It’s the rare blog post that I regret for its honesty, but I do find that I often feel compelled to provide an immediate update when the last entry is Uncharacteristically Bleak. And so: my morning sucked, and then the day improved immensely, thanks in no small part to your comments. JB took me out to lunch, the boys joyfully greeted me at home with their usual blathering chaos, and the badness was swept under the rug where it has no doubt taken up residence with all the other unpleasant experiences that you hope you don’t re-visit on your deathbed.

I never know how to say thank you in a way that conveys how much I mean it, but I’d hate to not say it at all, so just this, then: thank you.

In a return to humor in our household, JB showed me a text message he’d received today by accident. Now, most of us would probably either ignore a wrong-number text message, or perhaps provide a polite “Sorry, you have the wrong person” response, but not JB. Oh no. Behold his creative response (his messages are in green):

Sadly for us all, the no-doubt confused and unhappy Friend of Ruth never wrote back.

Lastly, I’ve been walking by this toy for the last several days and every single time I see it I think LABIA. I’m not saying this is what my own personal labia resembles, but am I just a dirty-minded Liberator-owning smutbag here or is this thing totally pornographic?

PS: It is a pirate hat. Supposedly.

Im glad your day got better! It must be the week because everybody i know is having a crappy Tuesday. (oh… wait… its Monday for you. meh, ill go with the crappy week thing)

I love the comments on the phone. The poor girl was probably so confused, and i can imagine the converstaion she will have later with the friend who gave her the number.

And yeah… I agree with you. The “pirate hat” doesn’t look so innocent.

Thank you for the laugh after an exceptionally tough day. So unfortunate that Ruth didn’t supply the requested picture.

That so called hat is totally labiaesque. This is coming from a mom who just spent three hours in a ‘birds and bees’ class talking about labias, vulva’s and of course scrotums as well.

I wouldn’t have even seen a pirate hat if you hadn’t said anything. That is jacked up.

Labia? Or LAIR?

MUAH HA HA HA HAHA!

I’m so glad your day turned out better.

OMG, JB’s comments for that wrong number were hilarious! You know what he should have done when she said “I thought you cut hair” he should have said, “Yes pubic hair” OMG that would be so gross.

As far as that “pirate hat” goes, it looks like a hoo-hoo to me too!

That’s a good one. I hope your kids inherit your and JB’s naughty of sense of humour.

I tried making mini bowling pins for my son with Play-Doh recently and all I managed to make was something that strongly resembled a penis. Was planning to take some pictures of it, you know, to add to my collection of toddler memorabilia, but the babysitter destroyed it. I watched her face closely as she picked it up but she didn’t register humour nor disgust. Hehehh.

I just read your previous post after seeing this one–I am so sorry you had such a shitty morning. I cringe to think of the times that I have lost my temper with my son for no good reason whatsoever, and the way his face crumples at those times. . . well, you know. But at this age, at least, it’s easy to make it all better with “sorry” and a hug & kiss.

The text message conversation is HILARIOUS, by the way. And that is no pirate hat that I ever want to see, thank you.

Sorry about your Monday AM. I’ve done that too, and I always hate myself for it. The other day I was cleaning my room and I found a note that my daughter had slipped under my door while I was crying about something one time, undoubtedly after yelling at her to shut up or something because the note said, “Mom, I’m sorry I talked. I love you. T.” I felt like shit when I re-read it and I don’t even remember what it was about.

LOVE JB’s messages to Friend o’ Ruth. I hope they get a kick out of it when Ruth and Friend realize Friend texted to the wrong number. But iChat? On a PHONE? It’s ALMOST enough to make me switch to AT and T. But not quite.

And? Vagina Pirates? LMAO. That is hysterical.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!

this has to be one of my fave posts ever! the humor of you + JB combined is beyond hilarious!

I do agree that “hat” is labia. I can’t even see how it’s a hat.

if there is a ‘found porn’ pool on flickr, you gotta submit!

JB’s text is hilarious. That “pirate” hat does look suspicious. I actually thought it looked like edamame at first.

“dirty-minded Liberator-owning smutbag”

I guffawed at that. Thanks. I needed a good laugh. But yes, that thing doesn’t look like an innocent children’s toy at all. When I saw the photo myself, I at first thought it was a pair of bronzed lips… not labia, just lips…but well, labia it might as well be.

Hmmm. That thing does NOT say “pirate hat” to me.

Meagan

You know how when someone shows you a picture that is obviously two faces, and they try to claim it’s a vase, and then suddenly all you can see is a vase even though you know it’s two faces? I sort of feel like that right now, only I’m pretty sure that thing was never a pirate hat, no matter what the toy seller claimed.

Anyway, I hope someone texts ME from a wrong number soon. What fun.

Oh hilarious. Both the text messages and the “pirate hat.” Funny my dad had a mistaken recipient in a text message conversation yesterday also, regarding my brother’s emergency splenectomy (i.e. take out ruptured spleen – yet another organ we can live without!). That poor recipient was probably thoroughly alarmed till he figured out it was the wrong number!

JB rules. Some may have *thought* of that awesome reply, but how many would actually have sent it. Only those with the mad fence-jumping ninja skilz….

Way too funny on the text. I wonder if it all ever made its way back to Ruth, whoever she is.

It surely doesn’t look like a pirate hat to me. My aunt has a dresser with these fancy handles that look for all the world like hairy balls. True story.

Glad life went back Up for you yesterday. =)

Awesome. Love the texts. And the hat…definitely not so innocent. Somewhere someone in the design is laughing his ass off that it got approved.

I can’t even picture how it is a pirate hat…really? Some creative young toy maker is laughing his ass off at whoever bought that as a pirate hat!
