Three cheers to our families strong Irish roots!

Concerning bagpipes: The Irish invented them and gave them to the Scots as a joke. Sadly, the Scots haven’t seen the joke yet.

I Want To Be Like Mommy!

I thought this was hilarious when my friend Lisa sent it to me. When Connor was about 4 he used to tell people that his ‘mommy worked on a corner’. We have no idea why. This reminded me of that.

A first grade girl handed in the drawing below for a homework assignment.

After it was graded and the child brought it home, she returned to school the next day with the following note:

Dear Ms. Davis,
I want to be very clear on my child’s illustration. It is NOT of me on a dance pole on a stage in a strip joint. I work at Home Depot and had commented to my daughter how much money we made in the recent snowstorm. This drawing is of me selling a shovel.

Mrs. Harrington

Sunday Comic: I Think My Kids May Need To Go Back to ‘School’

Today’s Sunday Comic comes direct from my kids mouths.

We were discussing recent world events the other night. We typically do this at dinner.

Connor rolls his eyes and says: “Geez, mom, the next thing I know you will be adopting kids from Heidi”

then Carter laughs and says “No, she will be buying children from a-freek-a”

*No, they were not trying to be funny. Yes, they watch the news. No, I have no idea why they apparently are geographically-phonetically challenged. No, I do not plan to  have any more children much less by buying them.

My friend Lisa sent this to me via email. I have no idea who to credit, so deal & enjoy!:)

A MAN WHO KNOWS HIS MATH

He writes: I was riding to work yesterday when I observed a female driver, who cut right in front of a pickup truck, causing the driver to drive onto the shoulder to avoid hitting her.

This evidently angered the driver enough that he hung his arm out his window and gave the woman the finger.

‘Man, that guy is stupid,’ I thought to myself. I ALWAYS smile nicely and wave in a sheepish manner whenever a female does anything to me in traffic, and here’s why:

I drive 48 miles each way every day to work. That’s 96 miles each day. Of these, 16 miles each way is bumper-to bumper Most of the bumper-to-bumper is on an 8 lane highway. There are 7 cars every 40 feet for 32 miles. That works out to 982 cars every mile, or 31,424 cars. Even though the rest of the 32 miles is notbumper-to-bumper, I figure I pass at least another 4000 cars. That brings the number to something like 36,000 cars that I pass every day. Statistically, females drive half of these. That’s 18,000 women drivers! In any given group of females, 1 in 28 has PMS. That’s 642. According to Cosmopolitan, 70% describe their love life as dissatisfying or unrewarding. That’s 449. According to the National Institute of Health, 22% of all females have seriously considered suicide or homicide. That’s 98. And 34% describe men as their biggest problem. That’s 33. According to the National Rifle Association, 5% of all females carry weapons and this number is increasing.

That means that EVERY SINGLE DAY, I drive past at least one female that has a lousy love life, thinks men are her biggest problem, has seriously considered suicide or homicide, has PMS, and is armed.

Give her the finger?

I don’t think so.
