Just Ten?

I've been seeing all of these blog posts about "ten things you should never say". I've read many writers' lists of "Ten Things You Should Never Say to a Writer" or "Ten Things You Should Never Say to a Food Blogger". Then there was "Ten Things You Should Never Say to a New Mom" and "Ten Things You Should Never Say to a Nursing Mom" and "Ten Things You Should Never Say to a Mom of Toddlers."

Not to be left out, I've decided to do a Ten Things post of my own. Since I don't seem to fit into any real group, I'm sure you'll all be interested in a more personal perspective. So . . .

Ten Things You Should Never Say to  . . . 

{{drum roll, please}} 

Me!


Just ten?


Shut up. I'm showing restraint.


Ten Things You Should Never Say to Me:


1. I finished that bottle of wine.

2. I'm sure you're just having a bad hair day.


3. I'm sick of answering the house phone so I've been giving all the telemarketers your cell number.


4. What's burning?

5. I lit your car on fire. Well, that one's been said me before (guess we know what's burning after all), but believe me when I say I DO NOT want to ever hear it again.


6. Is that cookie sugar free?

7. Is this recipe an experiment?

8. I used the last of the toilet paper.

9. It was an accident. Because we all know that ANYTHING that comes before or after that statement is not going to be good news.

10. I volunteered you for the dunk machine at the fundraiser.

That's it, ten things. 

You won't be surprised if there's a follow up post with 10 more things, will you?

  6. Haha! Love your list you crack me up. The car on fire still gets me every time. I can just picture the chaos! I don't know how we ever survived our kids. I am on a marathon catch up tonight. I have been doing some crazy stuff in the last few days. I really would like to talk to you about it when you have a chance. Maybe tomorrow or Sunday. I need some advice and I feel like I can trust you with this. Not bad I'm going out on a giant limb. Chasing the dream hoping I don't go splat!

    1. I'm here. Send me an email or a PM. And chase that dream. Bet you don't splat but even if you do it will be worth the try.
