Last night I was at my nephew Charles’ baseball game (he’s a senior and it’s the last one I’ll get to attend which makes this #FanAunt sad, nostalgic, and rather old-feeling) and it was getting pretty TENSE up in there – HELLO, extra innings?? I can’t handle the stress!!
SO naturally I texted Emily to tell her about it because THAT’S WHAT I DO IN STRESSFUL SITUATIONS! Lucky Emily, right? She responded in a way that was less about MY PROBLEMS and more about how said problems could be used for the betterment of this blog. Exhibit A:
Naturally Emily’s solution to my PROBLEM of baseball game-related stress was that I should lose my shark and get arrested so she can post my bail – and my mug shot.
This made me think of another time when I texted her recently when I was having some pain in my ovarian areas and I decided to go get ’em checked out because we take our ovaries pretty seriously around here. SO – turns out I have a cyst on my right ovary but it’s the kind that can just hang out there with no problem. But naturally when I texted Emily with this news, she had another solution:
Because OMG wouldn’t it be awesome if we had hysterectomies on the SAME DAY by the SAME DOCTOR?? SO BLOGGABLE!!!!! Twin hysterectomies and twin MENOPAUSE!! Whee!!!Blog fodder for months!!
But, I don’t want to turn into a dude. So I’m gonna try to keep my lady parts for now…even though Emily doesn’t want me to.
But anyway…do you see why I always run to my cousin Emily with my woes, people? She always has my our best interests at heart.
Hmmm…failed to inform your mother re: ovary cyst. Probably thought that I had enough on my mind. Good call, actually!
TAM and I want to get carpel tunnel surgeries at the same time. Because being on pain killers together is our idea of amazing and fun!
And I’m pretty sure you just got grounded by your mom.
Being a dude isn’t so bad. Just ask Bruce.
on a related note, I could do a never-ending blog about parents of youth athletes (at all levels, in all sports). But it would make my blood pressure skyrocket. hang in there!
