So what’s new with YOU, Pranksters? TELL ME ALL THE THINGS!
Haven’t you learned to use the toilet yet? Tsk, tsk.
I know! I right behind you. My son thinks the potty is a swirling vortex of doom. I think he may be in diapers in college. *SIGH*
the twins are fucking killing me on the potty bullshit. when one goes, the other wants to go. when one gets done, the other says she or he is done, then they continue to shit in their pants and due to pure exhaustion we allow it and just hose them off. I can’t wait to never talk about this shit ever again. But I also can’t wait till I can stop saying “get your finger out of your ass”/
10 to 1 that bitch Carmen is holed up somewhere with Waldo….or maybe Carmen IS Waldo which is why you can never find either of them!
Even as a mayonnaise eater, I gagged at the idea of “by the spoonful”
Doing a thesis on Justin Bieber’s music.
Really, mayonnaise by the spoonful? You had to go there? I damn near threw the fuck up all over my desk when I read that.
But, yes, potty training does suck. I’m not quite sure why it’s so damn hard to understand?
Ahhh, potty training. One of the many many things I thought I would never have to deal with by not having kids. And yet, I fell for a guy who has 3, and am a stepmom, dealing with the potty training.
Just the other day the little angel fell asleep on my lap, without her usual naptime pullups. I actually had to decide whether I preferred to transfer her to the bed where she could possibly pee there, or keep her on me and have her possibly pee on me.
Girl, I had to go to a damn shrink with my 2nd son over potty training. For real!!!! That kid put me over the edge.
Mayo by the spoonful reminds me of SwedishMealTime, you gotta see it. http://www.youtube.com/user/SwedishMealTime/videos
They are hilarious!
I don’t miss potty ‘training’ (torture) one bit.
#233 made me giggle a little too much.
I have to do a bunch of paperwork today, and I really don’t want to. What would I rather be doing? Looking at the house I want to move into NOW NOW NOW! Someone please tell me where those stupid missing 7 pages that I need are hiding!
I’m going to lose my mind.
My son was actually easy to potty train. You may all hate me now 🙂
Potty training… I am not sure which one of us is worse at it…. me, or my two year old… She can’t figure out how to do it… and I can’t figure out how to get her to do it….
I thought I had it sussed until four weeks ago, when suddenly we rolled all the way down hill to the bottom, then below ground until we reached the depths of hell, where I am once again having to change poopy nappies. What would I rather be doing than potty training? ANYTHING!!!!
I also want to know how teh became popular. Or is it that so many people that cant spell it?
Mmmmmm…..strawberry starburst……
#233 is awesome. Make sure you call me to come see it in person. 🙂
Regarding #144, you’d be like the McGyver of birthing! Best of luck potty training.
I’m there with you. Our twin boys are three years old and have no interest in the potty. We just moved them out of their cribs, so i’m thinking a month from now we’ll try potty training again. I’m hoping they are done by September as they are supposed to be going to preschool. Ugh!
If you’re doing singing telegrams I would really appreciate one at my office. The VPs on vacation and we needed to live it up a little while we can!
Thank you for reminding me again why I enjoy not having my own kids.
Is it weird that I really do want to do singing telegrams and also perform in a Murder Mystery Dinner and/or weekend as the Southern belle who has had 5 husbands die under mysterious circumstances?
