Um…uh…

I clicked on that link (the “warning” link, not the Madonna one).

Is someone training those people to use the toilet with one of those things you use to train a cat? Because…they appear unclear on the concept of where stuff should go.

Connie – You know those pages where you see the silhouette of someone, through the frosted glass of the classroom door? Chloe always shudders on those pages, fretting that it’s Miss Swamp; and then she giggles and laughs when we turn the page and it is the principal or the Miss Nelson-imposter….but when you turn the page and it IS Miss Swamp – Oh My!!! fuhgetaboutit!!!! She howls and cringes and says she’s a witch!!

I suppose it doesn’t help that we tend to read the book in an animated way…and when I got in trouble with Pam the next day (Chloe was up in the middle of the night!) I pointed out that her brother and sister were NO HELP (to no avail)….and now we have put that book away. (Chloe has been asking – full of foreboding and trepidation – where the book is, and I feign ignorance…which I’m good at!)

Brian, we used to have t-shirts that said “Viola Swamp is watching you and don’t you forget it.” With Viola’s lovely face of course. Always funny when out in public to notice who got it.

I’m afraid to take general anesthesia. Last time I did, I almost got killed. I went under for an endoscopy. The attending nurse was attractive,though nothing special. When I was waking up, so I’m told, I reached up and patted her on the cheek and said ,”You’re charming & beautiful”. You think that was enough to get me in hot water with the wife? Now for the good part. I looked in her direction and said “And then there’s HER”. Damn truth serum.

The power of books! Last night, when I was watching Olbermann, Chloe (our 4 year old) wanted me to read “Miss Nelson is Missing” to her – which features a character that Chloe finds terrifying - Miss Viola Swamp! The book is a hoot, and we’ve read it many times before, but the power that the book exerts over Chloe’s imagination has grown right along with her……

And I think Madonna Un-Plugged (et al) look like the mysterious substitute teacher, Miss Viola Swamp

The Daily Mail is also good about publishing pics of former 80s pop stars who haven’t been under the knife and have the bad taste to go out in public without makeup or having their hair done–in other words, looking their age. You can’t win.

I’ve been through this twice. It is not much to endure compared to full on bowel cancer, as I have seen it experienced by several friends and relatives of mine.
