"I meant what I said."

Both my sons played baseball for 10 years and for some reason they all thought I was "the keeper of the cup" and I'm not talking about the cup you drink from. Why in the name of God would anyone think that was an object I wanted to keep track of?

Am I the only person whose kid has used their cellphone to call the house FROM THEIR BEDROOM to ask me to bring them a soda? (she knew I was in the kitchen and would answer the kitchen phone)

I feel like my life is a Zits cartoon.

PS - Skiers-mom - I laughed out loud when I read your post #366

to the people who say "prestige" argggghhhhhh

that word is so over used it is meaningless, if you want to go to a school for bragging rights, say that, using the word prestige to somehow come across as not interested in impressing doesn't work

sure if you get into a school that rejects 90percent of its applicants, woohoo, but to do it to impress others, eh, if that is what you need to do to impress, seems pretty sad

and to the people that put down community colleges, just stop it already

You are a great big giganto doo doo head. Sorry can't be more specific. But that's the way I feel.

Dear NYU Housing,

I can't believe a school that costs so much cares so little about its students. I hate how every one of your representatives emphasizes that a change in housing isn't guaranteed, like I am some worthless loser begging you to do me a favor. FOR GOD'S SAKE, MY REQUEST IS SO SIMPLE! It's sooooo simple that I cannot fathom the circumstances under which you COULDN'T accomodate it. Also, it would have be really nice to discuss my situation in a PRIVATE office with an adult who ISN'T 20 and is paid 10/hour... just a suggestion. I have gone to public schools all my life and got more support at each one of them than I am getting from you, fancy private school.

No love,
Me

To my best friend's fourth-grade teacher:

Thanks for telling him that he wasn't a good writer. That really gave his self-confidence the boost it needed. The worst part about it was that he believed it for oh, a good nine years until I told him otherwise.

To ex-boyfriend:

You should have gone to Mudd or Caltech instead of Harvard, and you knew it, too. Mudd and Caltech were the nerd heavens that you needed to be crazy and do amazing things. But no. They weren't prestigious enough for you, you schmuck.

To random parents who have nothing better to do than mind my business:

Please don't give me that look when I say I'm enjoying my school. Just because you think that it's not a good school doesn't mean I can't enjoy it. And there's a reason I don't ask you where your children are at school, but rather just if they're enjoying it and if they are up to interesting. Get a clue.

To the pre-op scheduler at my orthopedist's office: Is there some reason you failed to ask for THREE distinct sets of tests that would be required for my surgery tomorrow?

It's certainly not because I failed to provide you with the relevant health information -- it's right there on my chart. I've told you in person. I've told you on the phone when I called with questions. I know this drill. I've done it both professionally and as a patient.

Is there some reason the *hospital* had to be the one to call me THREE separate times today asking if I had gotten X, Y and Z tests done? Didn't want to take responsibilty for your massive bleep-up, eh? The pre-op nurse at the hospital was even more aggravated at your incompetence than I was. Says this sort of thing happens with you guys all the time.

Thanks. The hospital canceled my surgery -- I waited two months for this procedure so we could get the sun, moon and stars aligned -- get the doctor in town, get all my regular responsibilities covered while I'd be incapacitated, get my DH when he's not out of town on business, and before the kids got back into school. It would be nice to not have three surgeries this fall while DS1 is applying to colleges and DS2 has football 20+ hours a week. Guess THAT fantasy just flew out the window.

P.S. Boy, that feels better. Maybe I'll send this to the doc's office!

Dear Sons of Mine:
If the car door is locked and Dad asked you to bring in the groceries, ASK FOR THE KEY. Ice cream melts whether the door is locked or not.
Love, Mom

Our car was broken into last night!!!!

To you morons who did it...you took a 3 year old razor phone that couldn't hold a charge, you biscuit brain. You left a $400 seiko wristwatch. What a complete moron you are. You took my neighbor's Fastpass. What do you expect to do with that??? You are a complete imbecile.

PS You can't even steal right. You are such a loser.

Lafalum84 · 08-16-2007, 09:21 PM

Are they related to the people who broke into my car about 15 years ago and took a box full of CHILDREN's cassette tapes? I hope they enjoyed Raffi and Peter Paul & Mary. My kids were heartbroken, we never found replacements for some of their favorite tapes (pre-Amazon.com days).

sueinphilly · 08-17-2007, 06:47 AM

To all the gum chewers and whistlers out there. SHUT UP.

I don't want to hear you, EVER.

If you can't chew gum without me hearing it, stop chewing. Whistling is noise pollution.

Do these people realize that these sounds can be heard over long distances?

Am I the only one who feels this way?

mom1957 · 08-18-2007, 05:18 AM

Thank you for teaching me that children can take love and affection for granted from their parents- but the reverse is not necessarily true! (Though this hurts).

PS: Lafalum - your description put a BIG smile on my face. Thanks

tetrisfan · 08-18-2007, 07:48 AM

I don't care that you got the best delegate award ahead of me. I don't care that you beat me by a mark in the test. I don't think you're hot, and neither does the guy you flirt with 24x7. I don't think you look good in a skirt. I don't like your perfume. I don't think you're funny. I think you're too bossy for you own good. And unlike you, I don't believe in getting my marks by cheating - I like to earn them myself, and I revel in the fact that my marks reflect my efforts. Basically, I detest you, ughh.

Damn did that feel good!

Pabloid88 · 08-19-2007, 02:37 AM

to a pretentious fiend:

You aren't that great because you have a higher SAT score than me. Seriously, you couldn't even pass trigonometry.
