Sorry Mrs. C.

It seems that I have gotten my 5 year old son into some trouble at preschool. See, in our house we don't have much good to say about our pResident. In fact, we like to refer to him as pResident stupidhead. It is encouraged in our house. I like my kids to be well educated on the politics and make their own minds of course. So here's where the trouble comes in. The teacher asked my child to name some things he doesn't like: hmmm...shots, cabbage patch dolls, the backyardigans, and pResident Stupidhead, our current and beloved president. It appears that you can't call someone stupidhead in preschool though. Huh, who would have thought? They are doing some good there. I mean we can't go around spreading rumors and calling people names and think we can get ahead, can we pResident stu...I mean intellectually challanged-head?

Standing Room Only

I can't begin to count the times I've boarded the train to and from work to find barely enough room to place my feet in the door. It's usually hot and smells drift through the air. I am not complaining about any of that. What I hate is the selfish idiots who refuse to deshoulder their courier bags, or worse yet, take off their back pack. I mean every time they turn they ram somebody with their overstuffed bag. And why is these people are always carrying half their possessions anyway? Who needs to carry a tennis raquet and a skateboard to work? Wait there isn't a new sport I'm missing? Ok, good. Where was I? Oh yes, these selfish a-holes feel they are entitled to beat you and take up the space of two people so they can play skate tennis at lunch. I think I will write a friend at the county and request a ban on wearing backpacks and shouldering bags while on the train. Or, genius idea here, how about the space hogs take the pack off and put it between their legs on the floor? Show a little less contempt for others would ya?
