Friday *cough* Funnies: The Spouse & The Girl’s Room
So this makes two weeks in a row that I’ve been late with my Friday Funnies installment, but better late than never. This week, instead of an amusing video, I’m posting this anecdote:
The Spouse and I were tidying up The Girl’s room the other day, picking up dirty clothes, crinkled up papers and tissues, magazines and myriad other clutter, all of which reminded me of my Superfund site of a bedroom when I was a girl.
After he took in the combination of girlish decorations (a framed gymnastics poster, fabric covered pink plaid bulletin board, pink doll house) as well as the tween ones (Tiger Beat Magazine cut-outs, mostly of the Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato & High School Musical), plus the scented lip glosses and the many hair accoutrements lying around, The Spouse said, “This room scares me.”
“Why?” I asked.
“There’s just too much going on in here.”
Friday Funnies . . . because parents need to laugh. At least once a week.
