At least the mini-hamburgers were cheaper than Botox.
Prepare yourself for the ultimate irony. You’re going to love this.
I actually wrote today’s earlier post about too much kissing while I was standing in the Apple store in the mall. Don’t worry, kidlet was playing a video game right beside me.
Fake Parenting Award ‘O The Year, earned just as we’re closing out 2008!
As soon as I finished getting my daily blog fix, I told MacKenzie that I had a special treat for her: I was taking her to lunch at “The Fancy Place” (what she calls Ruby Tuesdays). We had a lovely lunch of mini-hamburgers and some very spicy french fries. We both kept talking about how spicy they were — they were seriously so spicy that we each only ate a couple of them.
Fast forward to tonight: our lips have been burning LIKE THE FIRES FROM HADES FOR HOURS NOW. Also: they are puffy and swollen, but not the “oh, she’s got great lips” kind of swollen look.
Thus, our conversation on the drive home tonight:
MacKenzie: “My lips are burning really bad, Amy Beth!”
Me: “I know, baby. Mine hurt too but I don’t know what to do.”
MacKenzie: “Is this what it feels like when you kiss a boy for too long?”
Me: “Absolutely.”
Hey, at least it’ll encourage her to maintain a high level of purity when she’s a teenager.
Also: The lady at the table next to us had a live puppy on her table throughout our meal. I just needed to share that with someone as it seemed perfectly natural to MacKenzie, the girl who couldn’t figure out why I thought that was weird.
I am still laughing!!!!!!!!!! still!!!!!!
That post was a hoot! Sorry the laughter was at the expense of your “hot lips”. Maybe I should try out your Purity Plan with my 4 kids.
).
Hope you and MacKenzie feel better soon
Better a live puppy than a dead one, I guess.
haha
you crack me up!
Benadryl – does your lips some good!
Ha! I love it…
By the way – we’ve had to stop eating at RT because there is SO MUCH SEASONING on the kids meals. It’s weird, really. I never thought to use that story with my girls, though. Good one.
I can’t believe it did that to your lips! Crazy!
And yes, puppy on the table = weird.
you know, I can completely lost focus on the gravity of your burning lips when you mentioned the puppy…which I hope she didn’t buy at a pet store but adopted from a shelter or a shelter group who may be at a pet store…in the spirit of Bob Barker…get you new furry friends spayed and neutered this year…
…now back to those burning lips…what the heck?! how about a warning Fancy Place???
That is hilarious!
BTW, I gave your fabulous blog an award on my blog yesterday! Merry Christmas!
Maybe the lady with the puppy was the same lady that I saw in the Wal-mart on Dalton Pike with a LIVE MONKEY ON HER SHOULDER!!! IN WAL-MART! Welcome to TN!
Srly, let Ruby Tuesdays KNOW!!! They do have a good chicken sandwich, I must say.
I’d hate to be the people who ate at the table after the dog lady. GROSS!
Awesome! (The hot fries, not the dog in a dining establishment!)
I wish someone had told me my lips would burn!!
I can’t believe they had a PUPPY on the table… sick!
This post is so great for so many reasons…I can’t even get into all of them
On. her table? I missed that on the first read. I thought you said AT the table and I was still going to flip out.
I can’t stand people who have to take their animals everywhere1 Attachment disorder anyone? and I don’t mean the pet!
Regarding burning lips — I once dated a guy (who is SOOO cute by the way) who, whenever we kissed, which was often – my lips would burn and sting until I saw him again! I never did figure out what was different about his kisses, but my lips were always a little sore… in a nice way. if they weren’t sore, we had been apart for too long!
There are some people on this planet who still think he is my sole mate… we’ll see.
