8 Things I've Learned Today
In no particular order:
- Rice Krispies Squares are low in fat, which means I can - and will, even if try not to - eat three times as many as I would brownies.
- It takes marshmallows to make those yummy little hip enhancers and marshmallows contain gelatin, which is an animal by-product. Please ask this vegetarian if she cares to be that hardcore. Go ahead: ask. The answer is no. I like marshmallows. I'm a walking contradiction and I'm going to Hell. Whatever. It's kind of like going down south, right? Warm weather, pitchforks. Do you think they serve lemonade? I like lemonade.
- To-do lists look very nice when they lie untouched on the counter.
- Strong The Force in Spawnling is, yes. Especially when tired he is also. More effective than Lightsabers sharp nails and baby teeth are. Defeated mommy was. Sore, too.
- Having Angelmama gift Gutsy with a Gameboy Advanced was by far the greatest thing she's ever done for us. Now we have extra leverage at bedtime. Not only can we encourage good behaviour with the promise of a new game at the end of the week, but we can also take the thing away when he just won't listen.
- Reorganizing the pantry with one's mother goes far more smoothly after bribing any exhausted toddlers with a donut or five.
- Having everything from the pantry all over the kitchen table, floor and counters in a sea of disorginazation and peril will result in a higher number of toddler tantrums and random phone calls.
- After the day I've had, the idea of going out to Walmart to buy eggs and dishsoap sounds about as good as a hot stone massage. I leave in 20 minutes. Peace out.
