• On Friday morning, as I was in the bathroom brushing my teeth, my daughter came up behind me and startled me so badly I jammed my toothbrush down my throat and gacked all my coffee up into the sink while she wailed, “what’s wrong, mama? WHAT’S WRONG??”
It was an invigorating start to the day.
• On Friday evening, my daughter dumped a plate of greasy taco meat onto an upholstered beige bar stool. A stool I do not own. In a house I do not own.
Good times, people. Good times.
• Most Ridiculous Thing I’ve Said This Week: “People! Stop lithering!”
*sigh*
You see, my daughter’s favorite Lego character is an alien called Squidman. Apparently, that’s the (annoying) noise he makes. ….lither-lither-lither-lither-lither…
You have to say it real fast to get the full effect. If you stick your tongue out in weird squid-like way it adds to the experience.
You’re doing it right now, aren’t you?

Haha! You need a Lego room in your next house. Did you get the taco meat out? Curious minds.

Girl, you got that right. I don’t care if the kids have to share a room, the Legos will be somewhere far away from me, in a room with a door.
And yes, I got the majority of the taco grease out. I think the stools are upholstered in microfiber, which is a miracle fabric. I used some laundry soap and a little fingernail brush, and then rinsed it out by pouring copious amounts of water on it (I sucked the water back out with 43 bath towels).

Of course I did. I wouldn’t let an opportunity like that pass me by.

“Stop lithering” has never come up but I’m pretty sure I’ve said equally strange but necessary things to my kids in the past week.
Thanks for hosting!

Lither sounds really cool when said as you describe. I think it may enter our family lexicon, since 4 out of 5 of us are doing it right this moment (I can’t type and lither at the same time, apparently).
I don’t have any specific idiocies to link up, but a sampling of ridiculousness from the last month: an argument over the last piece of 3! apple pies that led to a cracked rib in SOMEONE who should have known better;
Poison ivy caught inexplicably only on the legs by someone wearing long pants, wellies, and knee socks;
Catching myself telling a child he had to finish his pumpkin pie before he could have a cupcake.
