The Wrong Kind of Hurricanes for WE's Happy Hour!

[Miss Mia]

Is the party over here? Ok. 

If you're here it's always a p-a-r-t-y.   

Hi Mia! At one time, I was the party, now I am a tired old lady. 

You?  An old lady?  Ha!  Never!!! 

Yes, it is time for me to turn the page on this chapter of my life.... I am resigned to live out my twilight years with dignity. 

Pshaw, that's for losers.  Or ugly people.

You're neither.   

[Wretched Excess]

this is going to sound stupid and square, and probably it will SCREW up my reputation,  but the way I see it, anytime your parents make over
you, it's a pretty good day.

NERD ALERT!!!!


Ahh, yeah it really did brighten my day.

she does it for the attention . . . . and it works.

Schade doing something for attention...well, that's just unheard of!

yeah, I know.  not to mess up the tone of a WE happy hour thread, but I adore my parents.

[Odin's Hand]

Slurricanes!

the puns and plays on words on that reply are too numerous to count.

just read my mind, and laugh.  you know what I am thinking.

Slurricanes!

only after about six or sleven

I certainly do not adore them.  My parents have faults.  Though as I get older, I see my dad clearly trying to be much better at showing his "love" of me towards me.  If that makes sense.  I really understand how much I mean to him and just a few years ago, well I didn't.  He really tries his best.

My mom is a self-absorbed alcoholic.  The only reason she told me happy birthday yesterday is because I called her about something else.  *shrug*

my parents were morons when I was 20, but gradually became more and more intelligent until I hit 30.  then, they became geniuses.

they must have taken courses or something

No, my dad is a natural born asshole.  I think I just understand him more and he's come to show his appreciation for his only child more. 


Did I tell you that I found out that I'll be an excellent mom one day?

yep.  the "mom tone of voice".  but I think we would be interested in hearing it.

[Miss Mia]

It got a "yes ma'am" in response.    I didn't know I had it in me.

tell the story, for heaven's sake.  it's a good one.

Sorry.


So, last weekend one aunt, uncle, cousin and fiance evacuated from Gustav.  SE Texas was under a mandatory evacuation and they decided to come on up here.    

On Monday, they wanted to go to Cabelas.  I've never been there, probably will never go back (it's a huge hunting/fishing store).  But since they wanted to go, I wanted to go.  Well, the oldest two nephews decided they wanted to go, and I wanted to give my brother and SIL and the baby a break and said I could take them.

This is the first time I've ever drove my nephews anywhere and been all on my own, besides babysitting at their house. 

So there we are in Cabelas.  My nephews are 5 & 7 years old.  The 5 year old started the fighting.  AND I grab him on the shoulder and lean over, and say in the serious-whisper-mom voice "I know there's not a timeout chair here, but I WILL FIND ONE IF I HAVE TO."  He replies "yes ma'am."

That's the moment that I knew if I have kids I'll be a great mom.

I think there is more to being a mom besides "the voice", although I admit that IS a big part of it.

cool story, though.  I enjoyed it.

Yes, but I'm already willing to discipline when needed.   Damnit, this is the conservative side slipping out.
