Sippycups Snippets

So, it's been a while since I've done a snippets post.  Mostly, because things have just been kind of crazy snippety and not really FUN snippety.  Also, because BabyBoy talks ALL THE TIME and there are no snippets.  It's just non stop diarhhea of the mouth.  And not the cute, off the cuff kind.  More like the smart ass, my ears are burning kind.

HOWEVER...we've been in Williamsburg this week for a little family vacay.  Reconstructed family, that is.  Yes, my FIANCE Jeremie is with us and that adds a whole knew wrench into the ballgame.  A few good ones thus far:

My niece, Melissa, after spending THREE minutes with us at the Great Wolf Lodge:  "Umm, why don't your kids listen to you?"  Well, gee, I don't know if it's the fact that they saw me drink a BL Lime and know my weakness or that's it's 105 degrees outside and we're hostiled in here like Russian prostitutes.  Either way, they don't listen so get on it and enjoy it while you can.

Today in ElmoLand at Busch Gardens:  "Mamn?  You aren't supposed to have that BL Lime in the children's area.  Me:  "Really?  I'll try to suck it down just as quickly as I can seeing as how I was almost just ousted from the park because my kids assaulted Elmo and called him lame."  Seriously?  Where else would they need the beer the MOST?  It's like the freakin' Magic Kingdom!  Get over the PC crap already.

In the Pompei ride:  The man in front of us was REALLY trying to give his 10 year old a history lesson.  WE,he hell, he clearly wasn't aware that I have BEEN to POMPEII and my kids have heard all about it.  BabyGirl (6) felt the need to ensure him that indeed, people roasted much like as in the fires of hell and there was NO WATER FALL.  Sweet.

And to top it off with one last doozy...when you're handicapped...but an olympian, it's a bit difficult to get the pity of the staff at Busch Gardens.  You can brace but you can't walk you say?  Tough schnookies.  We see the size of your guns.  Figure it out.  But figure it out with your family at the front of the line.  Not bad.
