Oops, one is 20 now. Have to say "my young adult children!" They are such cool people and their wicked sense of humor makes me laugh. And I should know better than to read your blog when I'm coughing out a lung and laughing exacerbates it! :-D Picking up your stuff, you should have said “Well, surely that merited an LOL!” ;-) I, too, am grateful for my teenagers.

But kudos to you for actually SAYING it and not jut thinking it!

I hate it when you lay down a zinger and storm off only to be called back on a penalty. Still, well played. That was awesome!!

You never fail to put a smile on my face. But this one made me roll in laughter! I would feel bad for you if it weren't so funny! Anyway, thanks for keeping us all laughing - it's a true talent!

I laughed so much. And even when I say 'lol' it doesn't necessarily mean that I actually...well.... lol'd. But I did tonight!! Thanks! I applaud you for telling The Disgruntled One to smile... even if it did backfire on you. ;) Oh my goodness. I laughed so much.

Our son (almost 4)is NOTORIOUS for in-store performances that leave a trail of angry customers and employees behind us. This from our overall sweet, even tempered baby boy. All I can tell people is that whenever we go into a public place some small part of his brain explodes and causes a complete meltdown. We have started preemptive bribery. The minute we walk into the store we grab the first cheap shiny thing we can find and shove it into his hands....then we have approximately 20 to 30 minutes before meltdown, depending on the coolness of the toy. That way we're not rewarding bad behavior, per se, more like "preventing". Or at least that's our justification. I hope you can find a way to sneak out and shop by yourself once you get those cupons delivered to your door! I’ll admit I laughed…but I was laughing WITH you not at you!
