Those Darn Kids!! ( Archived) (10)

Okay, time to vent...I went to open the frig for some milk to put in my coffee and half of what WAS in the side door of my frig just fell all over the floor.
My 16 year old daughter has no clue as to the word moderation, organization, or cleanliness.

We have three jars of relish open, two mustards, two catchups, 6 bottles of pop (there are only two of us), three half bottles of ranch (and 4 other assorted dressings) , two jars of pickles, open cans of fruit cocktail, two jars of hot sauce, a now broken bottle of steak sauce (the rest I am mopping up as we speak)and the frig is jammed full of various left overs and odds and ends. Nothing is ever touched again or finished, the fairies are going to make it disappear I guess!

What annoying habits do your kids have that absolutely drive you up the wall??


Joanne

HA!!! Can I ever relate to that scenario! Just think how dull,pointlee and fruitless our lives would be if it weren't for what falls off the fridge door unto the floor and oozes, flows, spreads ever closer to the far wall,overflowing whatever is in it's paths...will the one responsible for overloading the door racks or removing the rack-shelf bar clean the mess up... the next ice age would come first! Well, what shall we do...up into the tower for 40 lashes!? hang them upside down in the closet for several hours...make them part of the floor...options and decisions oh the trials and tribulations of parenthood...hey, we can do it to them when they have their own kitchens, using galloping senelity as the excuse!!Pay back time! HA!

Hey solitare,

You are quite hillarious ya know. I like that last comment you wrote, how funny- lol. See, you have a great sense of humor, keep it up too. How about joining me in Izzy Dungeon, you could shine a refreshing ray of light there since dungeons started in England, and you seem to have the British traditional savvy. Lol, do you know of any dungeons in the United States? The closest we ever came to that was the witches of Salem, Mass. in the seventeen hundreds. So help a fellow guy out here, be bold and daring in Izzy's dungeon.

Hey Joanne, use that persuavise personality of yours to convience Solitare to join us there lady!

What do you say, Solitaire?

You would be a great addition to the room and you can even use sone of that Monty Python humor of yours ( didn't Marty Feldman play a few Medieval charcaters like that, lol)!


Joanne

My son likes to throw things out his bedroom window,flood the bathroom,spill hings in the fridge,hide trash and dirty dishes under his bed,trash his room,make me repeat myself 20 times the list goes on. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

Joanne I'll gladly goto your house and cook somthing up with all those random food items! It makes me hungry just thinking about it.

But as for the subject matter, it is a child's job to drive his or her parents into the mad house with padded walls! I think I'm doing a good job with my mother; she swears i'm the one giving her grey hairs.

Ahhhh...kids, parents, grey hairs, padded rooms, those are the real roads well traveled by us all at some time..ummm, ingrediants for a song perhaps...?
My 16 yr.old daughter has an open invitation to go and live at the town dump because of her room; I just laugh when she complains that she can't find something or even move around in it!Not my fault!
Dungeons????? as in And Dragons?
Lots of the old Gothic Revival period homes/ manors along the Hudson Valley in NY have what can/ could be classified as "dungeons" since many resemble European style castles.
I've seen a few in Germany; one was from a "Robber Baron", supposedly a very distant cousin. The castle was undergoing renovations for tourists and I had a look in it's "dungeon":Yuck! dark,damp,mouldy and the stench was enough to gag anyone! It was mostly empty but there were old "rack type" tables and cuff chains on the walls and over passageways...only God knows what may have gone on in there, but then again I've seen prisons that were worse and one could hear the screams of the poor souls inside. Some Bordells have them but in those, what you hear is mostly giggling and hilarious laughter which can put a smile on most anyone's face; if your dungeon is similar, then perhaps I shall try...there was an old r&B song back in the 60's called Whip It On Me Baby! by a Jesse somebody...? are your whips made of silk and ribbons???? Who runs it?? Is it a "sting operation" Sounds sooooo decadent; must be fun!
Yes about Marty Feldman: he played Eye-gor in the hilarious film Young Frakenstein.

Cute, that sounds just like my ex-husband, lol



Joanne

Cloudy, I think you just want me to take you home, that's all. Being hungry is as good an excuse as any, I guess! Should have been here last night, I made a pot of chili.

Solitaire, I don;t know what your fascibation is with dungeouns - I just KNEW I should have kept you away from Len, he is a BAD BAD influenece!

We need to go to Izzy's thread for that subject,lol
