Hump Day
September 23, 2009 | Filed under: Stuff
It was just a regular old walk along the river, I was just minding my own bid-ness.

But I had cookies, and therefore crumbs.

And therefore, I shortly had friends. It started out with the one scout.

And he brought a friend.

And so on … But this little guy? He latched onto me and kept asking “Are you my mother?”

And since all I have at home these days are very grumpy, sullen teenager girls (OMG, I am not kidding), I was tempted to tell him yes, I’m your momma. Especially since you can’t talk.

Very serene. Cute friends you’ve got there.
Lately I’ve felt like a sullen teenager. Sadly it’s not a good thing as an adult. No excuses. Sigh.
But it’s half-way to the weekend, and those are always welcome. Have a good one.

Awwww…
Sullen teens suck. And sometimes they stay that way too. Ducks only leave feathers and crap. Oh. Wait. Nevermind.

Sorry about the sullen teens, but thanks for sharing the pretty pictures. I say you should adopt the cute duck. Looks like he might be able to make the sullen teens laugh.

As of this morning I was wishing my little one couldn’t talk, he didn’t want breakfast, didn’t want to brush his teeth, didn’t want to go to school, and I was just thinking I should have stayed in bed!! Does this sound familiar to you? Hope they get over their crabbiness. And way cute pics!

He’d be so happy, you’d be so happy, and the teenage girls would be even more sullen when they found him swimming in the bathtub!

Love the pictures. Your pictures are always a treat for the eyes.
Sullen teenage girls.
Have more cookies! The best I can give you is that someday you can sit back & smile when they are dealing with sullen teenage girls or boys for that matter!!

OMG – I just realized that my son will be turning 20. So as of November 9 he will never be sullen again right?

I know exactly what you’re talking about with sullen teens. If mine doesn’t snap out of her bad attitude soon I may go batty.

Lovely pix. Sympathy on sullen teens–bet the tonsil-less one is REALLY pouty now. I hate to tell you, but, my youngest is 44 & he’s still sullen. It doesn’t NECESSARILY go away when they become adults….

Grumpiness must be in the air cause all three of my hoodlums are acting out!

Yes, but the duck can quack which would also get very annoying.
