Kids Who Don't Know Adult Stuff Are Hilarious!

Ben and I were at my nephew's 10th birthday party tonight along with many of my sister-in-law's sisters and their kids, who are all about Brad's age. Later in the evening, my sister-in-law turns on "Desperate Housewives." No big deal, right? WRONG. And of course, wrongness led to hilarity.

I turn around in time to see Nathan Fillion walk into an exam room with Terri Hatcher. Turns out, he's her new neighbor who is also now her new "princess doctor" (as Morgan calls them). He tells her to put her feet up into the stirrups.

Oh yeah, here's the important part. My nephew's 8 or 9 year-old cousin, Emily, is in the living room while this scene is playing on the television.

"What's wrong with her feet?" asks the innocent little one.

Yup, sweet little 8/9 year-old thinks that there is something wrong with the woman's feet. This girl knows not the loveliness that is the "princess doctor."

I swear, all of us women in the room laughed a good five minutes on that line. We couldn't stop laughing long enough to explain why there was nothing wrong with her feet. God, I hope her mother explains it to her later.

William Sledd

My new co-worker, who is from Paducah, KY, knows William Sledd. I just think that's really cool. She says that he has picked out about half of her wardrobe.

That's all. No, really, that's all I wanted to say tonight.

Reba and Justin

OK, for those of you who know me really well, you know that I am not a huge Justin Timberlake fan. I'm not opposed to him, just not a major fan. Well, now I will be purchasing an album for a song written by Justin for my ALL TIME favorite singer ever, Reba McEntire.

The YouTube Video from their Oprah appearance.

The song is beautiful. As I was listening to it, I thought, "This sounds like a good mother to child song." Which then got me thinking about my mother-in-law and Ben, and I cried. It is a GREAT mother to child song. And I know that Millie is up there watching over us and she would so love this song. She may not have been a Reba fan, but she would love the lyrics.

So, I will probably be making a stop at Best Buy or Target for Reba's 31 st album, "Duets."

All About Me (and my Hubby)

I snagged this from Jessi who snagged this from Pink Lucy.

1. Who is your man? Benjamin Michael

2. How long have you been together? July 2001

3. How long did you date? 9 months until we got engaged, 18 month engagement

4. How old is your man? 33 y/o

5. Who eats more? He does

6. Who said “I love you” first? He did, I was afraid to say it because I thought it might scare him away.

7. Who is taller? He is, by about 6 inches

8. Who sings better? We're both pretty good, but I like to sing more than he does.

9. Who is smarter? Hmmm... I don't really know. I'd like to say that we're pretty well matched IQ-wise, but in different intelligence areas.

10. Whose temper is worse? His is pretty bad when he's hungry or if he's playing a game.... I have a VERY long fuse, but when its gone, you better watch out. My brother really knows how to cut that fuse way short. He's probably the person who has seen my worst the most.

11. Who does the laundry? We both do. One of us usually starts it, then we help fold and transfer.

12. Who takes out the garbage? He does.

13. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? While laying on the bed, Ben sleeps to the right.

14. Who pays the bills? He pays his bills and our bills. I pay my bills.

15. Who is better with the computer? Duh, he's the computer networking guy. You figure it out.

16. Who mows the lawn? He does. But I do the weeding/gardening.

17. Who cooks dinner? I do, when we're not eating out or at Chez Jessi.

18. Who drives when you are together? He does, but that's mostly because he hates riding in my Honda Civic.

19. Who pays when you go out? Ben usually takes care of the bill, but sometimes I do.

20. Who is most stubborn? We can both be kinda stubborn, although I can be more so sometimes.

21. Who is the first to admit when they are wrong? See previous answer.... because I'm slightly more stubborn, it's hard for me to do it, but I'm often the one admitting that I'm wrong. I'm trying to get better at not being wrong in the first place, though.

22. Whose parents do you see the most? Well, that would have to be mine since they live 1 mile down the road and both work with him. My father-in-law is only 25-30 miles away, and we just went and had breakfast with him this morning.

23. Who kissed who first? Hmmmmm..... I think we kissed each other on the first date.

24. Who asked who out? I asked him out. Then he asked Justin for "permission" to date me. If you don't already know the story, post a comment....

25. Who proposed? I did... then he did. I wanted my late grandparents to be a part of our love story, so I proposed while we were back East for them to meet him. Then 6 months later, he proposed to me on Christmas Eve.

26. Who is more sensitive? I definitely cry more than Ben. But I think Ben's more in tune with relationship stuff than most men, so he can be sensitive, but in a good way.

27. Who has more friends? I think I do, but it's kind of a moot point, we both get along with each other's friends really well.

28. Who has more siblings? Ben does. Four brothers and three sisters. I only have two sisters and one brother.

29. Who wears the pants in the family? Most of the time, he does. We are pretty well in agreement on most things anyway, though.

30. Come up with a question for us to answer............

Imagine This

The other day, I was driving home down the East-bound express lane. I checked my rear view mirror (huh-huh, rear view, which will be much funnier to you at the end of this post...) and I saw more motorcycles barreling down on me and my little Honda than I have ever seen before in my entire life. As they fly past my little car, Morganarama (my passenger) goes "Ooh, their jackets are sparkly!"

Then, we notice a bike with a passenger leaning forward, holding tight to her honey... and her a$$ crack is hanging out the top of her low ride jeans. That isn't even the funniest part of this story! About 20 or 30 bikes later (that might be a bit of an exaggeration, but you catch my drift), we see two or three more chicas with a$$ crack hanging out, but their crack is punctuated with thongs. One of them was a red sparkly thong.

Huh-huh Rear view. Told you it would be funnier now.

In Memoriam

Painfully, I'm having to announce that my mother-in-law, Millie, passed away on Friday, September 7. Her death was not particularly expected, so was doubly difficult. She was 71 years old. She will be terribly missed by her husband, 8 children, 6 children-in-law, and 20+ grandchildren.

Millie was a phenomenal mother-in-law, I couldn't have asked for anyone better. She never was judgmental of me or my marriage to her baby. She was fun, funny and very smart. It's really hard to believe that she's really gone. Whenever we walk into my father-in-law's house now, we go into the kitchen and she's not sitting in "her chair."

It just makes me very sad that my children will never know her. She was so looking forward to meeting her baby's babies. She'll just be looking down from above and watch over them for us when we can't be around.

Millie, I know that you know that you were (and still are) loved very much. We miss you already.
