The Suck Song

Maggie is going into one of those “vocal” phases where she is adding new words into her vocabulary almost non-stop. Today we drove out to the new house and then to Target. Which definitely reminded me of why I don’t shop at Target on the weekends… ugh.

Have I mentioned that I am really not very fond of men? I’m not. In fact, I’m surprised I’m even married sometimes, because men annoy me to no end. Like I’ve mentioned before, Jennifer Aniston should probably be made aware of the fact that Brad Pitt is not the only one missing a sensitivity chip - 99% of the male population is missing that same chip.

The entire time I am in Target, Ethan is complaining about how he hates Target and that it’s “never just a simple 20 minute trip.” He bitched so much that I threatened to not allow him to go to the movies next weekend. Have I mentioned I really, really don’t like teenagers? I don’t. Can’t stand them… not even mine.

At some point Ethan says, “this sucks.”

To which Maggie looks up puzzled, appearing to contemplate what is apparently a new word to her and then proceeds to sing, “Suck… suck suck suck suck suck suck… suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!!!!!!!

Loud enough that I felt compelled to say, “Sock? Yes, you have lovely PINK SOCKS on today, don’t you? Look at those pretty pink socks, Maggie.”

My two-year old genius replies, “No! Stop! SUCK! SUCK SUCK SUCK!!!!!”

And then goes back to singing “The Suck Song.”

Ethan could only grumble, “see even MAGGIE hates Target.”

I said, “You know, they offered to give you a sex change when you were born… I probably should have taken them up on the offer. ”

Hah! I have to get a poster of the little bunny graphic. I understand what you mean about teenagers, but they do have they charms. Or maybe I’ve just convinced myself of that cause I teach 4 classes of 7th-9th graders? :)

Sounds like Maggie has a new favorite word!

delite says:

LOL
When my son was 2 he would say frunk for truck but it sounded more like fuck, so suck is ok! :D

I bet she looks cute singing it though.

LOL. And this is the reason why I’m not having kids. My fiance talked about it long before he asked me to marry him and we both agreed that we’re too selfish w/ our time to have children. Reading your post just reinforced our decision. And yes, you’re right about the whole sensitivity chip thing. There are days when I wish I was still single, spending time by myself and not feeling guilty about it.

Kestrel Ouch… 7-9th graders, you are brave! ;o) I have to admit, Ethan has a great sense of humor, but when he is bad… he’s just really bad. LOL

Crazy Lady It was a short-lived fascination, thankfully. Although, I’m sure it will come back to haunt me at the worst possible time. ;o)

delite My sister used to say fuck for smoke… imagine my parent’s horror every time they saw smoke knowing what might come flying out of my sister’s mouth. LOL

Chickie That’s the only thing that ensures the kid will continue living… she’s too cute. ;o)

geminiwisdom I adore my kids, but there are those days when I just want to run away from home. As for being single… the longer I am married the more detailed the fantasy becomes, so far I have my imaginary apartment completely decorated and you should see what my social calendar looks like! ;o)

Oh, Honey, does The Queen know what you mean.

Children should be placed into a coma at age 13 and not be awakened until age 30.

Of course, they’d still be age 13 maturity-wise when they woke up, so that’s not a good idea after all.

That idea sucks.

Very truly yours,
EB

Empress Baggie LOL, that’s true, tempting, but true.
