Boys will be Boys

At a recent conversation with 2 of my nephews (ages 12 and 10) this is what I heard:
Me: How'd you get the black eye? (this ? directed at 10 year old)
10 yr old: My brother.
12 yr old: I DIDN'T DO anything.
10 yr old: My brother was on me and I had to go REAL bad.
Me: Your brother was ON you?
12 yr old: That's what I'm saying; I DIDN'T DO anything to him, I was just sitting on him.
10 yr old jumps in: And I TOLD him, I HAVE to go sooo bad if you don't let me up I will pee on you.
12 yr old: So he starts trying to get loose and he hit his eye on my knee. I didn't DO anything.
This entire convo cracked me up!! (probably because I'm not their mom!!!)

Run Forest Run

I want to go running but I don't want to actually put on shoes, leave the house, or actually run. I'm going to call it cerebral athletics and I'll just picture myself doing it. Yeah that works. Today's blog; no subject; just random shit from the basement of my id. Basement needs cleaning that's a fact. Too much useless information gathered. I carefully stored a boxfull of feelings from Junior High School but now there's no room on the shelf for where I left my keys. Crap.

Moms Know Everything

As some of you know, I have a dear friend who has ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) and she can only move a few fingers, her head, and she can chew and swallow but someone has to feed her. Well, this gal single parented and raised 3 wonderful boys. Two of these boys are married but the youngest still lives at home. So, I'm over there visiting yesterday and "youngest" is packing to go on a camping trip. He comes into the room and says "Mom, where is my fishing pole?" (OKAY readers stay with me here.... SHE'S STUCK IN A CHAIR!!!!) My friend gets this "shit eating" grin on her face and says "I told you to put it away didn't I?" By God, she DID know where it was!!! She had one of her caregivers put it in a closet. She made him "work" alittle bit before she told him where to look. I tell you the MOM POWER is a force to be reckoned with even when she can't whip your ass.

Fuckin Terrorists

Pretty soon we will have to go to the airport naked and take no luggage and be forced to buy all new clothing, etc. at our flight destination. Do NOT misunderstand me here; I do want safety on airplanes and I realize the airlines, airports, etc. have their hands tied basically. My anger and frustration is directed at the terrorists. Even if they blow up a million people they will NOT get their way. They are SERIOUSLY overdue for anger management classes and need a butt kicking.
