If you were to ask me if I'd ever had the bad luck to miss my daily cocktail, I'd have to say that I doubt it; where certain things are concerned, I plan ahead. - Luis Buñuel

Poo-pooing the myth of DINKS

While this blog may make it seem like our life is one big cocktail party with us walking around like Katherine Hepburn & Cary Grant, complete with witticisms and martinis, we have our daily household issues just like those of you with kids.

For full disclosure, I must reveal that technically we have two kids of sorts:  "No No Bad Dog" (NNBD) and "Sweet Baby Girl" (SBG).  And like kids, they provide us with great joy.  But also like kids, they mostly make us scratch our head and say "WTF?!"

Take this morning for example:

Me:  Oh gross, SBG just ate NNBD'S poop.

Mr. D:   What?!

Me:  And it was fresh.

Mr. D:   Well there goes my appetite for breakfast.

Me:   Seriously.  (long pause)  Although, we don't really know what poop takes like.  Could taste like chocolate bars infused with sunshine for all we know.  (another long pause)  But considering the way it smells, I highly doubt it.

Mr. D (laughing):  You know, chocolate bars may not have been the best analogy.

Great, now I can't eat chocolate bars anymore.  And you'd better believe I fed SBG her treat this morning using tongs.  Maybe have to change her name to Gross Baby Girl.
