This post has it all: boob flashing, potty mouth and out and out hypocrisy
By hissychick | December 21, 2008
We’re off to Melbourne tomorrow for sixteen days, and unless mr hissychick Santa is generous enough to bring me one of the netbooks that I have been coveting then my presence online will be at best erratic.
Anyway.
Before I rush off to finish packing far too much useless crap and not enough of what is actually needed I thought I would share some random bits and pieces with you all:
1. Flashing my boobs at a concert isn’t what it used to be.
As part of our pre Christmas celebrations the hissychicks ventured into the big smoke for our annual pilgrimage to see the Wiggles. Yet again the skivvied four put on a fabulous show, and yet again watching how our two very individual children reacted to the performance was a source of much amusement to mr hissychick and I.
A naturally sat through the concert quietly absorbing it all, except to occasionally tell me that it was all a bit loud.
E went right off, jumping up and down on my lap in a frenetic dance to each and every song before having a spectacular meltdown (note to self: do not do the 1pm nap time show again), loudly demanding for boobie and staying put until she passed out in sheer exhaustion.
So yet again I found myself at a Wiggles concert, child popping off the boob resulting in a very unsubtle display of nipple just as I swear the film cameras were panning over our section of the audience.
Wonder if they’ll edit it out?
2. If the kid has me this sussed just shy of four then what the hell am I in for by the time she’s a (gulp) teenager?
A is currently going through an annoying obsession with using toilet words, her favouites being “poo poo” and “ka ka”. Nice. After a long session of potty mouth en route to today’s concert I thought I would do something about it. Here’s how it went:
Me (the plan being to wear the word out): A, that’s it. I am now timing you on my watch and I want you to say “Poo poo” over and over until I say stop.
A (giggling): Poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo…..
Me (saying nothing, looking at watch):………
A (questioning look in her eyes): Poo poo poo poo poo poo...(slowing down)…poo poo poo….
Me (avoiding eye contact): Keep going...
A (giggling nervously): Poo poo poo…Mummy,are you tricking me? (Slight pause) I’ve just realised you are tricking me.
Me (choking back laughter): …….
Mr hissychick (no help at all): Hahahahahahahahaha!
On the way home A decided to use “kaka”.
Me (sighing): OK A, you know what to do….start saying it…
A (scowling): I don’t want to, I’m sick of it.
Me (exasperated): Good. Now keep on saying it.
A(huffing): Ka ka ka...(pause, you can hear the neurons firing)..but Mummy, I’m not saying kaka, I’m saying car.
Me: …..
Mr hissychick (helping as usual, snorting with laughter): She’s got you there.
It’s all his fault.
3. I am such a hypocrite
Many moons ago I posted an anti Facebook rant.
So it probably is of no surprise to you to find out that I have now signed up. A friend of mine finally wore me down, pointing out that it is a rather lazy good way for people to keep in touch.
In a moment of weakness, I caved. And I’m already sucked in because I’m already wondering about my nigel not enough friends status. How positively juvenile.
Once I stop sulking I’m going to give it a go. I have switched on most of the highest privacy settings, switched off the email alerts -how freaking annoying are they- and I most certainly have not included my blog addy in my profile, retaining an air of mystery and all that* . To think that I don’t actually have to email anyone anymore, Facebook
will alert them every single time I post the inanest of drivel. Wee hee.
I am so pathetic.
Well that about wraps it up for now folks. If I don’t check in between now and Chrissy day I just wanted to wish you all a very merry one.
*but if you want to be my friend just email me…no stop that hissy! It must be the zits transporting me back to the school yard…

I’m in Ave’s friends list if you find her (her profile is on her blog). I’m a sucker for friends too.
Boobs are made for flashing, that is the only reason women breastfeed apparently. You hussy.
