Word

As in "Word Up" or "Word to your sister" or "What was that all about?" -- this shout goes out to you (you know who you are):

-To you, very attractive, middle-aged woman of at least one small child that I spied at McDonald's play land. While we all do our best to look our best whatever that may mean on any given day, your slightly short sweater and slightly low riding jeans that separated when you sat down to reveal several inches of your red thong gave me a giggle. Heh.heh. I wonder if she knows what that looks like.

-To you, older gentleman who rushed in front of me at the Kroger self-checkout. I had twice as many items as you and an 18 month old in tow. You got to that station first while I took the next one that opened up and I STILL FINISHED WAY BEFORE YOU. Save your energy for getting ahead somewhere else in life, buddy.

-To you, City of Dublin. The "No Sledding" signs that you posted have been taken out by hordes of children on sleds many of whom are unable to read. Accept it. It's a hill. It has snow on it. Sleds will rule.

-To you, Michelle Obama. Please make it easier on moms -- not harder. We're all pulling for you. So far.

-To IKEA, I could really use some words in the assembly instructions. Nothing fancy. "TOP" or "BOTTOM" would do...

That's all I got for today.
