Comment on The Adventure Of The Wandering Pajama-Clad Toddler by sue frazier

I totally feel your pain! When my now 7 year old was on the brink of his third birthday, he used a lawn chair to get up to the gate lock, unlock it, open the gate, walked two blocks down the street, crossed a busy road around 6 pm at night and was playing with rocks in the parking lot of a record store! thankfully, the store owner’s came out and scooped him up!

And about three weeks ago my now 3 year old went for a hike in the woods with the dog. That necessitated police intervention and search dogs!!!

These kids are out to kill me!!

I The go-to-complaint, for people who either hate or are ignorant of any particular style of music, is that “it all sounds the same”. Sometimes a band just has a certain sound, which their fans both identify with and appreciate (AC/DC, Bob Marley, etc). Those who don’t “get it” turn grumpy when they could just turn the dial. On another note, I was happy to see that last night alone, he played 3 of the 10 gems you thought he probably wouldn’t play at all on this tour:” Havana Daydreamin’”, “Trying to Reason With The Hurricane Season” (encore) and “The Wino and I Know” (opening song). Actually, he usually mixes his catalog up pretty well, considering that he still wants to play the songs that those seeing him for the first time expect to hear. Each show,his setlist has 8 “sacred cows” and the next 20 or so selections are anybody’s guess. It seems to be working for him.

Thanks, Kelley, though the idea itself came from Additional Nickmom Dude Person Chase McFadden, I’m just applying it to Kanye’s life, which is how I handle most things. Will definitely be back next week for #ftf. Maybe we should try it with, like, lamb jokes this time

I just read this this morning on NickMom! I love your Nanny Application series. Thanks SO much for linking up with the #findingthefunny party. I hope you will be back again next week! Until then, I’ll be thinking of some more cow jokes. Okay, I’ll stop. Really.

(Also? DOB 4/22/75. What up?)
