I've failed as a mother

With all of my grandiose ideas about teaching my kids to read and learn stuff, I completely neglected some of the finer points of childhood. And after a 20 minute conversation with The Girl yesterday trying to explain who Marvin the Martian is and why 'Where's the kaboom?' is so damn funny and her just totally not getting it...I realized what a loser I truly am.

Or she is.
I haven't really decided which.

But I did, in an attempt to redeem us both, order a crap load of dvds this morning because, with God as my witness, no child of mine shall ever utter "Who's Bugs Bunny?" again.

"Where's the kaboom? There was supposed to be an earth shattering kaboom"

Do you mean sad like quoting Ace Ventura sad? Cause I'm SO there.

Every time I park the car...."Lyyyyke a glovvve!"...they don't get it.

Duct tape and DVDs and they'll never question you again.

Promise.

I love this blog. I just stumbled across it. Well done! 3 Hole Punch is probably the best name for an ex-husband's girlfriend ever.

The Marvin the Martian episodes were hands down the funniest Bugs Bunny ones evah.

My seven year old son doesn't get why they're so funny, either, which makes me feel at turns frustrated and sad.

Kids these days.
