8th grade 'graduation' was tonight, complete with cap and gowns (GAG. but I digress....).

And we are hard on the 'tipesh-esre' tekufa around here. This shabbos I was ready to disown my older two. I have never been more mortified than what happend with one of my boys. One of our guests used the bathroom, but ds thought it was his brother. So he goes into the bathroom and starts yelling, "IT SMELLS LIKE A SEWER IN HERE! WHAT DID YOU DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO? IT SMELLS LIKE SOMETHING DIED!" And on and on. And he's locked in the bathroom so I can't do anything to stop him. :blink: He came out and I grabbed him and dragged him into my room and said half wanting to kill him and half trying to keep a straight face 'ARE YOU CRAZY?!?! Do you realize who was in that bathroom before you?!?!?!?' I wanted to KILL HIM. But I'll tell you - that bathroom did smell like both a sewer AND a carcass.....

I'm totally mortified about the guest though.

:) Looking forward to Zusha and Gedalya pulling such stunts and tempting me to bash their heads together... Poor, poor you.
It's fun, isn't it, to have teenage boys. And all us youngsters think toddlerhood is mortifying enough...

Rikal - look at my signature. I am in it for the LONG haul. The first 5 are in 6 years. It's going to be very interesting around here for a while. I realized that in the past year, my bill for deoderant and acne creams has spiked with three of them needing it now.

Lucky yours want it. Mine had to go to yeshiva and hear it from the guys. Ima wasn't good enough to convince them to take care of hygiene.

Hope you don't mind me pinching the sig idea. I like it better than pics which I find a pain here as I am just now starting to upload and they aren't accepted from my HD.

My 5 yr old got a present yesterday, unwrapped it in front of the giver & said:
"Disguasting, a book again!"

:help :bricks :hide :pound :ohno

I don't know I would say one or the other is 'easier'. They are different.

haha haha haha haha

Sorry for laughing but that was so funny! all the more so b/c I can just see my guys doing that. ("You STIIIIINK!" being a rather popular slur around here.) Ouch, my stomach still hurts--thanks for the workout. (Did you know a full-fledged belly laugh is as good a workout as several crunches?)

Oh my goodness - chavamom - I'm sorry but that is incredibly hilarous. Albeit mortifying for you but good and funny to read about :ha

It's always funnier when it happens to someone else. Thanx for the good laugh. I'm the oldest of 10 kids and I have 6 brothers, so I can relate.

My daughter is finishing 9th grade, so I can tell you that sometimes you want to strangle them and yourself as well. Puberty...whoever thought that one up must have not had kids. Someone told me that boys are harder than girls. My ds is 13 y.o. and is already driving me up the wall. Can't you see how bald I've become from pulling all my hair out? :doh!

Good luck in keeping your sanity. :blink: :huh: :D

OK, I confess to telling DH the story (w/o any identifying info of course), while laughing so hard i had to start over about 4 times before i could get it all out. Then I was haha for another 5 minutes. That was the most fun, to say nothing of the most exercise, i had all day.
