My kid still doesn't call me Mommy. I don't know anyone else who has a kid her age who is still resisting that, so I don't ever mention it. I know she can say it because if I ask her "Can you say Mama?" she says it and if you ask her to "find Mommy" she knows that one too...but the little putz won't call me Mommy. She doesn't say Daddy either, so at least it's equal discrimination.

| When I get older, my plan is to drive Mommy and Daddy crazy |
On that same topic, the kid does scream "COME!" if she wants me and she has on more than one occasion called my husband "CUNT!" so we always have that.
If I'm alone, an avocado serves one. The only way it's not is if my husband is home and he wants some, otherwise I'll eat it all. In my world there is nothing grosser than avocado leftovers, so it's a now or never deal.
If it's windy, I pick a shorter stroller run route because I'm so over pushing that thing into a headwind. I know I can do it, but I'd really rather shove a fork in my ear than run 4 miles pushing 50lbs into a 25mph headwind.

I spent a good 30 minutes today dying of laughter as I watch Wiggles spoof videos on YouTube. I don't know why it took me so long to find these, but this is my current favorite. The best part is how it really looks like Wags the Dog is flashing gang signs.
I like watching Worst Cooks in America because it makes me feel better about my own cooking skills. I may melt plastic in the oven, but at least I don't cook salmon in the dishwasher like that one dude on the show.
Yesterday I saw a rabid raccoon cross the street right in front my car on my street and my first reaction was to ask my husband to shoot it. Living in the country is corrupting me.

| I don't have rabies, I just brushed my teeth. |
I knew it had rabies because it was visibly disoriented and repeatedly fell over and twitched and then got back up and tried to run, only to fall again and again. My husband said the neighbors wouldn't like him shooting anything and our second option was a shovel, but then I remembered that Animal Control was probably the best option. The raccoon was long gone by the time we had discussed our options, so now I'm just on the lookout for it again. I'm worried the dog would go after it, but hopefully it can't climb our fence.
What's your latest favorite funny YouTube video? Leave a link in the comments so I can laugh my way through nap time today!
That Wiggles video is amazing. Now that I've seen some Wiggles episodes i feel that it's even funnier.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad i'm not the only one disgusted by leftover avocado. And I hate wasting food. It's like cutting up a banana to eat later. It just doesn't work.
There is nothing grosser than leftover banana!
DeleteEvery one of my ungrateful kids said dada way before they said mama. Even though I was the one who did everything--warm milk machine, poop cleaner, puke wiper-upper. Didn't matter. Dada. :P No. I'm not resentful. much.
ReplyDeleteYou tube? I barely have time to read my favorite blogs let alone search you tube. Plus my stupid connection at home buffers constantly so you can't watch anything continuously. Bugs me so I don't bother.
No YouTube at home? Oh man, I don't know if I could handle that. :)

ReplyDeleteI just tried avacado for the first time tonight. I literally gagged. I was trying to show Logan that you are supposed to eat it and figured I should try it to. Instead he imitated me spitting.
ReplyDeleteI just eat it with salt and tortilla chips! It's an acquired taste with the texture, but I love it. :)

