We changed blog hosts? Joe Amarante and Pat Ferruci joined the party? Tom Torrisi and Karen Olsen cashed in their chips? Was somebody going to tell me?
Seriously, though, sorry for the long absence. But anyone with young kids knows what summer is all about: complete hell, counting the days until school starts and doing everything in your power to keep the Department of Children and Families from seizing your children. (Ha, Ha, Mr. DCF man, my 6 year old is such a kidder. She only had to live in the tree house for a few days. But look how clean her bedroom is!)
The big task this summer has been potty training the 2 year old. This is a task that requires a focused intensity greater that the heat of a million suns. This was a typical conversation in the Kid You Not home during the past few weeks:
"Do you have to go pee-pee?"
"Do you have to go poopy?"
Repeat, over and over and over.
I've been peed on so many times, fetish web sites are calling for tips. But it's all been worth it, because we have not bought a diaper in weeks. Freeedoommm!!!
So anyhow, Kid You Not is back and ready for the kind of insightful observations and completely inappropriate banter not seen since Paul Lynne had a TV show.
The DCF man is gone, young lady. Now get in that tree house!
