A few days ago, I decided to stop blogging. "What? No!!!" I can hear your outraged cries. I don't really have a great reason, I guess I just felt like I had nothing to say...that is until this morning. Vinny and I went to Home Depot today to get some stuff for my nursery class (we're building cages for the little animals). While there, I felt the urgent call of the wild, ditched the boys, and went spend a few minutes in the little girls room. On my way in, I smiled at a very sweet looking old lady (from here on I will refer to her as Madame Poopy Pants). There was no one else in the bathroom...so I know that what I heard next came from her.
In a matter of minutes, I learned three things about Madame Poopy Pants: 1. She was suffering from some kind of bowel issue...a loud bowel issue. 2. Although she was probably 80, she had a cell phone and knew how to text better than your average teenage girl. 3. Whomever she was texting was hilarious.
As I sat there in silence, listening to the explosions, texting, beeps, and laughing, I thought about a conversation Vinny and I had about half an hour earlier. Poor Vinny works for Verizon, and touches probably 100 phones a day, all owned by other people. We were discussing some of the nastier phones he has had to handle. According to him, some are so filthy, they actually smell. That being said, let's go back to Madame Poopy Pants. My question is this: Do you think Madame Poopy Pants is a Verizon customer? And if so, any chance she washed that cell phone at the same time she washed her hands? I just got the shivers!

Nasty.
Hey, I like your new background. Or maybe I should say I heart your new background.
How funny!!!!!
hilarious! maybe you should by Vinny some antibacterial wipes... you know.. just in case!
I am outraged that you even thought about not blogging anymore. I love reading your blog, your personality comes through and I get a good laugh everytime I read it. So I am not going to let you quit even if you wanted to...by the way that is pretty disgusting, texting and pooping just don't go together!
Ha Ha Ha! You are and excellent writer. Don't EVER stop blogging. You just have a way with words. BTW, I am SO jealous of your new bed. Ours is only 10 years old, but I look forward with anticipation to the day of new springs and padding... or better yet a Tempurpedic or the like ; ) Have a great weekend and give my cousin a hug from MN!
I so love reading your blog! The very image of an old lady texting while pooping just makes me laugh. And somehow I doubt that phone was cleansed....
No, don't quit! I've noticed I've been in a blogging rut recently, along with many others. (Not as many new posts to read.) Maybe it has something to do with the major holidays being over. Valentine's Day is coming...
Ewww is right. I'd never thought about that...thanks a lot. No really, thanks. I'll be more concious (sp?). --Vinny SHOULD seriously invest in some anti-bacterial wipes for work. He can wipe down the phone before fixing it and call it some type of customer courtesy. I think customers would buy that. --Or at the very least he could use them after they left.
So Funny! Don't you DARE stop blogging. I need you to come up with code names from my 2 kids for me. I'm getting tired of referring to them as A and M.
I have to confess that there are phones that, after being held, require a serious hand-washing.
