boy oh boy...

We recently found ourselves some new digs (is that how you say we moved in cool ghetto tongue?).  therefore I've gone up in popularity 87% this past month with my brothers because I have this cool new 2 room, 2 bathroom, spacious apartment with stairs for them to lounge around in. 

(that and the play station was banned from my parents house and placed in mine which means they have to sugary sweet ask me if they can come over to visit and then nonchalantly ask if they can play their favorite games before they become crazed maniacs due to the withdrawals of not having their smarts drained from their gray matter)

Any who, I'm actually enjoying the new found popularity because being the only girl and the oldest has knocked me down to the bottom of all my brothers totem pole's, I'm not cool enough for any of their reindeer games, and I don't smell so clearly, I am an outcast (that and I can still beat their bums when they need a good pummel).  

However, my brothers often times leave me little reminders after they have graced my presence, I guess a little house warming gift if you will.....

oh yes, that would be a left up toilet seat, where, brother #'s 2-4 have marked their spot in bright yellow.  oh there is nothing better.  I'm sure there is more "left overs" on the floor, but I don't dare look at that point.  I've lived with boys for 26 years, all of my earthly existence, and urine left un-mopped still makes my ears buzz just a bit...

get used to it you say? it's been 26 years and it shouldn't bother me anymore! let me tell you this, there is nothing worse then running into your house on the verge of soiling yourself, dropping your pants full speed ahead and plunging down on the toilet seat that you so naively thought was ready to greet your bottom and instead falling in because SOMEONEBROTHER left the toilet seat up. 

After you're able to pull your bare buns out of the bowl you realize the worst part of it all, YOU'VE JUST SAT IN UN-MOPPED UP PEE DRIBBLES! oh the shame, disgust and ear buzzing horror! from there you just strip down and leap into the shower. (and don't think about what goes on in that drain) the urge to pee will come back after you feel girly clean once more.

I must say this experience has left me crossing my fingers that this baby of mine comes out a girl, but my mom made the same wish and was jinxed with four boys so I'm a bit more careful of what I wish for.  But through it all I think I could handle it, 26 years has taught me something about, boys, hose's and urine, and no son of mine will EVER EVER KNOW that he has the option of STANDING AND PEEING EVER! 

but my boy can know that when he wants to play play station, he has four awesome uncles who he can sugary sweet ask for help in sucking out all smarts from his gray matter and making him feel like he's cool, even if their sister never was.
