I have a little issue with sarcasm.
But I can’t really help it.
It’s just…
…involuntary.
Yesterday Number 3 came home with one of those annoying math homework papers where the directions say to discuss crap with “someone at home.”
So he said to me, “Mom, who should I talk with about this?”
I was standing two feet away from him.
Number 7, who is 18 months old, was also in the kitchen.
She says mommy, dada and bobbo.
So I said, “Number 7’s right there. She’d be a great person to talk to. I’m sure she can really help you out with that.”
I know it’s not behavior I really want to teach the kids.
But I couldn’t help myself…
Anyway, yesterday I posted this on the faceboook page:
Our parents survived without wipes, right?
How the hell did they do that?
I have 3 measly wipes left in the box, and it feels as though the end of the world is near.
I’m not actually preparing for Armageddon as I sit here, wipeless.
It just struck me as funny that I have come to depend on them so much.
Like changing a diaper is not even possible without the use of wipes.
So when someone left this comment:
Really? You need help
Well, I really had to hold myself back.
I mean,
But I didn’t say anything really sarcastic.
You know, like this:
But I really wanted to.
And restraining myself was pretty hard.
Waaaay harder than changing a diaper sans wipes.

Don’t feel bad about the sarcasm, usie-sarcasm is an inherited Johnson trait evidently as many of us “suffer” from it-lol
I am so sarcastic sometimes that my husband has to ask…”are you serious or just being sarcastic?” It’s funny…. oh, and I totally get the wipes thing! 🙂
Sarcasm is my second language! But I am always torn when my 5 year old says something really sarcastic and perfectly appropriate for the situation, do I laugh my a$$ off or do I say, “f**k in 10 years, this is going to suck.” I’m going with sarcasm is a sign of intelligence, so my family is filled with smartly pants.
my 7 year old is coming into his sarcasm. He actually made me pause when he said something the other night….then I busted out laughing. I feel sorry for those out there that don’t understand or “get” dry/sarcastic humor……their asses must be quite sore with their heads always being stuck up there.
1st of all, life would suck A$$ if we did not have sarcasim. 2nd, NO WIPES!? um you can only fold a wash cloth so many ways, and if you are not next to a sink or have a bowl of water on hand (and can you really wash a shitty rag out well in a bowl of water?) how in the hell do you expect to clean a major blow out diaper? Just another reason why I personally couldn’t do cloth diapers….. its a throw away society sorry people.
