I'm posting today but then I'm taking a couple of days off to decompress with the family. I just switched jobs and have no vacation time so, never fear, I'll be back on Monday.
Since I'm PRACTICALLY on vacation, I'll abridge my Ten Things That Have Made Me Laugh Lately down to two REALLY funny ones:
1) I'm driving with my daughter and she asks, "Momma, how come people say that you have a fat bum?" I'm OUTRAGED so I ask her, "WHO SAYS THAT?!?!!?" And after thinking for a moment she answers (with a question mark) "Um, Barack Obama?" Needless to say his approval rating is at an all time low in our house.
2) We were all in the car, driving to my brothers house to make Christmas cookies last weekend and my daughter asks, "Mommy, how long will you and Daddy be married?" and, without thinking I answered, "Until Daddy dies." Myhusband gasped, looked at me wide-eyed and said, "I know that't the statistically safe bet but you don't have to come right out and say it!"
Then I added, "And your new daddy isn't born yet."
Merry Christmas Everyone. Have a wonderful weekend.
LOL "And your new daddy isn't born yet." <- awesome.
Merry Christmas to you and your blog commenters.
Visit my blog on Christmas day for my Merry Christmas post.
Cheers,
Todd

Niiiicccceeee! Short, sweet, to the point. I must take notes. I think I will learn lots from your style! Cheers, Merry Holidays or however you politically/religiously celebrate this time of year (blah blah) and I look forward to your posts next year.

Try telling her this: "Google 'Demi Moore.' Then you'll understand what Mommy's trying to say."

that bastard Obama. you should make a protest sign. it should say something clever about how a president should tell women that have fat bums.
and I'm gonna use that. I'll just say my future baby daddy isn't born yet. I like it.

As long as you don't currently have plans to kill him off, I think he is safe. Your lack of tact is awesome though. Both in that statement and in this site. Love you!

Awesome. My 7yo once walked in on me pulling on a bathing suit (I'm a satorial sadist) and he said, "Mommy, you'd look just like Wonder Woman if you had breasts." He must have Obama on speed dial...
