Sourland in trouble

[N F C]

Poor kid. I can see not letting him have a dozen but what's the big deal about 1. "Gratuitous sugar and carbohydrates" are ok in moderation (assuming there isn't a dire medical reason for not enjoying).

 

[sourland]

Maybe if I had said, "You can have one of each kind?"

Sour, your story stuck with me all afternoon (as I was baking a cake made with gratuitous sugar and carbohydrates).

That kid's mother must be a joy at holidays. No candy canes from Santa, no Thanksgiving pumpkin pie from Grandma, no candy eggs from the Easter Bunny, no trick or treat loot? And what about a birthday cake...does that fall under the "no" category?

Some people really know how to suck the fun out of life.

I was tempted to ask her to define 'gratuitous', but opted for discretion.

 

[N F C]

Are you sure it was discretion kicking in or was it the Princess kicking you along?

 

[sourland]

So we are on round three (the final round I might add) of cooky making and a rock/Christmas songs starts playing. I grab the Princess and we start dancing. I say, "Hey, this is just like a Cialis moment." She shakes her head stops dancing and says, "Oh, Lord." Did I do something wrong?

Oh my gosh! This so reminded me of an Evan story!

When Evan was about 5, and he and Tam were still living with us, he was laying on the floor whining about his tummy.
“Evan,” I asked him. “Does it hurt or is it like you feel like you want to throw up?”
There was a pause, then a long, dramatic sigh.
“I think I’ll be alright, Gramma. I think I just have erectile dysfunction.”
I can’t remember what I said or did, I just remember laughing until I cried. But I remember him looking at me and telling me that if he didn’t get medical help in four hours he was gonna die.

*sigh* You and Critter really are long-lost brothers, aren't you?

Sour, what are we gonna do with you?
