Helpful hints for people who eat feet.


Tip number 423 for mothers of teenaged girls:


423. When you’re doing dishes and your daughter walks in with her girlfriend, check to see if there are any STRAGLERS coming in. Odds are great that her new “fella” will sneak in a few moments later as quietly as a stealth bomber, and overhear the following comments.

“I’m SO glad Jack had the nerve to come meet me! Not like that OTHER loser, what was his name? Anyway, he doesn't LOOK creepy, he's SO CUTE!!! And…”

Right about then your 17 year-old daughter MIGHT shout out, “MOM, mom, mom, MOM!!!”

When you turn around and see him standing there sheepishly with his hands in his pockets, don’t be surprised.



And WHY am I so shocked that my foot fits so easily into my mouth these days? (It's a perfect fit.)



tip jar.

  3. Priceless!

    I recently found out that my youngest has a boyfriend, at school. They've been an item for about 4 months now. Everyone had orders NOT to tell me. Why, you ask? Probably so I won't try to sabotage it, like she tried to do with my relationship with John. the kids KNOWS that paybacks are a bitch!

  7. Think about it this way, the people who eat their feet more need odor eaters less. They may need a mint though..

  18. My father said "Yo, yo, G-man what's up?" when he met my first boyfriend (whose name started with a G).

    You really can't get much more embarrassing than that. The dads are always the worst. Don't sweat it, mama. ;)

  23. I'm trying to work this out. Your mouth is foot-shaped or your foot is mouth-shaped?

  24. Yes it happens! The side effect is that the straggler knows what is important to you and is put on notice by the event, it's not all bad!
