The first parenting blunder of the year.

January 2, 2009 2 Comments

I spent New Year’s Day “un-decorating” the house. Literally, the whole day. By 9:00 in the evening, I was exhausted and wanted a long hot shower. I had the TV on while packing up ornaments.
It did not occur to me to turn it off when I left the room. Jerry Maguire was on… what’s bad about that?

You complete me.
You had me at hello.
The human head weighs 8 poundths (from cute little kid with glasses and a lisp)

So what could be bad?

Um, how about Kelly Preston, naked and bouncing up and down on Tom Cruise’s lap while screaming “Never! Stop! Fucking! Me!” and nearly breaking the headboard of his bed.

Rich told me he walked in from the garage at the exact moment that scene was on. Grant was standing in front of the TV with a concerned look on his face. “Dad, what’s this movie?!”

Twenty one hours into 2009 and I’m already out of the running for mother of the year.
Ef me.

    This is freaking hilarious. I can only imagine Rich at that exact moment. Nothing wrong with a little exposure… now that, that is A LOT of exposure though! So something I would have probably done…
