Public Display of Affection According to The Boy

So we are driving through a parking lot and I see this couple totally making out.  The guy is like totally passionate, the girl, not so much.  Not like she's in danger (unless he is going to choke her with his tongue).  More like, gross bad breath.

Anyway, I say to CM, "Wow.  That is some serious PDA.  Do you see how she is like stiff and not that into it?"

CM: "Maybe it's an affair and she's worried someone will see them."

The Boy: (not even looking up from his book in the backseat), "Yeah it's probably one of those street fairs."

Ah, yes, another torrid, suburban, strip mall, street fair.

You gotta love innocence :) Today my 6 year old informed me that at the party we were at the other night all the kids (8 and under) were in the room spelling out to each other all the bad words they knew. Today she was asking me what a$$ means. Fortunately that's the only word she heard them spelling.

I love that he reads in the car. Does he do that on 10 minute trips? I always did! Made it hard to know streets when I began driving.

That is AWESOME. With all the crap that floats around our kids these days (man, I sound old), its good to know that they can still be innocent, isn't it?

Awww how sweet.

Pat and I never go to "street fairs" anymore...

ps It's actually a vat of butter on top of a bag of 20 flour tortillas on top of a plstic tray of raw chicken.

I don't know what anyone would do with a tub that large of sour cream. Lord help us.

And this is EXACTLY why Libbey will one day be Mrs. Romero. And also why I will say I have the greatest son-in-law in the history of sons-in-law.

I heart him. I do. I need to give him a hug. We'll call it a "street fair," and just go about our business.

Love what comes out of kids' mouths----as long as it's not vomit! ;)

Thanks for not giving too much about Breaking Dawn away. I really, really, really am going to read these books one day. SOON! If I don't, I'd probably write the whole stupid story myself, get all excited about it, and realize IT'S ALREADY BEEN WRITTEN! I'm good at second-hand genius!

Ok, I have to add one more thing after reading the comments. I love how we bloggers are marrying our kids off to other blogger friends. You and Lula, me and John Deere Mom...I know I've seen others too. Its like bloggers are bringing arranged marriages back! HA....my son is not even out of diapers yet!

I was reading yesterday (finished by the way...) and my girls were playing school with thier stuffed animals. And I heard them tell (the stuffed animals) them to stop making out. I am not sure why stuffed animals were making out in school. But there you have it. Perhaps it WAS just a street fair...

Too cute! And someday if anybody asks him to go to a street fair, his reaction will probably confuse them!

You'd better prepare him for what can happen at the county fair and state fair, perhaps even the world fair.

The nerve of those people to have a street fair in the parking lot. Little Miss loves to go not to the county fair, but to the counting fair. ;)

Those "street fairs" can be entertaining - but I haven't attending one of those in a loooong time.

My Big News and a $100.

Image
It just dawned on me that I have had some super exciting news that I haven't officially shared! You all know how I feel about the importance of optimism and resiliency in the successes I've had in my life and how important it is to pass those on to my son. Did you know my company is named "Bright Future Managment"? Doesn't get more optimistic than that! A few months ago, I was contacted by a PR firm representing Pepperidge Farm. They were interested in interviewing me for a faculty position for Fishful Thinking , an initiative that offers parents tools for fostering optimism in kids. Now, as the director of one of LA's largest and oldest private summer camps, I get contacted to participate in all kinds of things for kids... usually, I pass, as I want to spend all my free time with my boys. But in this case, the message and the presentation was so incredible, I jumped at the chance and agreed to the interview. Within the first 5 minutes of the interview I wa

OB...No, not another tampon post.

I 'd like to start by proclaiming that I am in madly in love with my husband. In no way does this moment of "gyno-attraction" diminish his hotness and my love for said hotness. Having said that, let's begin. So I feel pretty safe in saying my OB is hotter than your OB. Okay, make that "was", because when we left LA for St. George, I had to leave his glorious, silver, stirrups. But he is worth a post. Trust me on this . Let's start with our first (and only) encounter. It was my 6 week follow up after having The Boy. My regular OB was out of town, so they assigned me to Dr. McHottie. I walked into the room with no idea of what was to come. I got undressed (from the waist down of course) and stuck my feet in the stirrups. Then he walked in. A cross between Jake Gyllenhall and Channing Tatum. In scrubs. G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S. I got all kinds of flustered and the conversation went something like this. McHottie : "Hello Mrs. R." (Cleverly remin
