Dudes!
(And dudettes. This is an equal opportunity blog after all.)\
I'm soooo excited. Every year at this time, Neil from Citizen of the Month has an internet "Christmahanukwanzaakah" concert. Bloggers sign up to sing, play, or hum a holiday ditty and post it on the internet for Neil to link to.IT IS ALL KINDS OF AWESOME and sooooo much fun to listen to. It's my first year participating and I think you should, too! GET THEE TO NEIL'S BLOG AND PUT YOUR SELECTION AND JOHN HANCOCK IN THE COMMENTS SECTION!
(And seriously? There are ALL levels of talent so none of that crap about how you aren't musical. I'm still waiting for someone to play the spoons, because THAT? Would rock.)

*Overheard conversation between my 11-year-old, James and a friend
“It’s pretty cool having two sets of parents.”
“Really?”
“Yah, I mean not only do I have more grandparents, but I also get more presents. AND, if my mom says “No”, then I go to my dad. If my dad says, “No”, then I go to my other mom and dad. Chances are pretty high that one of them will cave and say , “Yes”.”
“They’ll say yes to anything?”
“Well…I’m not sure how they’d feel about explosives, but you never know.”
Occidental Girl says:
I’m a divorced (and remarried) mom. Who needs counseling when you can have easier access to explosives?!? Woo hoo!
Cute!

Hilarious! I think as long as you draw the line at explosives, then you’re doing your job.

Yeah, I think you better make your position on explosives clear right from the beginning - and LOOK OUT!!! When they learn to work the system you are pretty much screwed.

Erin Evans Taylor says:
Speaking as a child torn in two from a broken marriage… (dramatic enough?) We have to have SOMETHING to be glad about! I was glad my dad wasn’t “mean” and didn’t discipline me like my friend’s dads did. I definitely played that card before! My Dad would always cave because he didn’t live with us. Of course, we’d make my mom feel horribly guilty and she’d get us what we wanted, usually.
I wish I had two husbands now, so if one said “No, you can’t get a dishwasher”, I’d just go ask the other one!

Aw, they’re raising a sociopath! So cute! Nah… but it is cute. Just tell James not to get any ideas.
The whole conversation reminds me of Maeybe on Arrested Development who, at alternate times, was trying to both keep her parents together (so she’s only have to spend time with both) and break then apart (so they’d focus on finding somebody else and not her).

Why don’t I have children yet? I just don’t have any idea.
“Little Over-Thinker! Eat all your vegetables or you won’t be able to play with your EXPLOSIVES today! Good girl!”

Jamie says:
I used to play my dad and mom against each other a LOT (they got divorced when I was 7.)
No explosives were ever mentioned, though.
