Found a LJ entry I began earlier this year during a cognitive moment and forgot to post. It's yet another one of those strange kinds of conversations I have with my kid.

I agree about that line. Had me ROFL!

oh my... you gave me such a laugh! i had to hold the snort back since my boss has his door open and having a meeting...;)

My son kept me laughing with his reasons why a monkey would be a good pet. All I could envision was a diapered, horny humping monkey having its way with my furniture. No way was I cleaning his monkey butt.

We really need a JC Day! Would love to see you and Diana!

A JC day sounds wonderful. We should try to plan for a weekend soon. Let's rally the others. I've missed you ladies.
