Oh, hilarious. That's one of those times that you write "I hate kids day" somewhere on YOUR calendar! Or you fill in all the rest of the days on her calendar, saying "I love mom day".
...the teenager/preteen years. Not really looking forward to it.
@Denae: You wanna conduct this month or want me to? @MommyJ: She's not a teenager...she's 9. lol @Nat: My revenge was sweet and fitting: I blogged it. @Nikki: It's called blackmail. lol @Sue: Oh, I laughed so hard, it didn't hurt a bit! She never meant for me to see this...but now she is so sorry! I just hugged her and said we've all been mad at our moms when we were little. @Nancy: I am pretty sure I did do this when I was younger.
I would cry if I saw this on the calendar, written by one of my kids. You are a much better and more grown up Mom than I ever was to be able to take it as you did. I stand in awe !
I popped back to see if you were getting the proper support after your little calendar revelation.
I'm surprised by how many gals have said, "Oh, this would have made me cry!" Moms, you gotta toughen up! This gig is not for sissies!
Besides, from the minute a child can first open their mouths, they don't mean more than maybe 3% of what they say. Good thing, too, or they'd starve to death.
And this goes quadruple for teens and tweens. They're big bags o' hormones and they have a frame of reference of maybe, MAYBE, 2.6 seconds in any direction. The best day of your life is when your 12 y.o. finally gets her "female houseguest" because it's 3 good years of PMS first.
Even without knowing your cute caboose, Momza, I knew this was nothing to get worked up about. It's just dang funny!
@Denae: We have been laughing about this all day long. Even shared it with some friends at the Pinewood Derby tonight! Hilarious stuff! I'm still giggling.
Oh Momza, I am laughing so hard--only because I have my own kid who would do the same if he calmed down enough to think of it (instead of pushing his fist through walls). That was priceless.
@Lisa: The Caboose complained today, when I mentioned it: "You're not gonna let this go are you? I wasn't serious. I was mad. I almost did a "I hate Dad day too." @Braden: Thx! Bet you know how to plaster drywall pretty good, eh? @Linda: Amen. @Patricia: Just keep breathing!
I kept a picture that Annie drew of me when she was about 4. It has a mean face with slanty eyebrows. I said, "I love my ears with earrings on them." She said, "Those aren't ears. Those are your hands on your hips!"
Oh, the little stinker!!
ReplyDeleteYes, we may be numbered among the noble and great, but we have to pass through the naughty and grounded on our way to the meetings.
I am so excited about the prospect of having teenagers at my house. Really. I am.
ReplyDeleteOh, hilarious. That's one of those times that you write "I hate kids day" somewhere on YOUR calendar! Or you fill in all the rest of the days on her calendar, saying "I love mom day".
ReplyDelete...the teenager/preteen years. Not really looking forward to it.
Oh wow. One reason you are totally cool is that you blogged this! I would've cried.
ReplyDeleteThis both makes me laugh out loud and hurts my heart (just a little).
ReplyDeleteThe former because moms know kids don't mean it...at least, not for long! ;)
And the latter because of the rather poignant irony of it all.
Mothers: the most under-appreciated yet indispensable gift to the world ever!
@Everyone: I LAUGHED SO HARD when I saw this...I busted up! Poor Caboose was so embarrassed..."oh no! you're gonna blog this!"
ReplyDeleteYes. Yes, I am.
Oh, that's funny. I totally would have done that when I was a kid. Good for you for seeing the humor.

ReplyDelete@Nonna: Nah, you wouldn't if you knew the Caboose. She's my sweetie...but sometimes she has a hot little temper. lol

Those cabooses- gotta love em.

ReplyDeleteOh my. I think my teenagers celebrate that holiday about every hour around here.
ReplyDeleteYeah that's a great holiday right up there with Mommy Medusa Day.

ReplyDelete@Amy: LOL keep it forever!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite blog post of all time.
