"Oh?" She remarked.
"So I thought a Manhattan would hit the spot tonight."
She pulled the Lego Club magazine out of his hand and whacked his head.
"WHAT?! Think of the benefits by the time I'm fifteen! DANG!"
SO FINALLY, I get a chance to write out a 55 again. This one is inspired by my fourteen year old son making a statement about the health benefits of consuming up to four alcoholic beverages a week.
Glad to be back. Thanks to The G-Man for being so vociferous (thank you, Juana en Tejas) about my job getting in the way of 55 offerings.
XOXO, m'dear!
I'll stoop to endless depths to return the Lost to the Flock. (I don't mean that in a cultish way either)
ReplyDeleteReal Life is always the best inspiration.
It's GREAT to have you back Brandini.
Loved your delinquent son 55
Thanks for playing, and have a Kick Ass Week-End
G..:P
CANASTA!!!!!....Bitches!
ReplyDeleteYou've got to love teens! And I'm glad mine is no longer a teen. :-)
ReplyDeleteAh, She of the shriveled, little, black heart has heard our pleas. She also seems to be taking very good care of her little cub. I hope the bunny garnering has been going well. It sounds so lovely. You've made me want to learn about plants. You've made my bunnies make me want to learn more about plants. Oh, Black Hearted One, I thank you.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, based on your banner the Marines need a few good Brandis to write them some good recruitment material.
ReplyDeletehahaha he didn't really think he would get away with that did he? ;-)
ReplyDeletelol! Loved this, Brandi! (I can remember similar facts being stated when mine were in their teens!)
ReplyDeleteHahaha - great ending that caught me by surprise. Welcome back!
ReplyDeleteVery funny. Those little buggers will try anything.
ReplyDeleteAh the joys of Parenting!I think I'll stick to Speedy he's less of a headache even at his naughtest which isn't very much I might add Auntie Jane,Unlike my sister who is always a headache she's older than me a still acts like a terrible teen which is why she doesn't speak to me oh well give me Speedy and his Auntie's any day!Cheers to Auntie Brandi and Auntie Jane!
ReplyDeleteAunties Forever! Alot of us have had to trade in family members for kindlier creatures. Our world has so much healing to do, and we can not always be a part of the lives of our biological family, but you are still a part of an enormous circle of love. Be of good cheer and give Speedy the hug I can't give him. AJ
ReplyDeleteHugs given to Speedy as Always!Thank you Jane,I learn to take or leave my sister a long time ago she knows how to contact me if she needs or wants me,its just sad sometimes as I'm not aloud to speak to my niece any more,but thats my sister a silly squabble is a big drama and blown out of proportion into a supernova and then she holds a grudge and its all your fault,its just sometimes something reminds me of how sad it is for my niece.That saying "You can't pick your family but you can pick you friends" is so true.Don't worry sadness gone and now I'm of good cheer,xx Rachel
DeleteHappy mothers Day to you all!xx Speedy and Rachel
ReplyDeleteAnd to you, too, Rachel!!!
Deleteeach time i used to read smaller content that also clear
ReplyDeletetheir motive, and that is also happening with this paragraph which I am
reading now.
Have a look at my weblog ... body mass index chart
Brandi, I got to tell this story at the knit shop the other day. It has a big hit. Everyone was talking about rascally sons so I was very glad to have some material. There were tears of laughter. Hope you had a great Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteHi, Brandi, the weather you all are having is really worrisome. Let us know how you are.
ReplyDeleteOklahoma City is usually not in danger of tornados. For some reason, they always pass to the south and to the north of us. Always. My son insists it because of very slight temperature variations, which is why they tend to follow along highways as well and big cities hardly ever get hit at all.
ReplyDeleteShawnee got hit bad. They are about 45 minutes east of us on I40.
My brother in law was at his mothers house in Shawnee and took a picture with his phone of the tornado that wiped out a trailer park.
We are ok here. Like I said, our tornados follow a very predictable pattern. Piedmont to Deer Creek to Edmond.
Ok, I was side by side news 4 weather chasers on the interstate as they were reporting live on the lowering of a BIG baby tornado. I take back what I said about predictable patterns!!!! Cuz I was almost home, hyperventilating, trying not to panic...and now I have to pee real bad.
DeleteWe are so sorry, Brandi.
ReplyDeleteMy niece went to one of the schools, Briarwood, and thank you JESUS, we just found out this morning she is fine. The world feels upside down. I feel so thankful to God for what I have in this world. Some people lost EVERYTHING yesterday, and their property, too.
DeleteI for one am happy that you and yours are well and in one piece,xx Speedy and Rachel
DeleteBrandiWine....
ReplyDeleteThanks for hanging around this week
I really missed you.... G
Awww! Thanks G! I am only working once a week at Walgreens now, just to keep my employee discount, of course. Since I am pretty much oncall 24/7 now for the job I enjoy doing (subcontracting as a collector for urine drug screens and breath alcohol tests), I have a LOT more freedom to be at home and mind my bloggin'! Make sure you keep us updated on your new homie.
DeleteBrandi, I approved of your characterization of creation. I am not a bunny, but I did approve. Of course there is still the all important, theologically troubling question of cats. How does one explain cats? By the way, I stumbled across a lecture by Michael Himes. It is called something like Last Lectures. He taught at Boston College. I thought you might be interested? Peace, AJ
ReplyDeletePlease, be okay Brandi. I didn't realize the weather was still such a danger yesterday.
