  Top : Just For You : Humor : Page 2


  • Playpen Politics - Since joining the ranks of the ?bathrobe executives?, as my husband affectionately refers, I?ve noticed how seldom I socialize. ?So, when I received an invitation to host this week?s Mommy and Me playgroup meeting, I jumped at the chance.
  • Real Life 101 - While agonizing with my son over his junior year elective choices, I found myself reminiscing about the high school lessons I had learned, and which of them actually transferred into ?real? life.
  • Revenge of the Rock-Hating Teen - What's one of the worst disasters to befall a teen? A mother who likes loud rock music. How can the situation be worse? When the teen hates rock music himself. There. Our role-reversal secret is out.
  • Scapegoat Santa - Move over Lee Majors, there?s a new Fall Guy in town and he answers to the name of Claus, Santa Claus. He won?t be taking the plunge from a 40-story skyscraper on a Hollywood stunt set. Instead, he?ll be taking the rap for all the high-tech, high-priced, high-anxiety ?gotta-haves? on my kids? Christmas list--the things I didn?t, wouldn?t, couldn?t get for them.
  • Sign on the Door - From a sign I recently posted to my teenage daughter's bedroom door: Welcome to your room! Please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with these instructions, which, like all of your father's rules, are designed to make your stay in his house comfortable and less inconvenient to his life.
  • Skiing - The beginner skier is taught the "snowplow." It's an absurdly un-athletic position: your toes pointed in, knees splayed, arms waving madly in circles (I added this last bit on my own). As you creep forward in your snowplow, your children dart around you at insane speeds, singing out "Hi, Dad!" while you try to stab them with your ski poles.
  • Snowed In - My children may have given up believing in the Easter Bunny, and they probably have their doubts about Santa Claus, but they still go to bed every night hoping that when they wake up the next morning, they'll find so much snow has fallen from the sky that school has been canceled. Often I'm called in to offer my opinion on this prospect, the only subject about which my teenagers believe I may still offer valid counsel.
  • Spring Cleaning a la Testosterone - Do men just play dumb when it comes to cleaning? Is this an obvious attempt to avoid any sort of housework? I used to think so, but now I think it may have something to do with a testosterone brain block or something.
  • Stupid Pets For Sale (humor) - For Sale: All Cameron pets, including two rabbits - - oops, make that six rabbits. These rabbits consume several pounds of pellets a week in order to produce several pounds of different pellets a week.
  • Summertime: The Mosquitoes are the Least of it - Summer is here, school is out and chaos reigns. It's the same thing every year. The kids are bored two minutes after the final school bell rings. It's as though they contend with each other to see who can be the MOST bored.
  • Thanksgiving, No Holds Barred - Every Thanksgiving, my husband and I beam across the table at each other, thankful for our lovely family, our health and our good fortune, completely unaware of the ?What I am thankful for? comments soon to emerge out of our children?s mouths. After six kids and almost 17 years of parenting, you?d think we would see it coming.
  • The Adventures of Montgomery Moose - Though I am positive the wealth and fame promised me by a recent fortune cookie is no farther away than the next letter from Ed McMahon, I sometimes take on odd jobs to help keep my family income from sliding into a recession. So when a neighbor called to tell me she would pay me to attend her daughter's birthday party, I was enthusiastic: This sounded like my kind of work! Then I grew suspicious.
  • The Proverbial Daughter - My teenage daughter often asks for me to help her with her homework. In this case, "to help" means "to do," as in, "Could you help me finish this report on the causes of the Great Depression?" (All she has written, at this point, are the words "Causes of the Great Depression" across the top of her paper, so it needs a lot of "finishing.")
  • The Survival of the Field Trip Fittest - Summer isn't quite the same anymore. What with the invention of year-round schools (an evil plot devised by slave-driving bosses to keep children out of working parents' hair as much as possible) and day camps on every street corner in those districts without year-round schools, parents have more opportunities than ever to volunteer their services to their child's class.
  • What's In A Name - "What?s in a name? That which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet..." This may be true in the botany kingdom, but when it comes to our children, there are a lot of stinky names to be had. Kellie Head gives us yet another hilarious twist on that job we call parenting.?
