Chat with Papi

3:12 PM Papi: Yo.

me: yo
sounds like they had pretty good days

Papi: Yay

me: although becca evidently flipped some kids off
3:13 PM she got in trouble

Papi: ?? Does she even know what that means?

me: ms. cook believed her when she said she didn't know what it means
she asked me when we got home

Papi: Ms Cook believed her? Wow

me: yeah, surprisingly enough.
I said it means "I hate you" and it's very very rude
then becca wrote me a note apologizing for making the gesture to me

Papi: Ummm don't say it means I hate you, or she will start flipping everyone off.
3:14 PM
me: yeah, but how do I explain the other? "What does 'fuck you' mean, Momma?"
Papi: good point

    First she sticks out her tongue, now it's her middle finger! Where DOES she learn such manners!! Just be glad she's not a boy...I hear they get the elementary equivalent of jail time for flashing another student your wanker...no questions asked!

    These are kind of tales that make me wish we had kids. I can hear myself, and the phone calls from the school, now: "It means the same as screw you, honey. It's not very nice but sometimes very necessary."

    HOBAC, you would be so much fun in a teacher conference. Are you busy Wednesday morning?

    Hi,

    Not a comment about your post (except that I've always thought you were very sharp and funny when I've popped over to see what you had to say), but a question: whatever happened to Soletrain, he who wrote The Last Shall Be First? I've been curious.

    Thanks,

    Evan

    Soletrain is a fantastic writer; unfortunately, he is also a lazy sack of shit. I've forwarded your comment to him in an effort to spur productivity. As you've probably noticed, his blog has been dormant; as far as I know, he isn't writing anywhere else.

    His blog was fantastic, no? Perhaps it's time to get out the sharper sticks.

The Bikini Wax: An Internal Dialogue

God, this is horrifying. I wonder if she's as embarrassed as I am. OW! Ow MOTHERFUCKER! Okay, this hurts less than childbirth, but only because it doesn't last as long. What is she saying? I wish I spoke Vietnamese. I think I outweigh the entire staff combined. Dude, where is she going? They need a picture on this ceiling. They would probably put up a picture of Hannah Montana. I will not think about Miley Cyrus. I will not think about Miley Cyrus. Hey, I bet my nails are dry. I wonder if the liquor store next door sells ice. Next time I'm paying more for a place with numbing cream. Which is worse -- being her or being me? OW. Me. At times like this it's good to have some poetry memorized. 'Twas brillig and the ... the ... Dammit. HOW BIG IS MY VAGINA? She could have mowed the back 40 by now. God, how come nobody told me this shit was growing halfway down my leg? Did I water the clematis last night? Next time: vodka first. Next time: Vicodin first.

Be Awesome for Halloween

Image
You are a total hoser if you don’t dress up for Halloween. Granted, I haven’t dressed up in a few years, but I am about to change that this year. I have an idea … but it’s a surprise! Actually, I have lots of Halloween ideas. I’ve put together a few sample ideas for some of my favorite bloggers. If you find yourself in need of inspiration, send me a link to your blog, or just describe what you’re doing on Halloween night, and I’ll give you a hand. Emily and Rob : Alice and Ralph Kramden ! Soletrain : ODB . Wouldn’t you pay money to see Uncle John wearing a grill? Anyway, I’m sure he already has the outfit. He just needs to accessorize with a 40. Bunny Tomerlin : Goth princess . Because I bet she’s never even worn PVC. (Polyvore set via Haley ) Grosgrain Garage : preppy Jesus – Bonnanos, tunic with gingham trim and a ribbon belt, pearls worn as a thorny crown Megan: Now that she's succumbed to making wreaths , Mega...

Reading/ Watching/ Listening

 Reading: The Rules of Civility by Amor Towles. I didn't like it nearly as much as A Gentleman in Moscow . In fact, I liked it only barely enough to keep reading. Watching: Poker Face , on Peacock. Papi and I have enjoyed watching this, one episode at a time, and not every day. It's a little formulaic, but the sets and the guest stars are fun. I like that it changes scenery every episode. Listening to: The Beatles Channel, Sirius XM. Ever since watching Get Back , the Beatles documentary, I've enjoyed listening to them with new ears.
