O.k. before I tell you all about Cinco and Tres workin' the system, there are just a few items to be cleared up. There has been a bit of a negative vibe going down. Since we have already cleared the air about the pooh issue (pun intended) I'm hoping that if I change the name of the blog this will calm the bad vibe and put the "fun back in dysfunctional" I will take suggestions for a new name, keep it cleanish. Also I think that we should make it policy not to rip on the kids, I don't care how freakishly pale, hyper, or psycho they are, they shouldn't be picked on. Now the adults, take your best shot Nubs! Now on with the show.......
When I went into Tres's room this morning singing "wake up sunshine it's a brand new day" not really, I was only humming, I noticed a sign lying next to his pillow. Now, I say sign because it was written on a piece of cardboard with a black sharpie, kind of like a homeless guy begging for money would use. Except in this case it was a toothless kid begging for money. And it read "Dear tooth fairy how much is a silver tooth and my brother is wondering do we alwase get mony when we loose our teeth." I didn't quite know what to make of that, but it all made sense when I next went in to wake Cinco. Sticking out from underneath his pillow, were two pieces of paper with the following messages. "Deer tooth fairy. I am 6. I love you and do you love me. Sind Cinco" He didn't really sign it with Cinco, but you get the idea. Next paper said "I lost my tooth at school and i coud not find it." I know you're all going ahhhh, so cute, until I tell you that Cinco didn't lose no stinkin' tooth. They thought they could scam old tooth fairy.

How stinkin clever. Crap, I think I'm going to get deleted again.
Heh heh...fairy...heh heh...loves the fairy...heh heh.
If we can't make fun of the kids, what good are they?
Oh yeah, one more thing, who's the one who ratted me out to MOAML? She called me and scolded me for my posts.
MOAML does have computer skills, you probably ratted yourself out. Hmmm, could it be?
I like how in your final comment about not mocking the children, you took one final jab a my freakishly pale children.
When will your children learn to use their jenius for good instead of evil?
As soon as I posted my comment I decided it needed a disclaimer, because MOAML often wonders if I've ever read a book.
I spelled jenius this way as an ode to our father.
Tell Tres that begging with a cardboard sign is so cliche. I always pretend I don't see those signs; the toof fairy probably does too. Tell him to be more original next time. Or maybe you just need to buy some paper.
Oh,and Jim: Duh.
Holly,
Are your children freakishly pale? I've never noticed, you know you really should try complimenting their positive qualities.
I hereby compliment the positive qualities of everybody's dumb kids.
There. Everyone happy?
P.S. Sidney's not dumb. She's the best one.
I agree, Evil BIL. It's because she takes after Sam, Jordan, and Cole.
Hahaha Jim. You got yourself in trouble. Hahahaha. Just so you know Jim, before MOAML called to ream you she called me at work to tell me that she loves me and thinks I'm smart. Awesome.
MOAML, you're the best.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Whatever,
MOAML called me up to tell me she loves me and thinks I'm bubbly.
Big whoop.
When we were sitting around talking about this, I thought it was funny.
Now, in the cold light of day, in print, it just looks crude and mean and low-class. I apologize for and regret my part in it.
I hope none of the grandkids ever read any of this.
MOAML likes me best. That is all.
Cold light of day? Mom, it's like 70 degrees outside right now.
Way to go Dave.
You're ruining Tracy's blog.
Blaming me huh?
Mom, Jim's making me feel bad again.
There, I guess you can expect another phone call soon.
Aw geez, Mom; we're just bonding. Plus, it makes me laugh . . . and it's a great way to fritter away our time!
Yeah party pooper mom.
You should be happy we're not nice. Nice people are usually closet perverts.
Take back your party poop.
And Motherload: I think Mom just insulted your glamour shot. But I don't think it's "low class"; I think it's lovely.
I'm going to respest MOAML's wishes and remove myself from any further crude, mean, and low class vulgarity!
(buy me something mommy????)
Jim said POOP and POOPER. I do believe that is violation of blog posting rules and would request that Motherload take action against him.
Pam, you spell like a 4th grader.
It's bothered me for a long time that, when we all sit around together, it is all sarcasm, all the time. It gets more mean and more personal as time goes by.
Perhaps you really do love each other and want each other to have the best lives possible, and to be as happy as possible. Maybe you all really do hope that we can be united as a family in Heaven. I really don't know. What's said in jest often contains some truth, and I see an awful lot of hostility. If I have made you feel that our family life is a zero sum game, and that you have to tear each other down in order to feel good about yourselves, I apologize.
Kind words are hardly ever uttered. And, it's one thing to sit around saying sarcastic things. It's quite another when the only record you make is a negative one.
But, I'm particularly worried about grabbing cheap laughs at the expense of little kids. Little kids don't understand sarcasm. They take everything very literally. Characterizing little kids in negative ways, even as a joke, can be destructive.
The world is becoming a much more hostile place to anyone with any values. You kids faced challenges growing up that I didn't face. Your children will have an even harder time.
The family needs to be a place where we encourage each other, not make each other feel low, or crude, or worthless. I am not [whatever your favorite scatological reference is]. Neither are any of you. Most especially, neither are any of the little ones.
That doesn't mean we have to be holier-than-thou all the time. We can still have fun. But can't we set a little higher standard?
I resent that comparison, Evil B. Sam, a fourth grader, knows very well how to spell "respect." Pam, next time just think:
"R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Find out what it means to me
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Take care, TCB"
You're funny, though, Pam. (Don't know how much that means to you, however, coming from #6 Funny.)
Oops. I posted my response before I saw Mom's. So sorry for any lame/mean responses on my part. I love, love, love you all!!!!!! :)
Dang. I knew I shouldn't have minored in scatology.
So what if I spell like a 4th grader, I'm HOT!!
much more appropriate blog address
So twue, Pam. So twue.
