me 2 me : part uno

me: hey. HEY, you! step away…from…the computer. tha-a-a-t’s right. i wanna talk to you. why don’t you go mix up some iced tazo chai…

me2: hrmmm. i can tell THIS is gonna be good.

me: so … you know the things that you didn’t do as a parent because your mother did them to you and you resented them immensely even though you realized, as an adult, that they probably made you a better person?

me2: ummm, yeah.

me: i think i should’ve done more of those things.

me2: REEE-ally. are you gonna tell your MOTHER that?

me: well, NO.

me2: baby.

me: bitch.

me2: weeeenie.

me: shutup.

me2: i bet there’s one thing you’re glad you didn’t do…

me: what thing is that?

me2: the Raging Drawer-Dumping PMS Dance.

me: oh GAWD.

me2: ALL the contents of EVERY drawer and EVERY shelf and EVERY box … dumped into the middle of the room … accompanied by a screaming lecture of some kind.

me: ugh. i HATED that. i’m DEFINITELY glad i didn’t do THAT.

me2: hrmmm, well…

me: well WHAT.

me2: you DO keep your drawers nice and tidy now…

me: oh shut UP.

    Ok, another reason not to have children - having to admit my parents were in any way shape or form good at it. That *so* is never going to happen.

    I thought my mother was the only one who did the drawer dumping thing.

    But did your mom ever throw your contents of your room on the lawn?

    no, she never did.

    but i’m about to do that to zakk. i hope it is as cleansing a feeling as it seems it would be.

    if i dumped his drawers in the middle of his room, he wouldn’t know the difference … or he’d just kick it to the side… that boy has MASSIVE slob genes. and jeans.

    my parents were just happy if i ever put anything *in* my drawers. usually i just used floors, but that way i knew where everything was. i mean, i could pinpoint an item, by pile and depth buried, within a very small margin. it’s a gift.

    I have yet to do the drawer-dumping thing, but I am tempted to do the Legos-out-the-window thing. I am sooo tired of stepping on those buggers…
