Maybe I’m a weird mom
Or maybe I just have weird kids. But they are hilarious at times, without necessarily meaning to be.
Tonight, Angst opened the freezer to find the frozen burritos I’d promised her on my last grocery trip (for some reason, she loves the nasty things). Upon discovering the package had been opened, she yelled crankily, “Who’s been eating my burritos?!” I hollered back, “Your sister!”
Anxiety, who must have been visualizing the older-sister beat-down, instantly yelled, “Mom’s a liar! Don’t believe her!”
And the other day, when discussing the meaning behind our given names, she informed me, “At least your name’s meaning isn’t lame like mine. My name means ‘flowing,’ which is a term I usually associate with menstruation.”
(Yes, she really used that word. She collects words of more than 3 syllables like some kids collect Magic: The Gathering cards — and yet somehow manages not to be geeky!)

Maybe a little of both? (In a good way, mind you!)
So, you got an eHarmony profile?

Sadly, yes. And wouldn’t you know it, the first person who tried to contact me is the lamest of the “matches” the site picked out for me. And they’re all OLD. I don’t want to date someone’s grandpa!!!

I get a lot of fat chicks.

That seemed lighter and more humorous before I saw it posted, lol.

I thought it was amusing. But then, I’m pretty desensitized to the word “fat” — it’s not worth getting your panties in a twist over.

That’s why you remain dear to my heart, my sweet.

Jeez, you two…
For what it’s worth, my name means “handsome”, so I wouldn’t put too much stock in what names mean…

Well, “Lawrence” means “of the laurels”- in other words, a winner.
yay.
I will not saddle a kid with my name, I swear.
