(Linda Blair shoots up into a sitting position spewing forth…)
I HEARD you the FIRST time!

(I softly tap on the door.)
(In a whisper…..)
You up yet?

Grandma’s here to take you to school; I gotta go!

No “where” did you see it last?
I DON’T KNOW!!!!

I TOLD “HIM” TO HELP ME CARRY MY STUFF IN AND HE NEVER DOES ANYTHING!!!!

(Leaning over and grasping the handle of the bag lying at my feet…)
This one?
YESSSS!!!! WHERE WAS IT?!?!?!
Some troll-like creature that goes by the name of Gork slipped into the house last night with the sole purpose of reeking havoc on your perfectly organized morning routine. Don’t worry Honey; Mommy will let him sneak in the house tonight then kick his ever-lovin’ dimply ass for disrupting everything perfect and orderly here in your room.
Mom…..you really need to go.

I have three sons. The boy version of this story sounds exactly the same. well, maybe there's a little more cussing in the dialog. By me. But remember. 3. 3 sons. If that doesn't start you cussing, nothing will.
lceel - I had a conversation with God many years ago advising Him I wanted four boys. Upon the birth of "#2" I promptly told my doctor it was time I was spayed - no way in hell I was chancing another girl.
As for the cussing, fill in the blanks where you see fit....I'm a preacher's kid.
