Years ago, my husband and I used to leave each other love notes in our Hollow Tree. Now we're happily married, with five kids; this blog is where I share the usually ridiculous, often sarcastic, sometimes aggravating, and occasionally even touching tales of our ventures into parenthood. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

March Photo Challenge 16: Sunglasses

"What are YOU looking at?" she sneered, with all the contempt a baby who doesn't understand the concept of contempt could possibly muster.  "Waiting for me to smile, eh?  Well, you're the one who tried to put these things on my face - I didn't ask you to, and I sure never indicated I'd enjoy it.  It'll be a cold day in hell before I smile for your stupid camera.  Plus, that first sentence you wrote was kind of clunky, and the ones after that aren't shaping up so well, either."  Her insults were hurled like sharp little daggers - daggers made of mean words.  "That metaphor was atrocious," she continued.  "I'm blowing spit bubbles in your general direction."

Obviously Maddie didn't really say any of this.  Babies can say a lot with their facial expressions, though, and I'm pretty sure this is close to what she would've said if she had the words.  She truly does hate those bitty Foster Grants.

  1. "I'm blowing spit bubbles in your general direction" is my new go-to response to people I don't like. I think I'll say it in a Boris and Natasha accent too. Can't wait!

  3. TruckingT, I never thought of the accent - perfect! And it's just cute enough that people will be confused about whether or not to be insulted.

  4. Me too, 3rdParty. I mean, she looks cute in everything, but those sunglasses ARE perfect. Until she starts crying, of course.
