While We're On the Subject of Laughing...

A comment on the last video I posted was in regards to the mom saying "Do it again" .... this is another reason I have loved that giggling quad video since I saw it years ago. The mother's accent, and the babies' synchronized laughing made it perfect.

Something like this too....really, the whole premise is kind of -- well -- dull. But, add in the accent and that it's two freakin adorable kidlets, well, that's true humor right there.




How much lust do you have?




Your Lust Quotient: 72%



You are a very lustful person - and it sometimes gets the better of you!

You know how to hold back, but you hardly ever do.

I think I blushed a thousand shades of red

The other night I spent the evening on my best girlfriend's couch, laughing the evening away.

Lately our conversations have taken a different turn, and I know much more about her than I ever thought possible (and don't get me wrong, this is not a complaint - it's just that she opened up a door and I've had to pick my jaw off the floor a couple times. Well, maybe not. Because I don't shock that easily.)

So, her husband walks in and announces that he's going upstairs to shower. We continue our discussion (at this point another girlfriend had also come over and joined us) and then I hear the water running upstairs.

At this particular moment adult ADD kicked in, and I couldn't focus on anything. Fearing that I'd be asked a question or that I was sitting there with my eyes glazed over, I interrupted and apologized for my bout with ADD and announced that all I could think about was the fact that my girlfriend's husband was upstairs. Naked. In the shower.

She took it like a sport, and just said "And he's right above where you are sitting, too!", to which I looked at the ceiling and felt the warmth rush across my face.

Even with it being completely non-sexual (I wasn't picturing him naked - just distracted by the thought that he was upstairs naked), I still blushed a thousand shades of red.

Hold My Hand

When my son was about 2, he enjoyed being "free" in the stores; no stroller, no shopping cart. Just being able to walk and use those legs for what they were intended.

Except he didn't always want to hold a hand (honestly, who can blame a kid with the height differences -- either the adult is hunched over or the kid has their arm upwards -- it really can't be that comfortable), so we bought one of these:



It was a simple device that we wore on our wrist, and he wore on his. It gave him enough distance to be "free", but kept him near enough that we knew he was safe.

When I was pregnant with my daughter, my folks and I went to Babies R Us to browse, and my dad and my son were tethered together with the Hold My Hand device. My mom and I were shopping while the boys were browsing by the baby furniture.

Imagine my dad's surprise when he sees a small figure run past him, and when he turns and looks -- there's the other end of the Hold My Hand device connected to a dresser knob.

Needless to say, that device didn't get much use after that.

The Things Kids Say

Someone or something was irritating me the other day and apparently I was yelling about it in the car.

From the backseat, my son pipes up:

"Don't blow your socks off, Mom!"
