Today’s post comes to you from my little sister, Sheridan.  Because I am busy, and she is not, and she is funny but doesn’t have her own blog and it is a win-win for her to do a guest post today. 

 

Well hello there.  Unfortunately, your normal blogger is inundated with work related blah blah blah. (Apparently some people actually do work at their job.) She has asked me, her lovely and talented sister, to write a blog to satisfy the hungry demand for scintillating stories and anecdotes.  Wish granted.

 

I warned her my life is not very exciting & probably not blog-worthy, so she suggested I tell some tales of my spastic childhood. I will do so in the form of a list of things never to subject your children to, should you ever have any:

1. Huge, sun-eclipsing bows may seem cute in theory, but in execution, not so much. Do not choose picture day as the day to place this bow directly on the top of your daughter’s head. Humiliation & ridicule will follow for years to come. See: 4th grade yearbook.  [Ed. note:  Yes.  It was…bad.]
2. When your child tries to tell you that they are supposed to wear shorts and a t-shirt for the school play they have a solo in (ok so this one gets a little specific), please believe them. Do not send them in a dress, so that they will be the ONLY one in a dress. Really I just like to give my mom a hard time about this- no one made fun of me or anything. But the pain…..the pain still shows. In my eyes- you can SEE it. 
3. Mullets are not business in the front, party in the back. They are just ugly.  [Ed. note:  At least you never had a hairdo that earned you the nickname “Davy Crockett”.] 
4. The “naked in the bath-tub and/or area rug, aren’t you so cute” picture that is really only taken to embarrass the crap out of you when you are a teenager- stop the insanity.  [Ed. note:  I bet you can’t even do this anymore without the authorities being notified.]

(Disclaimer: I have wonderful parents and this is written only as a joke… based on actual events.)

And now, I will leave you with this link, quite possibly one of the funniest things I have ever seen. If you don’t like it, then obviously you are not funny & do not appreciate funny [Ed. note:  it’s true, it is quite hilarious, and if you don’t think so you may be dead inside]. JK, but LIKE IT.

Enjoy & Happy Thursday!
