Poets, Mexicany, CPS, and Ice Cream
1. QTMama wrote a poem about me. I dig it.
2. The other day, I said to Besos, “You’re not very…” and then I paused because I meant to say, “stereotypically Mexican” but what actually came out of my mouth was, “Mexicany.”
She sat back and looked at me. “In what way?”
And I said, “Well… I don’t mean it like ..you don’t drive a truck with a refrigerator in the back. I mean it like…” and that is when I realized that what I should have said was, “I don’t know.”
3. Boss has begun a new school year. She said her favorite little boy came into the classroom last week and said, “Whew! It’s hotter than fuck out there!”
*Blink*
Ayup. Other things heard in her classroom: “Girl, you need to stop showing your panties!” and “He said he doesn’t want to be my friend because I act like a girl and that I’m gay.”
Welcome to kindergarten in the Chicago Public School system.
4. I bribed Besos over the other evening by promising to give her ice cream. I had to go to the store to get some because I don’t eat ice cream. I like ice cream; I just never think to eat it. But now I own a pint of mint chip minus one Besos portion. I figure there’s enough in there to get me lucky at least two more times.

“I have more ice cream, little girl” …Those were your exact words.
*rolling eyes*
I guess you now know one more of my weaknesses.

*laugh* Okay, that makes me sounds horrible! That was after you said you were, …er,…exhausted after your visit.

Ice cream has been used to bribe more than one woman on more than one occasion. Hang on to that mint chip…you never know when it might come in handy again….

1) I rock
2) Sometimes it IS better to say nothing at all. Especially, well, ya know, you.
3) That kid sounds like Em’s future hubby.
4) “I figure there’s enough in there to get me lucky at least two more times. Your mind is warped. I secretly dig that.

@MommaSunshine – You better believe it. I’m not going to eat a bite of it. That’s frozen gold.
@MindyMom – I read your question a few times and figured that half of what I do might prompt that question. And how the hell are you after your great vacation?
@CMC – Your love would be well placed in Besos. heh. (And I didn’t mean that in the dirty way you may take it.) By the way…I’m keepin’ my eye on you…Shady McShadyson.
@QTMama – I’m afraid to ask which kid you mean. The one who keeps talking about the girl showing her panties?
@Danielle – Ah, I just snap the peanuts picture with the camera on my phone and then stick it on the blog. And that picture of your daughter playing by the paint made me laugh out loud. Dude, kids are hilarious. And I’m glad you like Besos. Snickers and M&Ms BOTH?

1. Friends that can make us laugh are one of the *best* things in life.
4. I have a feeling that you aren’t the only one getting lucky. Besos must have a big smile on her beautiful face as well.
August 21st, 2009 at 3:43 pm
You are shameless.
August 21st, 2009 at 3:52 pm
@debra – Agreed. I like just about anyone who can make me laugh.
Regarding the second part of your comment…hell, if I got lucky without Besos, I’m sure she wouldn’t be smiling. heh.
@Bobbi Janay – It’s horrible, isn’t it?
