A Laugh to Share

December 8, 2014 By Dana White 8 Comments

There’s no “meat” to this post and I am not sharing a single cleaning-related tidbit. I just spent a few minutes laughing aloud at the comments on this thread over on my Facebook page and thought you might like a good laugh as well in case you missed it!

In a moment of sheer mind-boggling frustration after calling into the living room, “Someone needs to go let Presley in from the backyard!” I wrote this cry for help:

I need help. Serious help. Actually, four out of five of my family need it. Y’know how we all swore as kids that we’d never ever mix up our kids’ names? And then how we all do? Well, our entire family is CONSTANTLY calling my daughter by our puppy’s name and our puppy by my daughter’s name. Seriously, it’s crazy how often it happens. It’s not just the normal amount. It’s like the names have completely switched places in my brain. Does anyone know a psychological trick to help me STOP calling my daughter Scruffy?? I’m afraid I’m going to do some serious damage!! (Halfway kidding, but really wanting ideas to help me stop!)

Seriously, all of your stories are so FUNNY! (And they make me feel better about my own name-replacement-issues!)

 

Go here to read the thread. It should be visible for you even if you aren’t on Facebook since it’s a public page.

Things I Don’t Keep (Anymore): Plastic Restaurant Kid Cups

December 2, 2014 By Dana White 23 Comments

I’m pretty sure I made this decision a while back. The one about how I wasn’t going to keep plastic restaurant cups anymore. Maybe we haven’t had enough practice since we so rarely go to sit-down restaurants these days. When my daughter asked if she should keep her cup after Daddy’s birthday celebration a few […]

December 1, 2014 By Dana White 20 Comments
