I gave Benjamin a sip of my pepsi today at lunch! He really likes to drink out of our glasses so he was whining away and I slightly wanted to see his reaction to the fizziness. He made such a disgusted face and spit it out. I would have been screwed if he liked it!!! lol Not that I would have given him more if he did like it though.

@mommymaddness - I did the same thing with E the other day with a beer. She kept begging for it and I kept telling her she wouldn't like it. So I let her take a tiny sip. And instead of some sort of bitter beer face, she wanted more!!! I'm so screwed.

@sunflowersummer - I actually figure better as dessert than as breakfast.

My friend's kid was like this around our kids' age. If they had beer, they couldn't drink it from a cup because she'd find it and stick her whole arm in so that she could then lick it off. She'd try to tip over beer bottles so that she could get licks of it from the puddles. When they had parties, things would get interesting trying to keep her out of people's drinks. I think they ended up banning beer in their house after a while until she was older and understood that it was a grown-ups only drink.

I think the ghost in the pumpkin on Doc McStiffins looks like a penis wearing a condom.

I need to get laid.

Yeah you do. Doc McSTIFFins. Freudian slip.

BTW, your comment made me pee a little. Thanks.

Bahahaha!!!! I didn't even notice the typo! Awesome.

@eafogel - That would really really suck. FX that E doesn't turn out that much of a natural addict.

He's not a fan of the language I guess. I said something once in French when we first met and he was like "...no." I just never asked why and I never brought it up again.
And I've never been drunk in front of him because I promised myself after a terrifying experience when I was 23 that I would never lose control again. We met when i was 24. I drink. I get buzzed. I don't get drunk.

The drinking thing I get, and totally respect. The language thing is still super odd to me. He's not a FAN of the language, so you're hiding from him that you're fluent?? It sounds like you're a couple of horny kids in a bar and you're trying to be sure you don't say anything that might hurt your chances of a hook up! Being fluent in another language is a pretty big deal, at least IMO. If my husband just told me today that he could speak another language (or TWO... isn't that what you said?! I'll have to go back to your OP.) I would flip the eff out on him. That's a huge thing for a spouse to be totally unaware of!

ETA: Sorry if that sounded mean... I don't mean to be mean. I just really don't understand this.

mrs.sewell · October 2013

I never really thought of it as a big deal, I guess. It was just one of those "old days" things to me. If it's that weird maybe I should tell him...

He kinda knows about the Spanish. He's heard me talk to my stepmom on rare occasions when we were trying to keep things from others in the room and he's heard stories about me being carried out of a bar, shouting in Spanish... Good lord...

Maybe I'll just ease into some French tonight and see what he says. I'm totally freaked out that it's weird that he doesn't know I'm fluent.

We're not weird! I swear. Well, we're weird, but not like hide-things-from-each-other-for-malicious-reasons weird.

He doesn't know what I do at my job. Is that weird? His new boss asked what I did and he was like "I don't know... I think she makes flashlights or something." And we laughed about it and went on about whatever we were doing at the time.

SallySunrise · October 2013

Haha! Yes @mrs.sewell, that's kind of weird too. I can't say I fully understand what MH does for a living, but that's because it's hard and I'm not that smart... I definitely know what his job is, and could tell someone in a (albeit fairly unintelligent) nutshell what he does all day. Maybe tell him about it tonight... in French? Sorry, I had to. :P

mrs.sewell · October 2013

Okay, let me put it this way: have you ever watched Pineapple Express? Remember when Seth Rogan was explaining his job to James Franco? And remember how James Franco would repeat the last word, like he was listening but really had no clue what Seth Rogan was saying?

mrs.sewell · October 2013

(Oops. Hit post too soon)
THAT is what explaining my job to my husband is like. And no, we do NOT do drugs. He just has a really short attention span. And he was in an accident a few years ago and suffered brain damage so that probably doesn't help.
My husband is the same guy who thinks parsley and paisley are the same thing... He's special like that and I love him for it.

I beat myself up so much about how chunky DD is. I just wish I could do something to fix it. Like maybe if I tried harder she would be more active? I don't know. Sucks. I am just dreading her 18 month appointment because I know I am going to hear that she is too heavy and feel like a shit mom because of it.

Please don't EVER feel like you are a shit mom, because that couldn't be further from the truth. Your beautiful little girl is so amazingly lucky to have you for her mom.

@kitchencolors I think chunky babies are the cutest! I always say I wish G would have some rolls

I feel you on the beating yourself up thing, though. I do it too, from him being tiny to the lack of speech. Try to remember you are a fabulous mom!

Don't beat yourself up @kitchencolors !! Emery is on the bigger side as well. I was asked twice by my per if I'm giving her junk and juice. I swear I'm not (not judging others that do). She was 31lbs 3 weeks ago. I felt bad so I started cutting back on portion sizes thinking I was feeding her too much. I started taking her out to the park or gymboree daily to run around more. She is crazy active and climbs everything. This week she had a Dr.apt and she was up 6oz!! Its not controllable.

@wmel13 I felt the same way about the episode. Like they could have done more. And I wonder if they will ever address how he died on the show? I bawled when the mom talked about losing her son. I feel for everyone on the show, especially knowing Rachel was his real-life girlfriend.
