It Gets Quieter Yes?

Does your 4 year old shut up?

Ever?

Mine doesn't either. Don't get me wrong, I love my boy with all my heart and would take a bullet for him but oh my god. Shut up every once in awhile. I now have a pretty good idea what I was like when I was his age. I almost feel bad. Almost.

If he isn't talking about everything relating to Spiderman, he's demanding you look at the tv immediately to see "that thing that looks like the Sandman's shirt from when he was Franco and tried to kill Peter Parker Spiderman's father no uncle in Dr Octopuss with Harry Osborne." Honest to God sentence spoken by him.

If he's not talking, he's singing. The same song. Over and over and over. Then there's the parrot in our house. She at least changes songs.* She's got to put her own spin on it though by adding 5 more rows and a dozen merrilys and no, doesn't make it all that much better.

I've heard "Hey Mommy","Mommy, look!" and "MOOOOOOMMMMMMMMYYYYYY!!!" no fewer than 39 times in the last 20 minutes.

I need to be medicated just thinking of Peanut at 4 if she's going to be anything like this.

*no clue who those kids are but they did a good job of singing.

Please do not ask me to email photos out, I get entirely too many requests for them. These are the ones that I have at home, thanks to a couple of sources.

Customer Appreciation Day

Dear Crotchety Broad, While I love my job and think it's the easiest one in the world to have, I do not think dealing with your ass was easy. Here are some highlights from my fabulous time with you: When your cashier is ringing up your precious produce, putting the codes in (from memory thank you very much), don't start trash talking her. I didn't hear you ask if I needed help because, well, um, I was busy ringing your shit up. When I look up because I heard something , don't look at me and say, " HELLO??" all sarcastic and shit. I will squish your tomatos, avocados and bread. When I ask if you have coupons, that's generally a sign that I am not a mind reader, can't see in your purse and can't predict the future (contrary to what you may think dear customer). As a refresher, here's our coversation: Loverly Cashier: Did you have any coupons today ma'am? (and that ma'am part may or may not have been choked out of my throat) Crotchety Broa...

She Was Heartbroken

After reading about Kim and Reggie breaking up, the Monkey had a moment of silence to reflect on the love that is no longer there. And then she ate part of the page. Fiber! She needs fiber ya know! She wasn't as into the Saved By The Bell article like her favorite Auntie was (ahem) but she did kiss Zack Morris. No lie. Puckered right on up and layed one on him. He hasn't been the same since.
