Please Don't Copy. I really didn't want to put a copyright thing on my site. It seemed a little....I don't know. But it's been brought to my attention I need to remind people to maybe think their own thoughts.
I am cookie manager of my daughter's girl scout troop this year and have a co-manager, a mom I dont know, and i was kinda nervous cuz I am under the impression that I am socially awkward and other Moms make me nervous, and the other manager is all cute and perky and I was scared...then on the phone discussing cookie arrangements I hear her turn her head and yell at her kids just the way I do...and then she gets back on the phone and says, "those little shits I told them not to touch my fabric!" And instantly, I beam inside; anyone who calls their kids little shits is just golden in my book. I instantly like her and resolve not to judge the Mother by her matching purse and shoes!
Oh soozey, I love you! I didn't get to know my neighbour until we had our second babies within a week of each other and when we were talking about our older kids she was talking about not sending them to school when they're sick and she said "of course, she has to be damned near on her deathbed before I keep her home", and I know we were destined to love each other. Is it dysfunctional that people have to swear and borderline abuse their kids before we feel comfortable with them? :)
My mom used to call us little shits when we got into something we weren't supposed to. It always rolled off my back, but my brother to this day gets upset thinking about it. Something about her tone of voice.
HI, oh I didnt mean she calls them shits to their faces!! I dont either, And I know you don't at all, I mean, among adults only, in reference. She waited til the left the room, I heard her go up the stairs!! sorry!
Hello... I have no comment about "Mighty Junior".
However, I've been reading through your archives, and I have to say: I'd like to make out with you. Just a little bit.

I've never called the kids little shitheads.
I have maybe said "asshole" but only under my breath in the other room....

My mom has and probably always will call me "a little shit." I think it is quite endearing. haha!
