Who Gives a Damn?

The uninteresting ramblings of a wife, mother and secretary

Today’s Dickheads…

1. Craig Bellamy – No explanation required.

2. Mal Brown – For referring to Aborigines’ as “cannibals” and claiming it was all in good fun!

3. Senator Steve Fielding – For suggesting women will fall pregnant and have abortions late in the pregnancy just to get a couple of months paid parental leave.


Thank you gentlemen for making me feel like a Rhodes Scholar!

Neutered?

Jed was watching the Simpsons (I know... good mothering) and heard the word "neutered". The conversation went something like this.

Jed: Neutered? Is that where they cut off your rude bits?

Me: The penis stays, the balls get cut off.

Jed: I wouldn't be able to wee.

Me: Are you listening? The penis stays, the balls go.

Jed: BUT I LIKE PLAYING WITH MY BALLS!

Me: I know mate. But don't worry, it's not likely you will ever be neutered!

Make me feel like a criminal

7.00am Saturday driving along Newbridge Road taking Jed to tee-ball... I get the quick burst of siren... look in my rear vision mirror and see the red and blue flashing lights. Now given, I'm not the brightest crayon in the box, I think I'll get out of his way so he can get to who he is upset with. So I move one lane left...so does he. Shit...he's after me. I pull over. He pulls up behind me... takes a good 5 mins for him to get out of his car and approach me.

Cop: Can I see your licence please madam.

Me: hands over licence

Cop: Checks my licence, wanders round the front of the car and checks my rego.

Me: shitting myself cause I still don't know why I've been pulled over.

Cop: Was there some emergency reason you needed to be on the phone?

Me: trying to work out what he is talking about... the penny finally drops... he thinks I was on the mobile. I didn't, I wasn't, I wouldn't, I don't.

Cop: Can you please explain to me why your hand was near your face.

Me: I am drinking a coffee.

Cop: Had anything to drink this morning?

Me: Just my coffee. No, I haven't.

Cop: Count to 10 shoving breatho in my face

Me: 1... 2... 3... 4... 5.... 6.... BEEEEEEEEP

Cop: Okay. No alcohol. The car you were travelling behind, you were too close to. Are you aware of the 2 second rule....explains 2 second rule. I see you have the youngster in the back. I suggest you drive carefully.

Me: Thank you Sir. Merry Christmas
The bastard didn't crack a smile at all... he was filthy he couldn't fine me for something!

My new favourite pastime

Oh, I found my favourite thing in the world to do yesterday... threaten young boys with physical violence. I was walking back to my car in the car park and there's 2 boys (about 10 years old) with their hands cupped looking into my car....

Me: Don't touch my car

Boy 1: walking away.... "mumble, mumble..."

Me: If it doesn't belong to you, don't touch it.

So I put Jed in the car, got in the car myself and looked over at the boys. Boy 1 gives me the finger... so I got out of my car and started charging at them. They took off like a rocket. I felt strong. I felt powerful! I don't know what I would have done if they had've stood their ground... you can't go round beating up 10 year olds!

A joke made up by a 6-year-old

Last night Jed made up a joke…

Q: What has 4 legs and can swim?

A: A donkey wearing a hat.

Who the hell am I to argue with that???

What's this hole for?

This morning Jed popped his penis out of his pyjama fly. He thought he was so funny, laughing at himself... After he put it away

Me: That's what it's there for.

Jed: What?

Me: The hole. So you can go to the toilet.

Jed: I need to go to the toilet.

Me: You just want to use the hole!

Jed: No. For real. I need to go.

So off he trots to the toilet. I go into the bathroom (separate rooms) and he comes in to wash his hands...

Me: Did you use your hole?

Jed: Yep. It just sat there... I didn't even need to hold it... oh, that means I don't need to wash my hands

turns to leave bathroom...

Me: I don't care... you'll wash your hands anyway!
