Get Out of the Street!
October 1, 2010
I have this totally stupid thing that has been bugging me. The new moms at my bus stop stand in the street. I know it sounds silly, and I know it shouldn’t be a big deal, but what kind of example is that? How am I supposed to teach my kids to stay out of [...]

Claudia: I love Hershey’s chocolate milk because it is made out of real Hershey’s kisses. Ian: No it isn’t. It is made out of Hershey bars. This argument continues for about 15 minutes. Repeat to fade.

“What are you doing Mom?” “I’m just trying to think of something to write about for my MamaPop post today.” He thought about it for a while. “Why don’t you just type random letters?” “Just like 10th grade geography papers?” “What?” “Nothing.” *
The Class of 2022 (BlogHer Hangover Part 2)
August 23, 2010
There are actually two kinds of BlogHer hangovers. The kind of hangover I wrote about two weeks ago and the kind where you run out of words. Usually when I come home from BlogHer I find that I have mysteriously run out of things to say. It is as if I have told most of [...]

The funniest joke I heard all day as told by my four year old neighbor, Todd: (Laurie and Suebob should stop reading now) Q: Why did the chicken cross the road? A: Diarrhea. I turned my head as his mother scolded him for that kind of talk at the table because I was laughing and [...]
The Fun Kind of Cleaning
July 28, 2010

Me: Claudia, I think the bathing suit you wore this morning is getting too small for you. Her: No it isn’t. Me: Really, honey, I think it is. Look at this picture. Her: That isn’t too small! It was just crammed up the hole.
Bon Jovi was Mistaken. The Hardest Part is not the Night.
July 7, 2010
The hardest part about being a parent – besides the sleep deprivation and all of the crushing responsibility – is keeping a straight face when I say things like “Pu-pu platters are not funny!” or “Nobody wants to see you shaking your butt all day long.” or “That isn’t really called an upper nut.” Full [...]
On Top of the World (for about five seconds)
June 23, 2010
The Goon Squad and I were totally rocking out on the way home from Tae Kwon Do. I still had a couple of my 80s hair metal CDs in the car from when Laurie and I went to the M3 concert on Saturday and the kids and I were listening to some Guns N’ Roses. [...]
