Shoes with velcro, I'm just sayin', some mornings, would come in very handy for me. And speaking of shoes, why can't I find a pair with Jude Law on them?
Not once after watching Law and Order has anyone on there told me how smart I am at the end for following the clues and solving the mystery. But kids shows, you get kudos all the time for helping or guessing or tapping out a rhythm correctly... I can totally do all that stuff, but no one cares.
Where's the Root Canal Fairy? I could have used some money under my pillow that night, let me tell you. If for nothing else than to help me pay for the darn thing.
I covet so many of my kids' toys, I don't know where to begin. The Bilibo is probably the one for which I most want to not exceed the weight limit. Is it a stool? Is it a chair? Is it a super awesome spinning ball of breath-taking fun? I think so. I'll never know unless someone decides to make a much bigger one.
Sometimes I might want to colour a little bit while I wait for my food to come in a restaurant, but does anyone offer me crayons or even slightly more grown-up pastels? No. Maybe a little toy ipod with my meal? Nope.
I wouldn't mind, if every so often, one of my books had a pop-up, or a picture that changes when I move the page back and forth.
Their cereal has cute bright pictures all over the box, puzzles, and mazes... Adult cereal? Twigs. Ingredient lists that highlight fiber. Brown. Beige. I ask you, who needs bright colours and mind awakening puzzles in the morning? Me, having been up 3 times at night with a baby, stumbling into the kitchen with 4 kids in need of service? Or the kids, who wake up bouncing off the walls, thrilled that the sun finally came up so they could come out of their rooms? Where's my cereal with a prize inside, maybe a scratch-off lottery card?
Well, I'm off. Off to brush my teeth with non-sparkly toothpaste, put on my boring cotton non-footy pajamas. Kids have no idea how good they have it. They won't know until they aren't kids anymore. Of course, I wouldn't want it any other way for them, I just wish it all lasted a few decades longer.

Wendy, they DO make adult sized cotton footed pajamas. You should get a pair! I am sure they are kinda easy to find in October. You will look like a giant teletubby, which might provide some good comic relief.
Jude Law shoes, that sounds great. : )
how about the baby swings? motorized, cushy, entertaining lights, & music that puts you to sleep- YES please!
Thanks for such an entertaining post. I must say, I thoroughly agree with your assessments. You're great, Wendy!
Haha, thanks to Adhis for inspiring you to blog!
Adults don't eat colorful cereal or use sparkly toothpaste or play with kids' toys? Please excuse me while I go hide the evidence.
HECK. YEAH.
To all of it.
I had footed PJ's a few years back. They were way hot. Not sexy hot. They were fire and hell hot, and the butt-flap only helped a little. So, I was ok in passing them on.
Dave thinks it's funny that my travel toothpaste is fruity-flavored princess toothpaste. I told him he's welcome to use the gum-flavored Power Rangers toothpaste. It's next to the princesses.
Great post!
you are always entertaining! i loved this post :) i never really thought of these things this way...except for the soft, silky blanket. oh how i wish i had one of those for my bed. maybe someday! love you :)
Love this post! I am right there with you....except I want Johnny Depp on my shoes! The more I read your posts, the more I realize what I've been missing out on for all these years that we lost touch! I'm not sure how we lost touch either, so let's just blame Craig :) I'm excited to slowly catch up with each others lives....and if you send me your address, I'll send you a CD so you can throw away that old cassette!
