Intergalactic Planetary Mom

When I told Son #2 that I would come home early tonight to go trick-or-treating, he jumped up and down a couple of times and gave me a huge hug.

"You're the best mom in town. In the world. Wait, you're the best mom in the universe. Except for that one mom on the planet Zircon -- I heard she's pretty awesome."

Joe the Tight End

Grannie Annie played football with Son #2 today. While playing, she began bragging that she was as good as Joe Namath, Joe Montana and Joe . . .

Son #2: Joe the Plumber?

Hold on to that Feelin'

Reading, Writing and Right Wing Rhetoric

Son #1 said to the hubby after school today, "I heard that if Obama wins the election, we'll have to go to school on snow days."

Yes and abortions will be mandatory.

Can You Hear Me Now?

Son #2: I can't waaaaait for my birthday party next weekend -- Village Sports is going to be sooooooooooo much fun.

Son #1: Duh. Birthday parties are always fun.

Son #2: But Village Sports is the best.

Son #1: Doesn't matter. Can you think of anywhere that wouldn't be fun if it was a party?

Son #2: Verizon Wireless.

Holy non sequitur Batman! But he is right . . .

Riddle Me This

Q: What happens when you're too tired to carry your laptop home even though you have heaps o' work to do?

A: Why you freak out, shower and come to work at 3:30 a.m., silly.

Isn't that what everyone does?

Heart Melt!

Son #1 began punching his brother for no apparent reason while we were sitting on the couch last night.

Me: What the heck is going on?

Son #2 (with arms tightly wrapped around me): He's jealous 'cause I got the girl.
