night (tele)vision...

last night, at around 2 a.m., both my kids simultaneously decided to wake up and not go back to bed.  considering myself a fairly decent and hip mother, i chose not to make an issue of it and let them sit up a while. providing them the opportunity to join me in watching one of life's little pleasures - kappa mikey.

they were so thrilled, they could hardly contain their excitement.

ben, sweet ben.  you know i love you with all my heart.  and if there is one morsel of wisdom i can impart to you in which you'll carry forth the rest of your life, it is this:

the hannah montana sunglasses would stay on better if they were sitting on top of your ears.  also, balance your jewelry.  if you have a bracelet on one hand, put the ring on the other.  that will distribute the weight while you play piano.  a little lipstick wouldn't hurt, either.

one question.  is this because i listened to too much scissor sisters when i was pregnant with you?

dear anon.,

you are very astute to point out the shameful lack of hadzic kid photos. the reason for said omission might be explained by two possible scenarios:

1.  their mother doesn't let them do anything of interest.

and/or

2.  when their mother does let them do something of interest, she forgets that she owns a camera.

thank you for your concern.  rest assured, we've got our best people working on the problem.

a fan in an unrevealed location in the U.S. asks,

"who does the blogging, orhan or kim?"

that would be me, with my spouse having about 3% creative input.  i give the kids credit for a significantly higher 4% input as they are a frequent source of my inspiration.

i hope that answers your question, fan in unrevealed.

"MOM! you can't use MY toilet!  your butt's too big!"

sophie, 4 years old.

okay.  i knew that.  she really didn't have to confirm my insecurities. i tried to explain to her that the toilet is safety tested at over 1200 lbs. but, since she can't count much beyond 20, she wasn't impressed.

wow.  i desperately need to shave my legs.  i've really let myself go. and can somebody please tell me when we got another cat?  i have no idea why i didn't notice it until just now.  i must've really been concentrating on something else at the time.  probably was doing the sudoku puzzle.
