Whatchawant? Answers Continued

Continuing on… This should be short ’cause I have to pee, and I’m too lazy to get up to go.

MommyTime asked, “What the most ridiculous thing you did in your teens?  in your 20s?  Pictures not necessary but of Mushroom Headcourse an added bonus…
Most ridiculous thing I did. Hmmm. I’m not sure if you mean ridiculous “stupid” or ridiculous “silly.” Here are some options:
- In my teens, I broke up with my long-time boyfriend over the phone during a commercial break in BH 90120. I still feel bad. Not that I feel bad “regret” feel bad. Just was dumb.
- In 9th grade I had my hair cut to resemble a mushroom and wore a pink lace dress.
- During high school, I always had a boyfriend. ALWAYS. I needed attention. That’s pretty ridiculous.
- In my 20s, I went to a friend’s wedding and got falling-down drunk in front of old high school “friends” and puked in one of their cars.

K8Spade noted, “Oh, and p.s, I’m subscribed to you, so you better get your ass in gear and give me somethin to work with. I gotta pull the baby out of the dog crate again.”
Back off, bitch. I’m working here. And the comment about the baby in the dog crate? I think I love you.

Kids PoopingDeb - Mom of 3 Girls noted, “I’m always up for cute kid pictures…  :)”
Awww… shucks. I don’t want to turn off my 5s of men readers (Bronson - I see you) by posting frivolous pictures of my adorable girls. So I combined cute kids with pooping. All mens like pooping.

Shamelessly Sassy asked, “What is your favorite mistake?”
Claire aka Trouble - I know, I know. Kids are not mistakes. But we weren’t planning on getting pregnant with her for 6 more months, but at least she was planned for some time. But Claire being Claire, she did it on her own terms. I was on the pill AND breast-feeding, and I STILL got knocked up. She’s very willful. Yeah - we’ll go with willful. Jebus and Oprah, help me.

Colleen asked 57 questions - here are 3, “Attempt to solve the world’s largest riddle: Why in God’s name does the older kid have to play with whatever the younger kid is playing with, even if it means abandoning a pricey electronics toy for a bowl and a wooden spoon?”
We, parents, are stupid. We think our kids have to have the best of the best to make it to the top of their class and have the highest IQ therefore thinking we need to buy expensive electronics instead of letting them discover and imagine. Wow - that was a rant on myself. Bad mommy. I’m giving them sticks and tape to play with tomorrow instead of a $2400 computer.
“If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go?
Dubai to the Burj al Arab with someone else paying.
“Of all the trips you’ve taken in your life, which was your favorite?”
I can’t pick a favorite, but one I remember is a trip to North Carolina in high school w/ my family. I just remember being really relaxed in the mountains. And for some reason, I read Helter Skelter about Charles Manson. I was a weird kid.

Tara R asked, “what do you want for mother’s day?”
Peterbrooke Malted Milk Balls.
Huh-huh. I said milk balls. Huh-huh. I said balls.
