Mary Anne + 2 Many Babies Part 1!

[road_baby]

I'm having a major productive rush so I've been writing up my next snark. And lemme tell ya, it's not an easy one. There's so much stupidity. But at least it's semi entertaining. Well, the stupid class stuff is. The actual baby bits make me barf and lose track of what I'm doing. So are you ready for it? Ready to dive in to some of the stupidest

The easiest way to get out of this egg thing: take the egg to a local hospital/fire station/police station - state that 'I have to pretend that this egg is a baby, but I am unable to care for a baby as I am still a child myself and I want them to have a better life than I can provide for them' and then leave the egg there. It's perfectly legal and sensible. Well, check your local laws first, but STILL.

Speaking of leaving things - did MA forget about the hedge clippers in the bread drawer? I cringe to think of where Sharon might accidentally leave a baby.

Clearly, none of the BSC have ever been around a miserable infant who is teething.

My brother's class had to do the egg project and weren't allowed to give the egg up for adoption.

"I cringe to think of where Sharon might accidentally leave a baby."

That explains SO much about Dawn, haha.

Someone once gave her a pot brownie and that's why she hates anything with more than grain of sugar in it.

Hell, I think having a dog is a lot of work and a baby? Psshhh! I think that they think their few hours with a kid that's behaving makes them think that's how all kids are. And I know there's been times when they had trouble and somehow they can't figure out that child raising is hard. Like, seriously, if you want something cute that you can dress up buy a doll. Because that's what they seem to think a baby is.

And yeah, they're not going to be eating month old, unrefrigerated eggs so who cares about toxicity? He actually thinks that they can poison their egg and have it die. And that's only the beginning of the stupidity this book features.

And it just gets worse and worse, mon frere.

"Things Ann knows nothing about" alert: Connecticut is one of the top states for education and has been for some time, there's no WAY that SMS would be so horrendous irl haha.

"'Yeah! Me and dirty Dingus Magee are totally doing couple things! We're registered at Target and everything!' " I'm just putting this out there for anyone else in this community who's from the tri-state area... they would totally register at Crate & Barrel. =P

[road_baby]

I'm surprised the Connecticut school board doesn't sue her for libel.

I had to look up Crate & Barrel and they're all in rich neighbourhoods so no wonder I've never seen one. I always thought they were a food place.

Tampa somehow ended up with one which is super helpful when I have to buy wedding presents for my rich family in Westchester County, NY =P

Ah, divorce, I love how its so strange. Its really funny to me since I've been exploring my family true I've found a lot of divorced people in my family. My great-grandparents were each their second marriage, even a great-great grandmother who divorced her first husband went off remarried.

This book reminds me of the idiot girls at my high school were always talking about great babies are and how great it would be to a mom at sixteen because babies are so cute and thought I was the weirdo for constantly pointing out how much work babies are. They thought I was a baby hater. I do love babies but they are hard work. Feeds, diapers, crying all night long and still having to go to work, the expense, and taking care of someone for at least the next eighteen years.

My parents were each other's second marriage and that was in 1968! My half brothers have one half sister from our father (me) and two half sisters from his mother's second marriage. So Ann needs to try harder if she's going to boggle my mind, lol.

We had to diaper balloons in Home Ec on a Monday afternoon. If they survived the diapering, you won the honor of carrying it to and from classes all week. And if it "lived" until Friday's class, you got an A. Mine did survived, then was killed tragically when I dropped in getting off the bus that afternoon and the bus ran over it. That might have been the first time I realized motherhood was not for me, lol

[road_baby]

That made me laugh far too much.

[maryannespen]

For the record, that's exactly how I reacted to my balloon "baby" being killed in front of my eyes. XD
