Parent’s Night Out
Bug: So did you have fun?
Me: Yes.
Bug: Did you get your drink on?
Me: What?! Bug!
Bug: But that is what people do when they go to a club.
Me: We didn’t go to a club. We went to Applebees. And then we went home.
Bug: But did you get your drink on?
Me: Quit saying that.
Bug: I’m just asking!
Me: Bug. I have six kids. I got my nap on.

I can totally relate. Whenever I have had even a glass of wine my kid is convinced I am drunk…LOL. Preteens are so fun aren’t they!!

You did get your drink on. I can tell.

Too funny. Slugger gets really worried/upset at even the thought of me drinking. I had an ancient bottle of wine in the fridge that I had to get rid of because it distressed him. He got really mad at me when I had champagne at my niece’s wedding, too. (Leftover fears from his time with his birth parents, I think.)

LOL… Bug is too wise for her own good!
Once Little Bear (who is 4!!!) asked me if I’d get her a Bug Juice when we stopped for gas. When I told her yes, she said, “Good, because I gotta get my drink on!”
Where do they GET this stuff???????

You didn’t get your nap on in Applebees I hope! ;D Heck, if I had six kids, I think I’d get my drink on… ie 1 or 2 glasses of wine and I’d be on… the floor! ;D BTW I had never heard that term before. Must be american.

Bug is funny
Yes I would say time away from the home would be a break

so funny that there is a local college here that has a “get your camp on” advertising campaign going on right now.
I think it’s become such a common phrase that I’m not surprised a lot of kids know it. But I’m with you . . . I’d rather “get my nap on” ANY day.
you didn’t post all weekend. I was starting to get worried! (try to hear that more in a “nosy jewish mother” tone and less of a “cyberstalker” tone. I promise it’s the former!)
