Random Musings from the Mothership....


Can I get an Amen that our first week of school is almost behind us, and M2 is liking the whole deal. Guess I won't find her behind 7-11 smoking cigarettes when I think she's in her Science class. Not that I did that, or skipped class so much my senior year I got my car yanked two weeks before graduation. (thanks Super D, I probably needed that one). She is so funny, though, when I ask her if there are any cute boys, she puts her hands over her ears and yells' blah blah blah I can't hear you' which she has also said the two times I have asked her if she wanted to have 'the talk'. Yes, she is eleven and unless they've spelled it out on Spongebob, I'm pretty sure she is not up to speed on that subject. That will be an entire post and a good bottle of Chardonnay for me afterwards, and I hope I will be saying 'that went well'.

I was listening to the Today show while I was in my office working, and when Willard Scott was doing the birthdays, one caught my attention. A lady named Mildred Hussey was 101, and Willard said 'Mildred grew up in Pennsylvania while helping run the Hussey farm.' I suddenly thought of how you would run a Hussey Farm, like take a number at the gate? You pay more for the older experienced Hussey's? And thinking pretty sure that the farmers next door didn't mind their neighbors much, especially if they could get a glipse of what the Hussey's were wearing each day. Or if the Hussey's didn't lower the shades in the barn at night..........I think I like the word Hussey, its so much more PC than Slutty. But then again, I do know some girls that should be turned out on the Slutty farm, but thats another blog on a day when I'm in the clown suit.

Then I read a column some lady wrote in the Dallas Morning News and she was talking about her kids watching the Olympics and they were not going to correct the fact that they called one of the events
Secret Nice Swimming. I love kids translations, interpretations, etc, so much. One of my friends 5 yr old plays the rock and roll video thing and he thinks the song he loves is called Juice Box Hero. He also calls the airport Gar-Field instead of Love Field. One time M2 asked me why we have students in our eyes. I said what? and she said it again, and then, thinking like a toddler, I said 'do you mean pupils? and she said YES! Good lord, its amazing we get them past the age of three with this communication gap. Especially when they get so frustrated they add screaming to the conversation and then mom has to go 'freshen' her iced tea to get through the translation.

Since M2 was small, she heard the word Lawton since that is where I am from. When 9/11 happened, we of course were keeping her away from the tv (she was three) and finally, after several weeks, and many days at preschool, she came home and said she knew someone bad hit the buildings with a plane. And I said yes, we are going to find him and put him in jail because he did a bad thing, 'And she said "I know his name " and I'm thinking this is going to be good, so I said what is it? And she said "Oh Someone From Lawton". I do know some people from there that may be terrorists by now, but I don't think its THAT one.



This is the weekend we throw the par-tay for Super D, so I'll be trying to keep her sober long enough to get some good pictures. (I am SO kidding she may have one glass of wine, and then a sip or two out of mine). We can all only hope we are rocking and rolling like her at 85- she says its because of a great sex life, and then I put my hands over my ears and say "blah blah blah I can't hear you'

have a great weekend- don't Labor too long on anything but keeping your feet up

My dear BJ,
Of course there was a sleeper cell in your
ole home town. I went there weekly in the 80's and the fellow M2 is relating to is Osama Bin Lawton. He had a tire store there and sold me some of my best fire arms. They were all Govt. issued U.S. military arms that Billery Clinton sold him in the Iraq-Afganistan confict.
Lawton; as you know is a hotbed of terroist activety. Nevermind, it will go away if not already. Theres' another guy we need to watch from Lawton: Leon Russellini the piano playing Rock Legend that claims he's from Tulsa.
Then there is Barack Hussien Obamalawton. Watch this guy, I here he is running for a major office in our govt.
Love,
Daddio

Hey boys! I love it when I check in here that my comments are from two men!!!! Chris, do you also remember showing M2 her baby doll Haley smoking a cigarette?? That was classic...Alex, the guy that owned the tire store was probably our mayor also, so its all good. If God has a plan, a hurricane would skip over LA and TX and hit Lawton so they could start over.
Im guessing you haven't seen the Obama sticker on my car, but I don't do politics on my blog. Only trash talk before OU plays Texas...now thats important

thanks for stopping by
