Warning, Warning! Disengage Mouth

Just when you think the world has evolved....

Guy: So what are you going to do? Do you have another job lined up?

Me: No. I'm hoping to pull together enough work to make Bear's tuition at a Montessori. Maybe a little more.

Guy: How?

Me: Writing, I hope. Maybe some technical writing.

Guy: Not full-time?

Me: No, no... Full-time taking care of Bear. When he's at school, stay at home stuff.

Guy: I give you 3 months, tops.

Me
: What do you mean?

Guy: You're just not the type to sit around eating bon-bons, you know?

2 Bon bons are yummy & I found time to eat them when I was hunkered down in the bathtub hiding from the demons, I mean kids.

3 Where are my bon-bons? Why am I not sitting around? I am doing this wrong!

4 Bon bons. Umm....that's just silly. Well, at least I agree that you aren't the type who sits around eating bon bons.

5 That's what I call Corporate Think - a judgemental arrogance that helps that person justify working all of those long hours himself. Now that I'm not working I'm exercising, making jewelry and buying art that is sold at a local retail shop. Bon Bons my arse!

6 The problem with bon bons is that I have to listen to all that whining, since the kids want to eat them too. I'm sticking to gin & tonics.

7 Bon Bons... you're kidding me, right? In my entire 8 years as a working mother, I've always considered staying at home a more difficult (albeit more rewarding) job!! What an idiot!!!!! Probably a descendant of the person that coined the "barefoot & pregnant" saying..

8 You should've offered him some salt to go with the foot he stuck in his mouth! Unreal...

10 Now, eating the kid's Halloween candy is another thing, entirely...

11 Say, if you aren't gonna eat all your bon-bons, would you mind passing some this way? Thanks.

12 Bon bons? Where do you even buy bon bons? Now Baby Bottle Pops, that's another story...