ReplyDeleteOMG, that Wiggles video was so funny! And now I'm *really* curious what diana said. Three times.
ReplyDeleteShe just had 4 duplicate comments, nothing racy I promise. I never delete comments unless it's just a duplicate. :)
DeleteYour photo captions always make me laugh, thank you.
ReplyDeleteNot sure how true it is, but I've heard raccoon's can get drunk from fermented fruit in the trash.
Ditto to this: "I'm *really* curious what diana said. Three times."
Well, read Diana's original comment. Then read it 3 more times. That's it. Just a duplicate issue :)
DeleteI just figured out my two are a month older than your wee one, and if they arrived on time instead of early they would be the same age.
ReplyDeleteTalking is a problem round here, lthey speak but I feel like they are behind everyone, especially the little man who can literally run a km, but is way below target onthe words. Mama is one of the only words they say, overandoverand over again.
Pretty sure I'm failing them horribly in the language department, but they will rock the chin up requirement in gym class.
(I had to give up the stroller, ours was heavy, 40 pounds empty plus 60 plus pounds of kids). It's sad as I liked pushing them and running, but it killed my back!!
my child didn't say momma until about 1 month ago and now it is #1 most used / most abused word. i don't think this video is funny, but the first time blaine saw it he LITERALLY fell over laughing so hard. see if faith likes it. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SAosbLOXoI
ReplyDeleteI can barely push myself through runs, let alone a child in a stroller. My little brother refused to say my name until he was 4. It was a hilarious joke to him.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen Elmo singing "I'm Elmo and I know it?" That just cracks me up.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to know how she even heard the word CUNT. Shame shame.
I admit that I curse occasionally in front of the kid, but that word isn't even in my vocab :)
DeleteThis is the worst confessions post ever. I demand more juice.
ReplyDeleteBeetlejuice, Beetlejuice, BEETLEJUICE!
DeleteI'm fond of the "I'm Elmo and I know it" video Laurie mentioned.
ReplyDeleteI went for my first stroller run today -and when I was going into the wind, I thought it was going to be an epic fail.
The wind is the worst! Congrats on your first stroller run!
DeleteI agree with Brian. This was the least juicy confessions post ever.
ReplyDeleteAlso, zombie raccoons: http://tinyurl.com/bvcwa55
I am with you on the leftovers avocado & banana grossness. Blech!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpyK6Ojnl-0
ReplyDeleteJust telling someone about it makes me laugh until I cry.
How to french kiss a dog, hahahahahaha
DeleteThank you. I'm totally with you on gross brown avocado leftovers. One good thing about moving to California: 50 cent avocados. I think I've eaten avocado on probably 30 of the 40 days we've lived here.
ReplyDeleteI don't blame you for not wanting to push 50lbs into wind for more than 4 miles, sounds hard.
I had the fortune of meeting a rabid raccoon on the towpath while running before...that thing actually chased me. I'm still scared.
50 cent avocados?? Man, I'd be turning green from eating too many if they were that cheap here.
Delete1. Stop coming until she says "Mommy". Problem solved.
ReplyDelete2. This confirms my suspicion that marrying someone who hates avocados was the right choice.
3. Katniss wouldn't have asked a man to shoot it for her, so next time, do it yourself. Man up.
I don't have gun skills, but I do have swords. That would be a messy end. :)
DeleteThank you for preemptively telling me how you knew it was rabid.
ReplyDeleteAlyssa is right about #3. I thought you had skills.
My son has a stuffed animal. It's the FAO puppy dog and he decided to name it "Baxter", only, at 4 years old he couldn't pronounce it and called the dog "Bastard" instead. Still makes for a great laugh. At 9 years old he still sleeps with Bastard. Shit that dog stinks.
ReplyDeleteThere is someone that cooked salmon in the dishwasher?? Oh snap. I'm a horrible cook as well. I mean, really horrible.
He even called it "Dishwasher Salmon"
DeleteI'm sorry, but the "cunt" story is hilarious (although probably not to your husband)!
ReplyDeleteRaccoons creep me out. I don't blame you for wanting to shoot it.
Trust me, we both laugh when she calls him that, especially since we know she's trying to say something else, but only she knows.
DeleteWhat does she do when she's upset and wants you to comfort her? Mine says "Mama" but instead of "dada" says "Daaaaaaaaddddyyyyy". Such a weirdo, that one. I've learned that avocados stay really well in a fridge, in a container, as long as the seed is still there. Although I prefer that avocado serves one because...well...I just really like avocado.
ReplyDeleteIf she's upset and wants me, she screams. If she's having a tantrum and I'm not coming, she'll relocate herself and restart the tantrum right in front of me. She is my little drama queen.
DeleteZain calls me mama, but only when he really needs something. He'd prefer to just whine at me until I do what he wants. In the stroller over the weekend, he needed more snacks so he started going "mom! mom! mom! mom!" It was pretty funny.
ReplyDeleteI hear you about the stroller and the wind. When I saw how windy it was yesterday, I just didn't even bother to try to run in it.
I know when she starts saying it that it is going to drive me nuts, but it's not like my life is free from annoyances now. :)
DeleteBe careful! Rabies are dangerous!
ReplyDeleteWhat does she call you guys if not mommy and daddy? Or does she just refuse to call you by title and yell "come" instead?
If she wants us, she just cries and we come. It's a pretty sweet deal for her.
DeleteI would have been shooting that raccoon in no time. I grew up in country, y'all. ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou make me laugh! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm totally with you on the avocado - and sometimes, I just pretend that I don't have one so I don't have to share. I love avocados - they are insanely delicious!
Confession: If I hadn't read this, I wouldn't know it was weird that your kid wasn't saying mom yet.
ReplyDeleteWe went to brunch with another couple and I knew they were bringing their six month baby. The waitress asked if we needed a high chair or what and I was like "ummmm....not a clue what a six month old can do. Maybe?" I'm clueless.
Also, I have no issues with leftover avocados, but I still nearly always eat a whole one. They're just that delicious!
Yikes on the crazy raccoon running around. It took my son forever to call me Mommy, he kept calling my dada.
ReplyDeleteI nearly never watch youtube so I can't even give you a good link for a video. I do watch Zuzanna Lights workout of the week on there sometimes though
Hey. That raccoon belongs here, I recognize it. It was just tired out because we started taking it on parts of the tempo runs. Bring it back.
