The one about bikers, beer and stereotypes. (And Twilight.)

November 26, 2011 11 Comments

Carlsberg beer made a commercial where they rented a small movie theater.  There are 150 seats and they filled 148 of them with tattooed, leather clad, body pierced biker-types.  They left 2 seats open, right in the middle of all of those bikers… What would you do? Such an interesting example of human behavior, isn’t […]

My son weighs in on Ricki Lake’s birth plan….

November 14, 2011 21 Comments

Ricki Lake is famous for several things, but one of her more recent projects was to film the birth of her baby… in a bathtub… in her apartment… with a midwife.  I’m not going to provide any social commentary here. (cough, cough, epidural!, cough, cough) To each, her own. Last week, Handsome Hubby and I […]

Scene: driving Grant to his football game last night.  I am punching through radio stations, looking for a good song.  Grant pipes up from the back seat… Grant: “Mom, do you want to know what my favorite song is?  Born To Be Wild!” Me: “oooo! Nice one!” Grant: “And also? No Sleep Til Brooklyn.” Me: “The […]

Grant has a discerning palate. Who’d a thought…?

November 8, 2011 9 Comments

I made a little dessert to take to a friend’s house for Halloween night. It was very, very, very sweet. Too sweet for me, but I figured the boys would eat them. Grant had one.  A little while later I offered him another one. Grant: “No thanks.” Me: “Don’t you like it?” Grant: “No, it’s […]

Second Grade Plagiarism

November 5, 2011 9 Comments

The epic Battle of the Homework takes place on a regular basis at our house. Grant is good at math and he seems to enjoy the subject, so the math assignments get done quickly and easily. He is also good at reading and language arts, but he does NOT enjoy those subjects, so those assignments […]

We should let my 2nd grader take a crack at the economy…

October 28, 2011 15 Comments

Grant had homework that included reading a short story and answering questions about it. The story was about a park ranger named Ranger Dockett and all he does as a part of his job. The question Grant was supposed to answer: What would happen if Ranger Docket stopped doing his job? What I think the […]

September 24, 2011 11 Comments

Saturday Night Live is a favorite in our household… the Andy Samberg Digital Shorts in particular. Scene: the dinner table.  One of the boys is talking about how cool it would be to have a camera mounted on a remote control car, and all the things it would be good for.  (The things it would […]

Can UPS deliver some fashion sense…?

September 16, 2011 21 Comments

My guys (all of ’em) seem to have trouble putting together a decent outfit. Things I have said: That doesn’t match… you can’t wear stripes and plaids…  yes, but your shoes don’t go with that… your shirt is on inside-out…  I don’t care if the colors match! Basketball shorts and a button down shirt don’t […]
