First, before I forget, as I am so, so, so very prone to do - have you entered the contest? If not…you know what? I’m not going to nag you. I’ve mentioned it repeatedly. I’ve offered multiple links. If you don’t want to enter, I can’t make you. Maybe some people just have enough disposable income that they don’t need any stinkin’ $50 Amazon gift certificate. Who am I to judge?
Now, on to the rest of the story. (I hope someone besides Bill gets that reference.) Anyway, I’m feeling snarky. Do you hear me? SNARKY! (Spell check says I can’t possibly feel snarky since snarky isn’t even a real word. Oh ho ho, Spell Check, get intarwebz savvy already.) For every single thing I hear, I have a snide remark to offer in return. I offer this as proof:
Tricia: Beebee. :points at tarantula photo:
Me: No, kid, that’s actually a tarantula, but hey, who needs vocabulary when you’re cute, right?
Who snarks on their infant?! WHO DOES THAT?!?! Me, apparently. I have many, many other examples of my current snarkiness, but I’m too ashamed to share them here. And really? How bad do they have to be that I won’t share them with y’all?
Pretty damn bad is right. But who are you to judge me? :scowl:

I snark on anyone…kids, loved ones, myself, my cats. I think it’s just in my nature to do so.
Although I’m still feeling overly sensitive and emo lately, so I probably shouldn’t dish it out if I can’t take it–which I can’t right now.
How sad is that? I can’t even snark right now. I better shape the fuck up because I need to snark. I snark, therefore I am. LOL

d - I’m not normally like that, though. I’m just very impatient today.

Yeaaaah. I’m impatient every day. LOL I swear that is one of my biggest lessons I need to learn while I’m here. I gotta learn to be more like Jim and all “whatevs….That doesn’t sound like something they’d do.” Ahahahahaha!

d - I had to learn to be patient or kill and eat my young. It was a tough call. It still is most days.

Oh, please. Being snarky to your children builds character in them. I read it in that one pregnancy book everyone is supposed to read. ::nod::

Robbi - My edition must be missing some pages. Whew. Do I feel better. :grin:

I’m Super Snark to my kids. And it DOES build character! And intelligence: they’re *just* starting to get what it means to be ironic. That’s pretty good for a toddler and a preschooler.
Snark on!

Deb - It’s funny you say this. Lenna’s AIG (academically/intellectually gifted) coordinator told us it was “impressive” that Lenna grasped sarcasm at age 6. Bill and I just started laughing. Uh, in our house, you better grasp it, or you’re going to walk around butthurt a lot. :grin:
And OMG, I just sounded like a bragging mommy. Someone please just beat me now.
