31 May
Well, here we are, the last day of the three day weekend. Sigh... Well, it's a beautiful day, and there is still the barbecue in the back yard this afternoon, though that may be a little tense since everyone's mad at Katie.
She was supposed to be home at 7p last night, as Cynthia told me when she and Fran went out the door on their date, but by 9.30 she wasn't back and hadn't called, and her Dad had come round and he was mad enough to kill her.
At 10.20p she called and she was out with a friend and her mother, who was a real piece of work, and said that rather than bringing her home, she was taking her out to the movies and that she'd bring her home afterwards and Cynthia had said that it was okay, which I knew was bullshit.
But even though the mom was retarded, when Cynthia had clearly told her that she wanted Katie home by 7p, Katie knew better so Katie is, I think, grounded until her 25th birthday.
Let me tell you, if you keep an on-line journal and are disappointed in the amount of mail you get, may I recommend talking about Little Bunny Foo Foo?
Michelle said that she learned it Little Rabbit Foo Foo and that the goooooood fairy turned said rabbit into a "HaiRRRRRy ghoul".
Tracing said that she, being a damned furriner, didn't know the song, but that her husband had hysterics when hearing a woman singing to her daughter on the subway "Little Bunny Foo Foo/I don't like your attitude/Scoopin' up the field mice/And boppin' them on the head"!
Dianne comes down firmly on the side of rabbit, stating that "A bunny doesn't bop field mice! A bunny is too stupid to do that."
Robert also insists on the Little Rabbit Foo Foo theory, stating firmly that it is "Pat the Bunny, Little Rabbit Foo Foo. It's easy."
Well clearly everyone is just WRONG!
This reminds me of when Dave Barry was discussing whether it was the Itsy Bitsy Spider (wrong) or the Eensy Weensy Spider (right!) in his column, and later said that he had never gotten so much mail that stated with great force and conviction stuff like "My God, EVERYONE knows it's the Gleensy Shmeensy Spider!"
Nothing brings out strong opinions like kids songs. I won't even bring up "Say Say O Playmate!"
By the way, The Last Girl Scout said that a great trick for getting a song out of your head is to sing "Amazing Grace" to the tune of "Gilligan's Island."
I tried it last night in bed, and started laughing so hard that I could barely get to sleep. It works perfectly, though it gets tricky around "The Professor and Mary-Ann" bit!
Today's horoscope:
Keep the channels of communication open with your family. If you are truly interested in what they tell you, they will share more.
One year ago today:
If she would remember her lines, that would be a treat as well, but you can't have everything in this life.
