Things Said Over Here

We all know that the things voiced in the privacy of our own homes are a little less filtered. Most of the funny / cute things said around here come from our kids these days. Like most parents we love to capture it and tell the world in a "look how funny my kid it" moment.

The thing is, they had to learn from somewhere though, and it seems we might be teaching them to speculate life more than I realized. Let's face it... we all have issues. Doesn't mean it's not funny! So enjoy...this ones for my kids to enjoy many, many, many years from now.

Convo one:
E: Did you know they have scented suppositories?
R: Really? Why?
E: I guess so your shit don't stink, literally!
R: Hmmm, interesting.

Convo two:
E: Do you think camels get are offended by us?
R: In general?
E: No, when we compare their toes to a vagina.
R: Maybe. They probably make fun of us though. No humps, two legs...
E: Yeah, good point.
 
Convo three:
E: Hey will you rub my back? It really hurts. (meanwhile, grabs cookie)
R: Around your shoulders or lower back?
E: Lower back... Hey maybe if you rub my butt while I eat cookies it will send brain waves to tell my cookie where to send the fat.
R: You're ridiculous (laughing)
E: Yeah, but just in case let me grab another cookie. One for each cheek, I can't be havin a lopsided butt.

"Christian" Beliefs on Gay

Let's start this morning with politics and religion. I feel like asking for a difficult day and I've kept my mouth shut long enough (it doesn't come naturally to me anyways.)

I'm personally getting really sick and tired of hearing "Christians" say that they are against gay marriage because it goes against their beliefs. Are you the one wanting to get married? Then what does it have to do with you? What about the Christian belief to love one another in spite of difference. What about God giving us free will? Unless this is your personal battle, it's not your business! It's not your place to judge people! I'm not gay and I'm a Christian but I have many gay friends and I love them just the same. At the end of the day, we are human, we are ALL entitled to make different choices etc.... Stop the judgment and controlling, it's not your place! No wonder people have the wrong idea about church and God.

Oh, and by the way, anybody reading this and taking it personally, I love you too, even though we have differences! Difference is what makes the world an interesting and beautiful place. Can we cherish that for once instead of trying to change everything to fit in this little box of how some individuals think it should be just to ensure your personal comfort?! I'm so sick of political correctness! It's sucking the zest out of life!

An 80's Baby

This is what I will always be at heart. It seems that now matter how old I get or how my preferences evolve, I will always be an 80's baby. Some days are only started correctly when Nirvana is the first thing on the radio. I don't have a lot that I remember about my childhood. I've blocked most of it out or something. Blocking it out seems like a better reasoning that just forgetting. Forgetting makes me feel old and I know that's not the case just yet. I do remember selective things though.. it's strange the items my brain seems to have retained.

The Candy:
Bonkers, Sixlets, Pop Rocks, Candy Cigarettes, Big League Chew.. there were no concerns of putting too much sugar in candy in the 80's.

The Music:
A sweet combo of Big Hair Bands, true Hip-Hop and the beginnings of Alternative sounds. Let's not forget to mention that MTV aka: Music Television was actually MUSIC Television. Not reality TV.

The Halloween Costumes:
We were set with a trip to Goodwill or some bed sheets and a sewing machine.

The General Mentality:
It was still ok to leave your door unlocked at night or occassionally ride without your seatbelt in the back of a truck.

Oh how I miss a summer afternoon of sitting by the pool eating candies and hanging out with my friends. Some good old John Mellencamp in the background and not a care in the world. Ahhh.
