Who's on first?

You guys know that Three Stooges bit of Who's on First!!!! It's a really smart and funny way to laugh at yourself, but it can also be frustrating. In my home I feel like I'm who's on first and my daughter is what's on second.
She called for me to tell me "Mom, Ya Gotta See This!!!"
I'm like "I gotta see what?"
She said, "No, it's a show called Ya Gotta See This!"
So I get up to see it and it's basically America's Funniest Videos for kids.
Our who's on first saga does not end there. At least three or four times in the day we have a
"What did you say?" argument. It starts with her saying something to me and I reply back with what did you say, and she says huh? and so I ask again what did you say, and she asks me what did you say, and I answer her with Yeah, that's what I'm asking you what did YOU say? and she asks huh? And then I just forget it because I'm frustrated.
We also have the I heard you say it in my head, but you didn't say it out loud. I asked her what kind of cake chocolate or vanilla. In my head I'm certain she said chocolate, when she gets the cake she tells me vanilla. Okay whatever!
And last but not least I asked this question once but forgot so I'm asking again.
 Me: "How was your day at school? "
Kid: "It was good."
15 minutes later
Me: "How was your day at school? "
Kid:  "It was good."

Thanks Larry, Curly and Moe!

I miss you already

Do you know what a textastrophe is? Is that really even a word, probably not, but allow me to explain. A textastrophe is when you are seriously texting a person and it may include some personal information. I am guilty of this myself. I went to find a dress and couldn't decide on which one so I texted pictures of myself in three different dresses, and asked which one do you like? The person replied back, who is this? I replied, oh I have the wrong number. yes, it happens to the best of us. Well one day I got a text that said "I miss you already." When I saw this I couldn't think of anyone that would text me that, but I went along with it. I responded " you want to talk about it?" Why in the world did I do that. "We got into a big fight, and now I'm at my Mom's place." Mind you this person has not once said a name or he or she, so I'm confused trying to figure out if I am the man or woman in this relationship. Then my phone rings, it's I miss you already. I let it go to voicemail, no message. They called again, no message. Then another text that said "hey". I wanted to say "hey" back but I figured jokes over because I can't reconcile with a person I've only been in relationship with for one day. So eventually they stopped texting and calling, but this is definitely a lesson in knowing numbers and double checking before sending a text.

And we're off!!!!!

I love writing, love laughing, and love telling stories. In college I had dreams to become a writer, but I only got as far as the school newspaper. Now here I am 31 years young and nothing else to do. My writing is kind of rough. I use too many comas where they shouldn't go, and I'm a run-on sentence type of girl. I talk like I write so just try to imagine my voice in your head, umkay? Anyone that really knows me can you tell you that I always have a story to tell. In my mind the story is not that funny, but once I tell it it's hilarious. What makes my stories so funny you ask? My inside voice. I have this way of saying things nice, but inside my head it's totally different. For the laughter I can giggle about anything and I passed this gene on to my daughter. Sometimes she laughs way too much that it becomes annoying! My friends tell me all the time that I'm crazy which is a loving way of saying I'm funny. I love my friends : )I've put this off long enough. Welcome to Laughter at Five Thirteen. I hope you enjoy.
