Comments: hurdling the reindeer

That is one of the funniest things I have ever read. I think the reason it is so funny is because I have so been there. *LOL*

Hillarious.
Kids.. Don't have them but love them. Sometimes I feel they know much more about the world than we do. Sometimes I feel I am one myself :)

LOL...kids definitely have an edge on things that wearing a suit and tie just can't touch!

You are an absolutely delightful writer Toni, I have read for over an hour now and I can't get enough. It's amazing what grown "boy-children" can do to a house on Christmas break. You have really captured the essence of true "mother-hood", at least as I know it....very funny stuff. Merry Christmas!!!!!!

Wow - that generated a great mental image! Hillarious!

At first I was going to feel bad for your sons, what with you airing their dirty laundry all over your blog. I mean, what if one of their girlfriends reads this?

But then? When I got to the end and he was JOKING about having to go? Forget it. I say, "You throw those gloves off Toni" and I encourage you to write more of their embarrassing stories.

(And yes, as usual....another hysterical entry. You know, you are one of the few who can consistently make me laugh.)

Ooooh, that's just so mean and low of him to do that to you! LOL....well now you have your chance for revenge ;) Every date he goes on, his wedding...you can tell this story.

Very amusing story, and one I can relate to very much. I love your writing in general. Take care.

Ohmygod - - I'm laughing so hard that I'm crying. CRYING! That story was hysterical. Yes, I've been there, but NOT quite like that.

It reminds me of the time my 3 year old peed all over the airline seat in his sleep and woke up in hysterics (and yes, everyone was staring, but there was no place to hide). The airline personnel's solution? Throw a blanket on the seat. God knows what they did for the poor person who had that seat on the next flight.

That was FUNNY.

A couple of years ago, my son was playing under the tree with his toys, and he starts gagging and yelling that the "chocolate is yucky!" We got a puppy for Christmas, and the puppy had an accident under the tree... you do the math. I can barely wait to tell that story to his prom date.
