The Top Five Things overheard in Baggage’s household today
1) Meredith just told me to “Shut the Fuck up!” And now Bubba is back there saying, “Shut the Fuck Up! Shut the Fuck up!”
2) NO! WE DO NOT CARRY POOP AROUND!!
3) You are not allowed to call your mother a douche.
4) Why did they call her Hannah Montana? Why not Jane Maine or Chucky Kentucky?
5) If someone is picking on you, you need to tell your teacher. Stabbing them is not the answer.

NUMBER 5!!
While on recess duty the other day I had to discipline a 7 year old who went after an older kid with a baseball bat because he’d “accidentally” bounced a rubber ball against his leg. I swear, he gave me the look of “what do you mean that’s not an acceptable response?!”
Foster kid.

Ok No.5 was my solution to a meeting with my boss tomorrow. Do you have a solution now? LOL No really do you?

I’m sorry but I am laughing my butt off over here. I had a foster kid who said to me one time after getting in trouble for breaking curfew, “That’s not fair! At my house I only get in trouble for things like setting fires in the middle of the road.”
Just take a deep breath and keep on going, you’re doing a great job!

Well hey, carrying poop around is better then flinging it. And yeah, calling mothers names like “a douche” isn’t so nice, regardless.

#2 While visiting the grandparents this weekend, my youngest daughter, who is 2, found an “accident” left behind by my dad’s dog. She innocently brought it to her Gran and said, “What’s this?” My stepmother was horrified and said, “Let’s go play in the soap for awhile!!”
Aaahhh ~ the joys of having inquisitive kids!

I love number one. My kids had some foul mouths when they were angry. My favorite was Mrs. Mother Fucker. They would have tantrums in their room (for hours) and scream that at me, one would start chanting and another child chimes in. With their unique ability to always be off a bit it always turned into a round. I had them call me Mrs. Mother Fucker for about 2 days before they spoke to me. The other kids snickered at them and no one has called me that since. It sure took the snap out of it.

Sounds like a stressful day. The hannah montana comment made me laugh though.

Oh my! Who has been saying the shut the fuck up thing? I doubt it was you! As per the 2 yr old who didn’t recognize poop… boy, my Dao picked up a semidried doggy poop in the park, held it out to me triumphantly and said “CACA!! CACA!!” hehe. He pretends to pick dog poop off the floor every time he finds a plastic bag. So, what is your household’s take on the new Annie Liebovitz photos of said Hannah Montana?! (ps Tudu, brilliant, absolutely brilliant suggestion to cure the bad name calling of mama!)
