SCENE: Wednesday night after dinner, Bonnie’s usual writing time.
SQUIRT: Mom! I need the computer! I have to write a research paper!
MOM: What?!? How many pages? But school’s almost over! When’s it due?
SQUIRT: It’s due tomorrow. Four pages. But don’t worry, Mom. I’ve got it covered.
It turns out “got it covered” is Secret Teenager Code for, “I haven’t done any research yet.” But hey! At least he picked a topic!
SQUIRT: Ninjas.
MOM: You’re writing a research paper on… ninjas?
SQUIRT: Yeah! Cool, hunh?
Yup. Cool.
You can blame him for me not posting on Thursday.
Last night’s Crazies was all my fault, though. Late in the evening I realized we hadn’t completed the independent P.E. application the high school requires, so we basically scrambled around like the noodles we are just to complete everything in time to turn them in this morning.
And then this morning I mistook the orange juice jug for the milk carton.
It wasn’t the best tasting stuff in the world, but heck, caffeine is caffeine.
Better than mistaking a pitcher full of chicken fat and drippings for a pitcher of orange juice…
Heh, heh, that’ll teach my husband to not drink out of the pitcher…
Orange flavoured coffee. Hmm, that might be worth trying. 😉
Chicken fat….eeks….LOL
Hope the weekend is slower for you.
Happy Saturday.
Yuck…As Squirt would say, “Gross!!!”
Orange Juice in the coffee ehhh, well it’s better than a bunch of toe nails. Many years ago, my brother cut his toe nails and used what he thought was an empty milk carton to dispose of them. Minutes later i came along and made coffee…and, well you know the rest!
Michelle and Bernita… BLEAH!
BLEAH!
DOUBLE BLEAH!
Bonnie and Kristen and I need to gargle with mouthwash… or something… because certain visuals leave a bad taste in our mouths!
BLEAH!
Bwaah hahh!! OMG, orange juice in the coffee – what a classic Mom moment!
Geez, you sound way too much like me, Bonnie. I’m famous for the sugar and flour mix-up…same containers…not so same taste.
