When Your Nethers Itch: A Cautionary Tale Involving Chicken Nuggets
I have totally failed in the serving the family dinner department lately. Not that we’ve ever lived a sort of traditional family life (meaning my big strong husband goes to work while I stay home and roll socks into balls). No. It’s always been like an accidental phenomenon if I prepared a meal and served [...]
Since When Do You Call Me Shauna?
Over the years I’ve learned some things from my teenagers. Besides being extremely annoying and narcissistic, they’re also acutely aware of how things “make them feel.” Major eye roll. I’m not sure if this holds true with teenage boys–I have the distinct pleasure of having teenage daughters. By the time my 4th child (and only [...]
How NOT To Talk To Your Kids About The BP Oil Spill
While there might be some merit to talking about all the life in the sea and how a giant slick of life-snuffing oil impacts the communities of Ariel and Nemo and SpongeBob, my recommendation is that you NOT use visual aids like the one that I have posted below, lest you find yourself in a [...]
Her Ovaries Will Go On
As a Canadian, I’d just like to say this: we are in no way responsible for Celine Dion. We disavow Celine Dion. America, please take her, and her babies. They can live in Vegas. She can buy them diamond-encrusted binkies there. You can read more about Celine’s Alors! J’adore to have more babies! project at [...]
Bad Bunny, Bad Bunny, Whatcha Gonna Do?
We all have a scary Santa photo – you know, a photo of a child, somewhere in the vicinity of a man with a fake beard and a red suit pretending to be Santa and terrifying the ever-loving crap out of the child in question – somewhere in our family photo albums. And for those [...]
Bad Mom Make-over
This weekend was spent drinking too much coffee and biting too many nails because moving a blog? It ain’t easy. Especially when you assign the project of moving the blog to the Bad Moms tech team and wait one freaking second, I am the entire Bad Moms tech team. And as the Bad Moms Club [...]
Canadian Teachers Redefine School Spirit, And Not In A Good Way
In the arena of people that I always think of as asexual, possibly even neutered, teachers rank right up there with grandparents and clergy. I mean, I know that they’re human, but still. When I was in high school, the idea of my math teacher dating was inconceivable. He just went home every night and [...]
Olympic Curler Is Five Months Pregnant, And We’re Totally Not Going To Make Any Jokes About What That Says About Curling
If you'd asked me a month ago what I thought about pregnant women curling, I would told you that it was my understanding that pregnant women really should never get perms, because of all the potentially toxic chemicals, and also because it is no longer the 80's. Of course, we're right in the middle of [...]
If The Toy Description Has The Words ‘Russian Roulette’ In It? Automatic Fail
Before I read the description I was working under the assumption that this toy was just a massive translation c*ck-up or something. But I don't really see how someone misinterpreted 'Russian Roulette' since the description sounds pretty much in tune with the definition for that particular method of death. All I really know about this [...]
Where The Wild Sopranos Are
I have yet to see Where The Wild Things Are – not because I'm not interested in seeing that movie – I am – but just like with every other freakin' movie I want to see in the theatre, I had to weigh finding AND affording a babysitter against waiting for it to come out [...]
