In honor of my being away at a writer's retreat, I am reblogging some of my favorite old posts. This one I think I will love until the day I die! By the way, Hybrid Mom magazine is no longer in print, but they do have a website still.
From October 13, 2009
Wait! Don't worry! This is NOT too much information about my family!!! But I DID embarrass myself at the doctor's office today when I burst out laughing at something I read in the Fall 2009 issue of Hybrid Mom magazine!
I've blogged before (A little gross out!) about a couple of comedians (literally!), Tom and Cynthia Papa. Their articles are one of the things I like the most about Hybrid Mom.
In this issue, they both discuss the things that they are hearing themselves say to their children, things that they never thought they would be saying--kind of like me with "Don't pee on the bee!" But Cynthia Papa wins hands down with the best of the best! Cynthia tells it like this:
"One day my girls saw my husband changing his clothes through the slightly opened bedroom door. They came running to me in horror asking, "What's wrong with Daddy's vagina?" I answered in the most logical way that I knew how so as to avoid any awkward conversation. I said, "There is nothing wrong with your father's vagina." And left the room. "
Hope everything is looking OK in YOUR world!
