“But Mom, I don’t care about looking good. I’m gonna save that for when I
grow-up and don’t have any fun stuff left to do.” Jay-8
Hmmm…an interesting perspective.
Follow a mother's plight to find the funny in the frustrating and save her sanity. She will use this as blackmail, you can use it for birth control.Don’t Steal My Stuff…my kids will cry!

On your wedding day, just tell all your friends and family that you were way too busy having fun to be bothered with brushing your teeth and wiping the booger from your nose. They’ll completely understand. 😉

Not me. It was easier to make myself look good when I was younger. The work involved in looking good nowadays? Not worth it, thanks. I have better things to do. 🙂

Lenore, the maintenance these days is ridiculous. 😦

How interesting…I just hit “publish” a few minutes ago, on my own post connected to “Mirror, Mirror”, (only called it my demonic magic mirror) and popped over here. What a coincidence! I guess something is in the air? (like my fat?)

Oh yeah. He’ll save that looking-good stuff – until the right little cutie catches his eye. Then you’ll need another bathroom just for HIS haircare stuff!

That day seems so far away. Right now, I’m focused on getting him to use soap when he washes his hands and toothpaste when he brushes his teeth…he’s been caught just wetting his toothbrush. 😦

I’m afraid I just can’t relate on this one.
Now where’s that bowl… I think it’s time to give my hair a bit of a trim…

Would that be a small bowl or a large bowl? More like Lloyd Christmas from Dumb and Dumber or Moe from the Three Stooges? Just curious. 😉

Hahaha… I like to switch it up every now and then. Which reminds me, it’s about time to break out my new fall bowl, er, look. 🙂

Since I’m still having fun, I guess I should adopt his philosophy. I’m just not ready to look good quite yet.

Fun or looking good? I think I’d pick fun too…but I’d still like to brush my hair and teeth. Sadly, Jay feels that falls under the “looking good” category.

Hahahaha! I’m going to have to write that down and bust it up the next time I get the up-and-down gaze coupled with an “ORLY?” look! 😀

Good idea, Deb. To be used in place of the standard retort, “What are YOU looking at?” Or my daughter’s fave, “Stare much?” 😉
