[...] for a Sunday night — how could I say no? (Funny coincidence that I did a rather sarcastic "5×5" right about this time last year, too. Maybe they lop off a number each time you get closer to being [...]

Oy, the pressure. Just finished a huge work deadline… I’m honored. I’ve never been “memed” before.

Tonya and Heather: I’ll look forward to them!

I know I littered my responses with jokes and probably (poor) wit, but I did like the questions in this meme. They made me think, cry, laugh and left me a bit “speechless” about how to answer them, which is a hard thing to do!

I’m on it…I write my kids letters each year at Christmas and include some Motherly Love. They’ve yet to sit through one complete paragraph, but someday I’m hoping they will appreciate it. I’ll do my best with this. Oh, how I love an assignment!

Oh my. How could I ever compare with what you wrote? You’re do damn funny. I have to meet you someday.

I’ll do it. It may be over the weekend but I’ll do it.

Thanks Susan, for another smile on my face!

You know, maybe these meme things should become group memes — even LOWER pressure. We could make them like a mad lib where everyone participates. (If you type in my name in a search engine you may find that I come up as a participant for the World’s Longest MadLib from a humor writer’s conference I attended 2 years ago. The bummer was that I couldn’t figure out from reading the mad lib if any of my responses were actually used. I assume one of my answers was.)

Lulu: I’m still impressed by your ability to italicize anything in the comments. I can’t do it unless I come here into the edit mode.

Madame Q: You’re out of luck, babe. Make it up — that’s what parenting is all about, eh?

Bob: Yeah, I know. I had to keep referring back to the category to make sure I was doing it right, but I’m not real swift at reading instructions. I don’t make up the rules (even if I tell you I do), so feel free to boil it down to whatever. See, I’m easy.

I’ll go for it, although probably not until next week. We’ll see if Joe wants to play, too.

Only problem I have with it is that I don’t see a whole lot of differentiation between the 3 categories. It all just kind of boils down to 15 things you want your kids to know.
