelled at Timmy for playing with the DVD's on display! TAGGING ALONG o When Dream Street had just become a group they did a small signing in Kentucky at a K-Mart and Timmy turned up missing - the next thing they know someone in 'layaway' asked on the intercome, "Will the McCartney family please pick up Timmy in the layaway section? It would be appreciated." o On August 27, 2001 Timmy tagged along with Jesse, Lea, and the Dream Street guys to South Street Seaport in New York, NY while they signed autographs. o Timmy was also with Jesse on the job at Playland Park in Rye, New York on July 9, 2001. o On August 19, 2001 Timmy was at the Waldbaum's Music & Balloon Festival in Shirley, NY with Jesse, Ginger, Matt, Greg, Chris and Frankie. He was running around inside the autograph signing tent, sitting on Greg's lap, eating a sucker, and talking to fans. o Timmy went with Jesse to the Sugar Beats concert in Connecticut on May 5th, 2002 and he was talking and playing with fans most of the time! Morgan and Shea asked him how old he was and he held out his hand, looked at it, and then held up five fingers. Then they said, "Aww you're so cute," and he replied "Yeah people tell me that sometimes." o Also at the Sugar Beats concert, Timmy was play 'Duck, Duck, Goose!' with fans! o After the concert, Timmy was out at the car giving some fans grape Twizzlers! Tiffani, her best friend, and her sister were talking to Timmy and he sang his own version of "Let's Get Funky Tonite" for them! He took a sip of milk that was in the car since the morning and me made this really cute scrunched up face because it tasted bad and they asked him if he wanted to be a singer and he nodded his head yes. o During the concert, Tiffani, Jaki, and Jordan were sitting next to Mr. and Mrs. McCartney and Timmy said, "Daddy ... I wanna sit next to the girls", so they ended up sitting next to him! He kept trying to talk to them during the concert while they were trying to watch Jesse on stage. He even drew a picture of Jordan and kept following them after the concert! Thanks Tiffani! o At the Norwalk Concert Hall in May concert with Jesse and the Sugar Beats, Timmy was signing an autograph for Jacqui and he got all excited and said, "It made sparkles!!!" after he gave it back to her because she had let him use her sparkle gel pen. He asked her how to spell her name and when she got to the 'q', Mrs. McCartney had to show him how to make it. o When the host of the show was talking about food allergies and joking that his son was allergic to taking out the garbage and peanuts, Timmy said to Jacqui, "Garbage?? Who could be allergic to garbage and peanuts?? I'm not allergic to anything!" Thanks Jacqui! o During the show Timmy was using Jacqui's pens to draw a picture for a girl named Jordan and everytime he wanted a different color pen he got shy and had someone else ask Jacqui for a new color for him. She said he was a little upset that she didn't have a green pen though! :) Thanks again Jacqui! o On April 6th, 2003, Lea, Mr. and Mrs. McCartney, and Timmy were all at Jesse's concert with the Sugar Beats at the Norwalk Concert Hall in Norwalk, Connecticut. o Timmy wasn't paying much attention when the Sugar Beats were on stage, instead he was talking to fans, but as soon as Jesse took the stage, Timmy stood up to watch the show. Thank you Sara! o After the concert Timmy went over to the merchandise table with his parents and he signed autographs and put on a Sugar Beats hat. Thanks again Sara! o Timmy waved a streamer around a lot during the show. Thanks Margaret! o Timmy was glad to sign autographs for the fans, but he would only do it if he got to use their pens! He signs his last name above his first and always writes out 'Tim', instead of 'Timmy' and he said, "Sometimes I can't spell my name without seeing it!" Thanks again Margaret! o Timmy's older cousin said that she really has to watch Timmy because he'll seriously go with anyone who takes his hand! She made him go with her to the bathroom and stand where she could see his feet under the door so he wouldn't take off! Thanks Kristen! o Timmy and Mrs. McCartney tagged along on April 5th, 2003 with Jesse in the studio to record for his solo album! Thanks Nicole! A COMEDIAN o Back in 2000, Timmy and Lea showed up with their parents to the 2nd day's tryouts for Dream Street. Lea kept telling Timmy to stop running around because the boys were being taught a dance and Timmy was bouncing around trying to do it too! Finally Mr. McCartney noticed what Timmy was doing and that he was bothering them so he grabbed Timmy up, but Timmy started to scream and kick and was yelling, "Help me! Help me! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" o Timmy once asked a girl backstage why she kept grabbing her butt all the time. LMAO! Thanks Bradley! o Once someone asked Timmy if he was Jesse McCartney's little brother and he asked, "Who?", she said, "Jesse," and then he told her, "Nope, I've never heard of that name!" o Timmy told Matt Ballinger that he'd kick him if he didn't give him a sucker. o Chris once dared Timmy to go up to a fan and tell her his name was Dorthy and that he was lost - and he did it! o Timmy once "frisbied" a glass dinner plate at the "Outback Steak House" and it hit a server and fell to the ground, shattering into a million peices. RANDOM o Once a fan was talking to Timmy and she said she was going to take him home with her, so Timmy nodded his head and told her to give him her address and that he'd be at her door after he got his Scooby. But once Timmy said he was going home with someone later, Mrs. McCartney told him no way, and he thought he'd seriously be going with her so he started crying when he knew he couldn't. o The McCartney's took a vacation to California over winter break in 2002!
