TAN 113 TANtamount to Anarchy (Page 46)

Lisa, Lisa, I thought you would have been more observant and figured this out a long time ago ...

Well, as for the principle ... here's an experiment. Make sure your dogs are with you. Now, only give ONE a treat.

A technicality: we are TAN's resident CO-psychos.

I am the HUMBLE resident psycho.

You are the SELF-CONSCIOUS resident psycho.

Carry on.

What does that make me?????

Ooooh, single-D {{{melon press}}} back ... you're overwhelming me with your melons--YAY!

B2B is Nov. 13, so ... I dunno, maybe as early as late october ...

You've been state-certified with a diagnosis that includes psychosis?

No no state certification    Does that make me an unofficial nut job??
 

What's up TAN?  How's everything going today?

Being a TANner is common-law craziness. The only difference between Cord and me, and the rest of you nutjobs, is a piece of paper.

LOVE IT 

Well, Lisa, actually, if you ask my mom, my (and my sister's) birthday is HER special day.  Apparently a kid's birthday is not about the kid, it's about the mom (which I thought is what Mother's Day was for, but hey, who am I to say).  She even wears little plastic dollar-store tiaras and everything.  

Yes, I know.  You don't have to say anything. 

G'night kids. It's almost 3:30am. I should sleep. Specially since I didn't sleep last night.

And I have a long bike ride in the morning.

And then I have to drive all the way to my OTHER house 'cause it's where the stuff is I need to pack. Durrr.

And then I need to pack for my trip to my parents' in Jakarta (I hope it's not too nightmarish. I predict World War 2.5).

Crap, I need to get my BFF a birthday present. She's a total alcoholic. Would booze be acceptable?

Then I need to work in the afternoon. Then I need to pick up Widi on the way to my BFF's house.

From my BFF's house, I get on the midnight flight to Jakarta. It's going to be a long, interesting day and then a really, really, really whacked weekend. One way or another ... an adventure.

Agreed.  I never got gifts on my sister's bday.  I actually loved picking out stuff for her and being in on the surprises.  I don't remember ever thinking I needed a gift on her birthday.  Because if that's the case, I better start registering, she's getting married in November and I wouldn't mind new dishes!!!

Ummm, well, it's more like a little kids' thing. But you are pretty young--I dunno, ask your sister and try, anyway!

Kettle, allow me to introduce you to Pot. Pot, meet Kettle...

i'm trying to figure out how that saying applies here.  at least go to the (ridiculous) you don't have kids so you couldn't possibly understand.

yeah... uuhhh. what?
From my friend Wikopedia: The phrase "The pot calling the kettle black" is an idiom used to accuse a person or thing of being marked with or guilty of the very thing they are pointing out.

And as for the dog analagy... good one, except I'd expect human beings (even little ones) to have more control of their emottions than a puppy dog. Or at least use this as an opportunity to teach them how...

I'm pretty sure it was the "You guys are strange" comment, no? 

Oh, I get it. He was calling me strange.
Fair enough.

I believe the implication is that lisa is as strange as she is pointing out others are.

Exactly. Blue light special on 5 hour energy in aisle 4 for those of you who don't follow along.

I got that a lot as a single, school psychologist.
I wish I could find every one who told me that and say, "I am a parent of two now, and everything I said is still true!"
