How old did they say I am?

Sometimes I just love how unbelievably childish I am. Who cares that I don't act my age?

Sure it's immature that whenever my husband says things that piss me off, I flip him off and stick my tongue out behind his back. And sometimes to his face!

When my husband stays out drinking with a buddy (later than I'd like for him to), I do things like:
Call him every five minutes, knowing he's hungover
Make childish remarks like, "I didn't know Tony was your lover now."

Play cruel and heartless practical jokes on my daughter when she was in jr high. For instance, once I had a girl I worked with call and pretend to be the dentist's office and ask how she would like to have her tooth pulled out - yanked out with a pair of pliers or cut out with a razor blade. She had an appt. scheduled for the next day to actually have a tooth extraction, and so my call fell perfectly into place. A few minutes later she called in hysterics. But I've done better pranks than that. Right Misty?

Send notes back and forth during business meetings. Notes with drawings and remarks about the people in attendence. Right, Misty?

Maybe I'll grow up next year. Nah...I think I'll wait a bit.

Michele sent me!
at 8:13 PM Your Mother said...: I don't wanna grow up. I really don't. And, I had kids partly for torture reasons. They are great for that. And cleaning the toilets. Okay, I made up that last part.

PS - I like the new layout too.

Joyously roaming through life. Meeting its topographical challenges, and facing each with a sarcastic wit, and an impetuous need to face even more bumps, dips, pits and peaks. How the hell else did I end up with a 22 year old, a 20 year old and a 4 year old?
