You gave me a big smile with these lists. Oh to go back to freshman year in collage... ouch. That hurt.
I wasn't a freshman in college in '98.....more like pushing 30...I am a late developer...hehe.
Kids are great. No need for extra fries now that we can eat theirs instead. Great idea. Will keep me thinking...why no olive?
Hilarious......kids sure change a lot, don't they? Great post idea!
I'm pretty sure #1 is uttered every day in this house.
The poop one that is. Though I do say "Whatsup G" - dear hubby's names starts with G. It's not because I'm cool.
Em
P.S. my 100 list, I made it to #84 in under 10 minutes. The last 16 trickled in. I was surprised. Thanks for reading it all!!
Lol! Funny how things change!
At least life keeps on changing, right? Can you imagine if you were still saying, "What's up G?" all the time? Yikes.
1998 would of been the year of "I HATE YOU!" to my ex husband. Course, I still think it. I'm just not married to him anymore.
2008 is "Please do dishes!" to Child Husband.
What's wrong with saying, "What's up, G?"
KIDDING!
Oh, this post is so true. And so sad. ;)
I've told you before and I am going to tell ya again...I could copy and paste everything you post. I lived pre and post, but you say it so witty!!
I love the "sufficient funds"
*SNORT* *GUFFAW* So sadly true! We learn an entirely different language when we become mothers. And it sure ain't a glamorous one! Awesome post...very funny stuff!
Betcha wouldn't trade list #2 for list #1!
I left you something on my post today. BG
Ten years ago? Hmm. I was 24. What the hell was I doing at 24? Ah yes, working midnights at a hotel front desk! Top quotes:
1) No, we do not have "pink pillow service" here
2) Rob, the guy on the phone wants to talk to a man about "pink pillow service"
LOL... Oh yeah.... that sounds pretty dang familiar... minus the kitty litter stuff.
Funny! My favorite post-kid saying, "why do I have to repeat myself over and over and over" I started cracking up when I realized I was repeating myself in that rant!
This is hilarious. Oh how children turn our lives upside down! ;o)
