Gris-Grits tagged<\/a> me and ’cause it gets me all blushy and bashful<\/a>, I’m totally going to do it again.\u00c2\u00a0 The rules are the same, but as I mentioned last time, I’m terribly unreliable when it comes to things like RULES.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s one of many things I’m unreliable about, actually.\u00c2\u00a0 Here are some more…<\/p>\n

1. I cannot be trusted to put shoes away, ever.\u00c2\u00a0 Particularly before bedtime, which means that someone who is stumbling through the dark to find the bathroom is likely to encounter shoes.\u00c2\u00a0 Be warned.<\/p>\n

2. Recipes are very hard for me to follow.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s not that I CAN’T follow directions, it’s just that it is an incredible bore.\u00c2\u00a0 Paul disagrees.\u00c2\u00a0 He likens my meddling with recipes to a dog marking it’s scent on every passing lamp-post.\u00c2\u00a0 Lovely man, my Paul.<\/p>\n

3. I cannot be trusted to keep my mouth shut.\u00c2\u00a0 Ever.\u00c2\u00a0 About anything.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s one of my charms.<\/p>\n

4. I bit through my tongue when I fell off a sit-and-spin at age 5.\u00c2\u00a0 My tongue had a hole for years from the bite and still has a visible cut.\u00c2\u00a0 The fall happened because I wasn’t listening and was standing on the toy.\u00c2\u00a0 I show Will the injury as a warning of what happens when Children Don’t Listen.<\/p>\n

5. Doctors wondered if I would have a thumb nail after I slammed my left hand in a door (also at age 5).\u00c2\u00a0 Surgeons re-attached my thumb and a few months later, a new nail grew in.\u00c2\u00a0 Today, there is no visible evidence of any injury, so I do not have the physical evidence required to use it as cautionary tale to my children.<\/p>\n

6. I would give it all up to tour with The Supremes.<\/p>\n
