Ferocious


A few years ago I stocked up on the sales after Halloween of costumes- (99 cents these were!). The other day E says "mom, I need a good shield" what kid says that out of the blue? Well....come to think of it, humm, had a shield! What mom gets to say "okay, give me just a sec" and pulls out these beauties?

I was a hero- (for like 1 minute- but a hero nonetheless). These are our ferocious knight faces- and yes- the bulging neck muscles were just an added touch I mustered up for the photo.




Is this not the best "mean knight" face? We call it stink face- I catch him practicing his stink face in the rear view mirror sometimes and it is HILARIOUS!!! Sometimes I just say "gimme some stink face" just to be silly and get something WAY crazier than this. But today- he could not come up with anything more fericious. I adore this little stink face.

Yes, yes- the one above is a good one.

So worth every little penny and more. I love having things stashed away. And- being a hero. I don't feel like the hero very often so it felt damn good- even for 1 minute.

Totally random but I find that the words- damn, bastard, bloody, hell and cheeky have snuck their nasty little heads into my vocabulary as of late- in no particular order and not always together but sometimes a few of them find themselves placed every so nicely next to each other- not intended to offend- they just seem to fit in quite well with what I seem to be saying- well---and feeling at the moment.
Sorry mom. You know you love it- secretly... deep down- you say them too....
For some reason I'd rather hear Elliott say damn instead of crap any day or hell- wouldn't that be hilarious? He drops a bite on the floor... "oh hell mom"- Or- well- you get the point. I'd die laughing. If he only knew that I thought this, I can only imagine his fowl mouth- kidding, kidding. I save all of this for those above a certain age. Like you fine folks.
I said it was random.
I'm on one tonight.
Goodnight!

So does "cheeky" count as a bad word? Because I really like it, but Jeremy might fall over in shocked stupor if he heard me be too profain. So I say it's a perfectly good word to use. I'm also fond of a good, "Aaarrrrrrrrrgggghh..." yelled really loud during moments of frustration.

Carly! You little potty mouth:) You need to live in So. Africa where your vocab would fit the church standards (hell and damn can be spoken over the pulpit, but don't you ever use the word crap or idiot)
