The letter Z

Today's blog is brought to you by the letter Z.

My middle kid has a new weird game she is playing with her name. It now has a Z in it. Desziree or Deszi for szhort. Her teacher must think szhe's nutsz or szuper creative. Hopefully it endsz szoon. It'sz on a few of the classz projectsz that are poszted outszide the classzroom. The other parentsz muszt
think that Desi...sorry, Deszi....wasz sztuck with a sztrange name. Who putsz a random letter in their name like that? We're not like the parentsz that named their kidsz Tree, Orangejello, or Asztronaut. Parentsz of the Aiden, Jaeden, and Payden typesz must think we can't szpell or we're oddball hippee parentsz.

I'm hopeful that the Z thing will run it's coursze. Otherwisze, I'll be buszy re-doing the name on her lunchbox, foldersz, toysz, clothesz, etc.

Until next time, buh bye. Szchmidt, out.

first-timer

Okay, I wrote a book. It's a tiny book, but it's a book. Size doesn't matter.

As I mention on page 5 of "parents say the darndest things", the intent was not to write a book or share my wisdom with the world. My wife & a friend were swapping kid stories and a light bulb (in my brain, it was only a 20 watt bulb) went off when our friend said "I never thought I would ever say....."

...Not the kind of junk like mom and day said about poking someone's eye out, or swimming too quickly after eating. I'm talking stupid stuff. Did I ever think I'd say "WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL NOT TO DROP THE SEAT ON OUR BOY STUFF!" Well, no. Not even in college. What about "Was it a poop poop or a little poop?" Again, not even in college.

So, my wife and I began to write down the things we said. If it was weird or silly, it probably made the list on our fridge. Yes, the book was basically written on a Whirlpool appliance.

Wanna get one or a sample page? parentssay@yahoo.com

Okay, last thing. If you have a great line that you'd like to share, post away! Or email parentssay@yahoo.com I'd love to hear the story behind the statement. Sometimes, you don't need a story when you have something as as simple as "stop licking your brother!"

Until next time, buh bye.
