Why is it that my son thinks he can talk about anything with JR and I at the dinner table? For some reason he thinks that I want to hear about his latest sexual escapades, his shaving needs (his face you pervs. Please God I don't want to even know or imagine any other places. Ewwww..) now that he has a girlfriend, and his speed or lack there of. Isn't there a law or something? While I find it is nice that he feels like he can be so open with me and his dad do I really need to know about his nether regions? Didn't I have to deal with those 20 odd years ago?
I made what I thought was a wonderful corn pudding for dinner last night. I gave it 2 thumbs up, JR gave it 1 thumb up & 1 thumb down and The Boy gave it 2 thumbs down. Since, his vote doesn't count because he eats, lives and messes up my house for free and he only like corn on the cob I'm calling the pudding a success. Tonight said corn pudding and the leftover risotto are going to be transformed into corn chowder thus making it go farther and pissing The Boy off. 2 thumbs down my a**.
The Boy tried to kill us last night. He lit a fire in the fireplace (fireplace in Phoenix, go figure) then closed the damper when he went to bed. In his defense he thought the fire was out all the way.
Lesson one: carbon monoxide detectors are a good thing.
Lesson two: insomnia (I was up at 2:30 am) is not always a bad thing.
Lesson three: tell The Boy that our life insurance will not pay all of our debts (true or not, I don't want him getting any ideas).
I thought I would be happy with anything I got for Christmas from JR this year but I just paid bills online and saw where JR spent money on his Christmas shopping spree. I didn't see an entry for Michael's or any other art supply store which means no new easel for me. Damn it!! He best not have gotten me another meat thermometer. I thought he learned that lesson the hard way back in 1986.

Now I'm totally curious as to what you did with said thermometer to teach him his lesson...
ReplyDelete...although that may be TMI as well. Maybe you can save that story for the next time your son starts regaling you with his sexcapades?
Michelle -- I'm so glad your carbon monoxide detector worked, too! Ours went off about 9 p.m. one night and although our cats continued to wander around undisturbed, I was in a bit of a panic mode and called our heating/air/radon removal guy who'd given me the carbon monoxide detector. He told me to get out of the house and when he got here, he patiently showed me -- again, as it turns out, but who can remember these things? -- which sound means to change the battery and which sound means to abandon ship.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
I have a brother 10 years younger--I understand about that sometimes "too much information" scenario.
ReplyDeleteI'm thankful your detector worked!! Not a fun at all!
ReplyDeleteYour boy sounds like a character!!! Too much info? Eeeeeww! How we put a stop to it is start up some fictionally story about us! Just starting the story and it stops. SHUTS THEM UP EVERYTIME!! Of cousre we never tell them a true story.
Now I'm beginning to understand why our adult children think we are nuts most of the time!!!!! LOL
And that's why I have a dog - she can't get the matches to work. Glad you're okay!
ReplyDeleteBwah hahahahahah! I completely forgot what I was going to write when I noticed my word verification is "hunkspa." And on that note, I'm off to add some Bailey's to my coffee.
ReplyDeleteI am trying so hard NOT to figure out how JR 'learned the hard way' with a meat thermometer.
ReplyDeleteI am laughing so hard right now! Thanks, i needed that. I'm sorry- people trying to kill each other will do that....
ReplyDeleteI really hope it's not a meat thermometer or we'll find out your husband's internal temperature, won't we?
ReplyDeleteYour son releasing sex info? WAY too much info. I'm sending you patience doused in wine. May it keep you slightly pickled until the holidays are over.
Merry Christmas, Michele!
My family is 50/50 on the corn pudding as well. I, however, love the stuff. So you and I can have dinner together anytime!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
