BlogHer13 Re-Entry: Annual BlogHer Tattle-Tale List



Around here, we do the BlogHer recap differently. We publish the BlogHer Family Tattle Tale list compiled by my youngest boy, Auggie, while I'm gone Wednesday through Sunday. For five days, he keeps a notebook and I come home to ruled sheets of paper filled top to bottom with all transgressions done unto him by family members in my absence.

The best thing that comes out of BlogHer is coming home to this Tattle Tale List. 

Welcome to my joy, as recorded and reported, by Auggie:

WEDNESDAY:  There's no tattles. My friend is here. He never saw Diary of a Wimpy Kid so we watched it.


THURSDAY -- Dad wouldn't let me get something at ToysRUs that was four dollars with my own money *put this in all caps*

FRIDAY -- This is not a tattle but Dad made Italian sausage not chicken nuggets. Shocking. But he cooked them frozen. That is not shocking. We made him use the meat thermometer because Xavier (16 year old brother) was scared of pork poisoning and they looked pinkish.

SATURDAY -- Xavier is driving me insane (all caps please). It's really bad. He keeps bugging me about seeing Pacific Rim even though I don't want to. He says "Oh yeah you gotta see this it's so cool." It doesn't look good. There's too many giant robots and not enough giant monsters. 

STILL ON SATURDAY -- Also Dad was okay, though he said "Your behavior is quote quote uneventful." Because I was trying not to get in trouble. But not really behaving, just not being naughty.

SATURDAY STILL --  Amazing. Dad got me a book WITH HIS OWN MONEY.

AND STILL -- Xavier keeps bugging me to see the movie, it's infuriatin' (no G, mom just an apostrophe)

ON ALL THE DAYS -- Whenever we meet people and whenever we see people we know Dad always used the same lame joke and when people ask how it's going with mom gone, he says, "Their limbs will all be on." The same joke. It's so annoying and cheesy.

SUNDAY -- Only one more day, mom. Dad is crabby. Just because I asked him if he was ever going to take a shower or just read the paper all day. Also, I don't think he wears underwear under his pajamas. It doesn't look like it.

BAD STUFF: I missed you Thursday the most. I cried. Because everyone left at the same time: Alec (18 year old brother) and my cousin and my friend. And you.

GOOD STUFF: You got me a lot of souvenirs while you were gone, right, mom?

"Mom!"
 Dearest Auggie: There was a toy party I went to... you'll have to wait and see. (Check the silver bag) Love, Mom. xo

  2. This was hysterical! My husband sent me a message stating that our youngest daughter emphatically told him - I MISS MOMMY!!! - because he didn't handle a disciplinary action correctly. I'm guessing that's a compliment to me, right? :)

  6. He just now realized your husband goes commando?...giggle... I love this. So relieved mykids are not tthe only ones who tattle on their father, so glad my husband is not the only one who uses my absence as an excuse to lay around, and so glad my husband is not the only one who doesn't wear underwear (am I over sharing?) PS: I read all your FB posts and was jealous with envy. One day BlogHer baby!

  9. Oh this is AWESOME. I love the directives to put things in all caps. What a hilarious kid you have. The "On All The Days" category made me almost spit my coffee.

  21. On All The Days is my favorite because really, all the days this happened. And more, underwear under the pajamas. IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT. I'ma die. Aren't you glad to be back?

    ReplyDelete
  22. I love that he made his dad use the meat thermometer to test the doneness of the sausage!

  23. You're all so wonderful to cheer this little guy on. He missed me so much, and hugged me tighter than any person on earth ever dreams of. He is a treasure. I am a lucky woman.

  24. Oh my goodness this is so sweet. Love this. What a great way to record what you missed...and through the eyes of a child. Awesome.

  25. Besides "it doesn't look like it," I'm a fan of "And still... infuriatin'" Love that Auggie doggie. Seems to me he's either turning kinda zen, or things were kinda calm in the kingdom. Calm before storm, given the circumstances with your dear mom, but maybe everyone was on their best behavior because they knew what was important.

  26. OMG, this:

    "Also, I don't think he wears underwear under his pajamas. It doesn't look like it."

    is comedy gold. I love this kid.
