Fly On The Wall

     Today I am participating in a group blog posting called "Fly On The Wall", created by Karen over at www.bakinginatornado.com. There are 14 other bloggers participating in this fun little project that allows our readers a sneak peak into a day in the life of a blogger. Or as I call it, "Embarrassing Things We Really Shouldn't Share With The Public".
     Before entering my home, there are several signs posted outside that forewarn visitors what they might encounter inside.
     Our Family is nuts:

     We belong in the looney bin:

     We take NO responsibility for unattended children:



     If you are faint of heart, turn back now because this blog post is not for you. If you find the mentioning of certain bodily functions offensive, click out of my site now and find a nice blog post on DIY sofa covers or frilly lamp shades.
     I have a teenager and 3 adult children. When we are all together under the same roof, things get interesting. If you were a fly on the wall in my house during this time, here are some snippets of conversation you would have heard:

     "Dad is just a crusty old man who sunbathes with dinosaurs and eats bologna sandwiches."

     "Stop singing Whitney Houston songs! My ears are bleeding!"

     "Don't eat corn! That junk ricochets back at you in the toilet!"

     "It's a sign of sisterly love that our toenails fell off on the same day. That's what I call true bonding."

     "Why did you let me eat that much orzo? Now I need a stomach pump."

     "I want a penguin. And a kangaroo."
     "Yeah, well I wanted a yard gnome but I never got one."

     "Don't you hate it when you burp and throw up in you mouth at the same time?"
     "Can't be any worse than pushing out a fart and then end up peeing a little bit in your pants."

     "Cut your damn Hobbit toenails!"

     " I gotta pee so bad my bladder is gonna burst in my throat!"

     "You let the dog lick your face? He just ate his own poop outside!"

     "Stop hoarding all the peanut granola bars in your room. What are you, a squirrel?"

     "Oh, she pooped in her diaper. That was a nice little surprise package."

     "You need to get out of sloth mode and get busy doing your chores!"

     "Don't cut your toenails next to me while I'm eating lunch. I don't want those flying missiles landing in my macaroni salad."

     "I'm not putting my laundry in with his. I don't want our clothes rubbing together in the washing machine. I can't even dry my face off on those towels because they all smell like his dirty under ware."

     "No, sweet potato casserole does not come from ear wax."

     "Who the hell had a picnic in the bathroom?"
     "What do you mean?"
     "There's a meatloaf in the toilet and lemonade all over the seat."


     And in the past week, I have been referred to by my children as a:
     Rotten vagina
     Poopsicle
     Blogger whore
     Wine bee-otch
     Fatty McFarty

     Don't get mad, people! These are terms of endearment in my home. Which is why I love my family so much.
     Welcome to the nuthouse!

  1. I AM DYING OVER HERE! I think my family and your family need to hang out! ;-)

    Velch: A vomity belch. I made it up.

    Toenails in the macaroni salad? Could add some interesting texture.

    Sweet potatoes DO look like earwax!

    I am proud to call you my friend! XOXO!

    1. But he DOES pee in the house---he has to wear a doggy diaper. He's my tough guy in a diaper!!!

  22. Huh, sounds just like home... :)

    And I do agree, you should never, never let a dog lick you. Especially in the face. Just before it was eating the poo, it was rolling on and licking the dead possum next door. Just sayin'...

    I like the bathroom humor too. I think I'll use the picnic line on my brother. Thanks for the ammo.

    1. You can always rely on the Doyles to give you some good bathroom humor. And the possum remark...EEEWWW! Today I caught the dog eating my granddaughter's poopy diaper from the trash. It will be a LONG time before I share any doggy kisses.

  26. The visuals I had reading this post, made me put on some protective clothing. I imagined the corn splattering around the bathroom mixed with gunge (you know what I mean), the vomit in the mouth after burping, and the bladder bursting in the throat. You should do a mini TV series and call it 'The Family', it sure would liven up up channels, ha ha ha.
    As for the names of endearment, my favourite was 'poopsicle' but I did wonder why you was labeled that way!
    I hate to say this, but your family are nuts for true :)

    1. I have no clue where my kids come up with this stuff. I think from their father. They are all wacky--I'm the only normal one in the family, can't you tell?

  27. My power went out last night, so I commented from my phone.. I see it didn't work.. oh well...

  32. Good post...

    The one about farting and peeing reminds me of a time when I went to take a shit a work. Well the problem was I forgot to tuck and quite a bit shot out into my pants. I spent the next twenty minutes with the hand dryer pointed down my pants to dry me off.
