Oh Mommy! I almost fell in the toilet.
I suppose it could have been worse. Atleast she used the word almost.
October 29, 2007 | Parenting, The Goon Squad
This weekend we’re flying down to Florida for Corbi’s wedding. I am going to be a bridesmaid and Ian and Claudia are going to be the ring bearer and the flower girl.
The kids seem a little bit confused about what a wedding is. They have never been to one before and Ian wants to know if I will still be his Mommy at the wedding and Claudia wants to know if I will still have the same face.
Yeah, that same face thing, I have no idea what that means but she has been asking about it for months.
Anyway, I came up with the genius idea today of showing The Goon Squad my wedding video. Even though I didn’t have a flower girl or a ring bearer I figured that it would give them a better idea of what a wedding was all about.
We were watching the video (Claudia kept saying that Grandpa had the same glasses and I had the same neck – whatever that means) and the kids were fascinated. They especially liked it that Daddy had a ponytail and so did Mark and Uncle Mike. Claudia, in normal girl fashion, loved my big white dress and all of the flowers.
Then Ian said – Uh, oh! I think something scary is about to happen.
Me: Nothing scary is going to happen. It was a happy day.
Ian: But something bad is going to happen.
Me: Nope. I was there. nothing bad happened. It was a wonderful day. It was the day I married your father.
Ian: But, nothing scary happens the whole time?
Me:Well, later at the reception Todd breakdances. I guess that part is kind of scary.

I didn’t tell him this, but there was something else that scared me a little bit. I got married in October of 1999. We’ve been married for eight years and now my wedding video is starting to look dated. I mean, I knew it was going to happen sooner or later, (I’m already to the point in my life where my hair in my senior picture* makes me cringe) but part of me still feels like it all happened so recently. Growing up is strange.

* Sorry, I was going to show you my senior picture, but I couldn’t find a copy. Who has one? Lori? Mom?

You know what word doesn’t get used enough? Whoremonger.
I got a search hit the other day for “Joyce Carol Oates is fucking depressing”. Now, while I don’t think I ever wrote that (and having only read We Were the Mulvaneys
Do you need more information on what to do if you are attacked by monkeys? Thanks to Lori, I am no longer in the dark.
This is kind of old, but it still makes me laugh: Why I am better than your kids.
I can’t stop thinking about this Homer Simpson tatoo on this lady’s junk. ** NOT OKAY TO OPEN AT WORK**. (Lady is probably the wrong word, huh?) Do you think it is real or makeup? Gabe says it can’t be real because it only works from one angle. I think that is a good point.
One more and then I’ll go… stolen panties worth $200??? (Thanks Tiffer.)

The winner of our MOTHERS act contest is….
Andie D (which is very fitting since Ian is being a total grumppoptamus today)!
Andie, please send me you address and I will mail you a signed copy of The Ghost in the House: Motherhood, Raising Children, and Struggling with Depression
If the stupid embedded video isn’t working I have no idea what to tell you. My guru recently quit blogging. I am at a loss.
Why can’t I embed a video like a normal person????? Grrrrrrrr.
