Last night Emma and I went to see Nanny McPhee. I really enjoyed it. There's something about someone coming in and making unruly children behave that appeals to me.
Today is my oldest son's 17th birthday. He seems to think that means it's his special day. I think it should be mine. I told him to strap a watermelon around his waist for a few months and then tell me who deserves special treatment. I know a watermelon doesn't exactly simulate what it's like to be pregnant but it's close enough. I would probably still have to sneak up and punch him in the kidneys once in a while to add to the experience.
Tonight we've been watching the Commercial Bowl XL. It made me start thinking - if you had a competition with a team of sports announcers and a team of U.S. Senators to see who could talk the longest without really saying anything, who would win?
Posted by marybeth at February 5, 2006 09:32 PM Family , Other StuffJust as the Commercial Bowl (love that one!) trophy is named for Vince Lombardi, the winner of the blowhard Senator contest must now and forever be known as the Joe Biden Award. Despite serious challenges from Robert Byrd, Ted Stevens, and an honorary mention for the now-departed Strom Thurmond, Biden wins going away.
