Happy May!

It’s warm and sunny and there is a mojito waiting for me. So let’s get straight to it.

They say nothing is for free but Robot Mommy said there should be at least 10 things we love that are and I wrote my list in 2 minutes flat so clearly she is right! I really love this weeks topic, thank you so much Kristi for choosing a winner!

Thanks to Jennifer for suggesting a list of 10 acronyms last week. Fun stuff!
Which brings me to next week’s topic, courtesy of Rachée:

You must be joking

May 1, 2013 by Stasha | 17 Comments

9 out of 10 women will choose a man with a sense of humor over a man with good looks, the recent study reveled.

I picked up Little J from preschool and he seemed a tad under the weather.

Little J: Mommy I need you to cheer me up.

Me: OK, what do you have in mind?

Little J: How about we drive down to Seattle, have some sushi and stop by the Lego store?

Me: Hmmm. How about I tell you a joke instead?

Little J: We are not going shopping right?

Me: No.

Little J: OK, let’s see if jokes work.

We stopped by to gas up the car and decided to go through the car wash. My two fool proof jokes did not do the trick so I quickly googled ‘kid friendly jokes’ and fired top 30 one after another. I must admit there were some great ones that even made me laugh. Like: what did zero say to an eight? Nice belt!

Little J and I took turns and he was countering every joke I delivered with one he made up on the fly. I am his mother and you know I love him more then the universe but boy oh boy. The kid cannot tell a joke to save his life.

Me: Why did the chicken cross the playground? To get to the other slide.

Little J: What did the zebra use to cross the road?

Me: ( sounds promising…) What?

Little J: A stick and a car.

Me: Hmmmmm… I don’t get it.

Little J: To balance across the stick and use the car to get to the other side.

Me: ???!!???!!!!!!!!!!!!??

For the record: my son is very, very witty. But jokes are not his thing. Luckily he is handsome. Let’s hope all those women were being polite when they said funny wins over good looking…

HTHAY?

That’s short for : Hi there, how are you? My own little acronym just for you. Because this time around we are making a list suggested by the lovely Jennifer: 10 acronyms you use regularly. Surprisingly I don’t use any except maybe JPEG ( Joint Photographic Experts Group ) and SOOC ( Straight Out Of Camera). I will admit that occasionally you will see me type LOL in the comments on your listicles but I am always truly laughing to tears when I do! So I asked my husband, who works in the Navy which is famous for never using words and always communicating in acronyms, to write me a list. I thought he will tell you all about that time I read him a text from his boss and said ‘jada jada jada kiss and a hug’. But apparently men don’t send each other kisses and XO stood for Executive Officer. Anyhow, he did write me a list but said it is not PG13 rated. I have no idea what these 10 stand for so I am going to take a wild guess what my husband and his men talk about in the office.

Before I tackle this, let’s see what the plan is for next week! This one will be fab, chosen by super fly Kristi:

Awesome right?
