My Oldest is chatting about getting her nails painted a blazing shade of orange, and as I go into a thought provoking explaination about tasteful vs tacky, she says:
" Then I'm gonna have an anchor design put on this finger, cause we have a thing in school where we make an anchor sign and write ' I refuse to sink' around it......"
Me: Ummkay.....well honey.....I think, *and I might be wrong.......cause being a mother clearly means my brain doesnt work right* , that the anchors job is to SINK.
They sink as far as a sinker can sink......like to the very bottom.......of the ocean.
It just simply doesnt make sense to draw an anchor, and write " I refuse to sink"
Her: yeah it does, you just dont get it......
-------*side eye* 10 bucks says she's wrote this all over the place AND put her first & last name on it, so everyone knows MY kid thinks anchors refuse to sink.

I also got a warning, from the bus driver , on one of my Middles today.
Evidently he has been acting a donkey on the school bus.
I was lecturing about how the bus drivers job, is to get my Most Precious gifts home safely......
And how kids ,acting like they missed their sunshine meds, can cause him to wreck and hurt everyone inside.
I simply asked: " What do you think happens to people, when they know they caused others to get hurt?"
******expecting " they feel bad about it"*******
This is what I got: You go to jail, til you die, BUT dont drop the soap!! .......I think its because its hard to pick back up, and then you cant get your bodies clean cause the soap will be dirty from the floor.
------What the What?!?!?! My brain shut down after "Dont drop the soap".......
Where the sam hill did that come from?!?! Sweet Baby Jesus!!
Me: *ahem* yes.....exactly........cause dirty soap cant make bodies clean......
Didnt even attempt to finish that conversation. *sigh*
He's just gonna hafta act funky.....go to jail.....and not drop the soap if he wants to stay clean in the slammer.
There is nothing in the Mothers Recovery Manual that instructs you on how to come back from " dont drop the soap". Nothing.......
......they dont pay me enough for this mess.
I was talking about this with my sister the other day. The 21 year old, not the sense - lacking 13 year old. She explained to me that "Refuse to Sink" means that even an anchor won't hold you down....I still think its dumb lol.
ReplyDeleteBecause and anchor will most assuredly hold your butt down...until you drown... and then the saying is pointless anyways lol
