Observations of a Day

  •  Apparently, a homeless person holding a sign that simply says "One fry short of a happy meal," will earn considerably more money than the guy standing on the very same corner later in the day holding a sign bearing the more traditional "Will work for food," or, "Every little bit helps," or even, "God bless".  Me?  I just wanna buy him a happy meal.
  • Once your toddler pulls all the  sandwich bags out of the brand new box you just put on the shelf, it is nearly impossible to fit them back in the box.  I suggest giving up and just cramming them all in a gallon size bag.
  • You may think the bank will not budge on the random charges they placed on your account (They do this every August/September.  Should I be sensing a pattern?), but you may be pleasantly surprised if you take the time to go in and speak with someone about it.
  • An empty milk jug and a long handled wooden spoon to bat it around with are infinitely more entertaining than the expensive toys you bought for them last week.  Christmas is going to be sooooo easy this year!
  • Nighttime potty training efforts improve significantly when sugary reimbursement is introduced. 
  • If you decide to stay in your favorite, most comfortable pair of hole-filled jammies to drop your child off at school, you will inevitably need to get out of the car for some reason in some very public place.
  • Asking your child, "How was your day?" when you pick them up after school can result in confusing responses such as, "Creepy."
  • No matter how many times you put "Click! Register! Give me a smiley!" at the bottom of your blog posts, a high percentage of people will still refuse to do so.

 

Click!  Register!  Give me a smiley!  Or else Humor-Blogs.com will steal a french fry from your happy meal.

  2. Try getting the costco size sandwich bags…you’ll need a garbage bag to fit them into.
