Re-repose

The boys and I are out for another long getaway in the sticks. Different sticks than last week (see above), but sticks nonetheless. No web, a rotary phone, and a rabbit-eared TV bought during the Van Buren administration.
Thanks for all those Kiddie Komments; it's gratifying to see so many people defend "the darndest things." I read them all, and they gave me a great lift. Keep 'em coming while we're gone; as a good faith gesture, here's another from Robert: "In a perfect world, when you're born your parents give you $60."
See you next week.
ENJOY...SCHOOL WILL BE UPON US BEFORE WE KNOW IT. THEN IT'S MORE RUNNING HERE THERE AND EVERYWHERE!

I could really use that 60 bucks.

The TV must have been later than Van Buren. Rabbit ears were not introduced until the time of Teddy Roosevelt.

We have about a month before our first is due, so we're also on "vacation". And then, I have a feeling it's going to be a long, long time before we get another...

My ten year old informed me that he wanted the 300$ I owe him...when I asked him to elaborate...he simply replied that it was the 300$ I was getting from the president for having him...he was looking for his cut of the tax relief credit.

The scene: My 2 year old nephew's birthday party.
Main Characters: Grandma, 5 year old Aidan & Nate (the birthday boy)
Aidan: Oh boy, Nate a Thomas Book.
Grandma: Aidan, why don't you sit with Nate and read the book to him?
Aidan: Grandma, I'm five, and I can't read. I thought you knew that.
I'm Aidan's Mom, and Grandma is my mom....I laughed so hard I nearly peed my pants.

My three-year-old son was walking around the house naked, enjoying his freedom. As he was shaking his rear, he exclaimed, "Mommy, when I wiggle in the back, I wiggle in the front!"

You look so happy! Yay you!
When my 8 year old was three I asked her if she had helped daddy take out the Christmas tree to which she replied "Fuckin Christmas tree".
Obviously my husband had a hard time getting it through the door.

As a reply to the tv commercial that says" Ask your doctor if Viagra is right for you" my 7 year old looks up from his book and says "Viagra is right for me!". WTF????
Christmas Eve, 7 year old can't sleep. I go up a million times, tell him I know he is excited, but he has to sleep or Santa won't come. He takes a huge sigh, throws himself back on his pillow and says" I wish I was Jewish!!"
