I know how you all love it when I wait until I'm dopey and exhausted to write up these Five Question Fridays. Me + Fatigue = Overly honest answers. And I'm probably way to exhaustion-intoxicated to be doing this, but question #3 was my suggestion, so I kinda have to do it anyway - right?
1. What do you do when you have time to yourself?
Pick my nose, eat the candy I hid from the kids, (usually before I pick my nose though), read, and back in the day I used to watch The Girls Next Door. I felt really ashamed about it, but it was like a train wreck that I couldn't take my eyes off of. That was a mind blowing show.
2. When you look out your kitchen window, what do you see?
The radar towers on top of a mountain that I told my kids is the place where the last dinosaurs on Earth are held, and if you drive up there and get as close to the electric fence as you can, you can hear them roaring inside the towers. I told them that because it was easier than trying to explain what a radar tower is. And I don't think the fence is actually electric, but the government posted signs there threatening the life of anyone who tries to get too close to the towers. It only helps my story, really.
Oh, and I also see this kind of thing out my window. It's nice, too:
3. Who/What would you want to be reincarnated as?
A fly. Because I would love to sit on the wall of some people's homes who I think are freaks times a hundred and see how much more amusing/stupid/abnormal they are when they think no one is looking.
4. What is your biggest pet peeve about other people's kids?
Oh, man, you should have read the rant I just deleted from this very space. Let me just say that a child who considers himself an equal to an adult makes me want to remind him of his place. I know that might sound off, but if you think about it - it'll make sense.
5. Regular or Diet soda?
Regular. And I had about six cans today, which makes me an official addict. But in my defense, I didn't finish a one of them because my three year old kept stealing them, and once another person's lips have touched my can, I can't have anything to do with it anymore.
Great answers. Made me laugh which is always a good thing. I agree kids that think they are equeal to you just need to be knocked down a peg. Respect is a beautiful thing. Love your story about the radar towers.

AHAHAHAHHAHAAAAA I love the radar tower story. I used to watch the GND pretty faithfully, all of em, trainwrecks! Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteHahaha. Dinosaurs in the radar tower, too funny. I can't wait to tell my kids stuff like that. "When the ice cream man is playing his music, it means he's out of ice cream!" Too harsh?
ReplyDeleteLoL your second answer cracked me up!!! Hope you have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI can give you a great new train wreck to watch Thanks to my hubbies obsession with it - Bad Girls Club. What a mess!
ReplyDeleteBUT can you o all three of those spare time activities at once???? Try it and let me know how it goes!
ReplyDeleteEEEEEEEEEwwwwwwwwwwwww - Lily is famous for her backwash in pop cans and bottles. If she touches it its hers! Jeff gets so mad that I buy her her own bottle of pop or she gets her own can out. It's a waste of money! Well I will waste that $1.19 and save my body the gross floaties!
ReplyDeleteI cannot share drinks either. Ever. With anyone. Once someone else takes a sip, I'm out!
ReplyDeleteThe fact that you've got your kids thinking that the last dinosaurs are living behind the electric fence further confirms my thoughts in an earlier comment. You're going to be living in a bunker. Hope your wireless router works down there, it should make for interesting reading!
I'm totally that way with milk. You touch my milk...it's yours.
ReplyDeleteThe dinosaur story is awesome. If your kids have half the imagination you display, I want to be a fly on YOUR living room wall one day. I think it would be a good show. As long as the kids stay in the room. I don't need to be seeing the gold-diggin' show.
ReplyDeleteinteresting dinosaur story! very creative, miss bethany.
ReplyDeletebut i really, really like your idea about being a fly on the wall. now that is some good stuff right there.
You had me at "lips on my can"...
ReplyDeleteI have to agree about the pipsqueaks who think they are mini-adults. And want to hang with the adults even when other kids are around. Ugh.
I KNEW you wouldn't like diet soda...it's just yucky.
